Non-Manly Games [Round 2, 2017]

[HoldenV8]

Hahah saw that as well, never heard that before, strange seems netball isn't really on it often, maybe that's just cause I don't pay attention

Mate, there are already big complaints about their coverage as its heavily favoured to the east coast teams. The Adelaide Thunderbirds are the only team in the first 5 rounds who don't have a FTA game (all on Telstra TV).

 

[HoldenV8]

If anyone think the Donkeys are 'upset' about not getting Sunday home games, they are smoking something.

Guaranteed prime time FTA television coverage for the majority of the season where they can charge their ground and jumper sponsors more. And judging by their crowds (look at tonight's).....its not like they are suffering.

They may put up token complaints but not only does their team get that 6 or 7 day turnaround each week.....they are laughing all the way to the bank.

Thought that was forward

 

[HoldenV8]

My god....how far forward was that from Roberts?

Troy Aikman couldn't have done it better......

 

[Harvies elbow]

That was forward

 

[Deleted member 26876]

Ooooohohohooooo they need to do something about finding forward passes, ridiculous

 

[wombatgc]

My god, even the Broncos fans are in disbelief!

 

[maxta]

Something very evident when we watch teams like Nth Qld/ Roosters even early in 2017 in attack.
Bodies in motion EVERY tackle, with runners expecting the ball regardless if they get it or not....makes the defence double guess, make some bad calls and most importantly - takes heat off the ball runner so often only 1-2 players in the tackle....watching Manly there were 4 Eels in most tackles to dominate due to the predictability....stopping any momentum.

 

[dowdz]

Am i the only one wishing this game gets more physical? Nice bruising encounter before the Cowboys play us.

 

[Harvies elbow]

Touchies are now officially a waste of space.

 

[dowdz]

My god, even the Broncos fans are in disbelief!

I think you are giving them to much credit lol. Like Roosters fans they are thinking it was the camera angle.

 

[ALinda]

Jason T
Should get 3 weeks for that
But the Todd and the NRL won't want there precious cowboys weakened at all, so they will let it slide.

Can't see how they can possibly 'let slide' such a blatant shoulder charge, even if it is the Cowboys...

 

[HoldenV8]

How many fxxking refs do they need to spot a blatant forward pass? Absolute joke.

4. The 3 blind mice and the one who can't see.

 

[EaglesDontTweet]

Touchies are now officially a waste of space.

Since 2013 Grand Final?

 

[Harvies elbow]

Nice bushies hanky from JT lining up that kick.

 

[Pablo]

Touchies still have a job... ..Someone has to be there to say "check it" every time a try is scored near the corner.

 

[HoldenV8]

Damn, the Cowgirls bombed that one. And to compound it the refs have stuffed up who gets the ball back.

 

[Fluffy]

The best thing about watching cows vs bongos is the refs will always resort to what they are trained in and rule make some real dodgy calls.

eg forward pass from Roberts, Blair penalty etc.

The you hear them whinge even though they normally get away with it

 

[dowdz]

Hopefully Scott will miss a week lol

 

[Harvies elbow]

Praying for a full set of extra time and no result
