Non-Manly Games [Round 4, 2016]

[HK_Eagle]

From front on I thought JT had knocked it on, but that inside shot showed otherwise. Cows unlucky there, if the ref had the balls to rule the other way it would have been a try.

And why didn't they at least have another good look or two at that inside shot, which clarified what looked like a bubble from front on? They saw it once and it was almost like they quickly wanted to forget they even checked that angle in the first place.

What a fix - crowd got to the Ref

 

[Simonmyers11]

Brisbane so not deserved that. Cowboys were robbed!

 

[dowdz]

Unlucky Cowboys. Thought Gillett disallowed try was a try. Same as JT's at the end there.

 

[Pablo]

It's a conspiracy! The NRL doesn't want the Cowboys to win a premiership

 

[KeithSheldon]

If that try didn't decide the game, they would have awarded it.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

We are going to be royally screwed when playing either of those two sides.

You can see why the pundits are predicting a 2015 GF replay in October.

 

[Budgie]

Cows robbed.
We're a looong way from those two.
May the improvement continue.
Caaaaarn the Eagles!!!

Knock on for sure as well as a badly missed tackle from Thurston. Worst player on the field

Those two hate each other and lift for each encounter.
One will be knocked out in the Finals by the Dogs or Scumos.

Whatever... Should have kicked the field goal several times.

Think you probably hit the nail on the head there @Jerry1

What we see on TV isn't everything the see in the bunker. They'd have seen that side shot more than a few times.....if they were looking. Personally I thought it was a knock on from JT.

Hopefully Milford's running game is the same sort of thing we'll see from Dylan Walker.

TBH, the cows didn't deserve it, as much as I would have preferred them over the Donks. Their forwards were soft up the middle through most of the first half and didn't ignite until the second.

Did Hunt play? Oh yeah, he made those 2 horrendous kicks during golden point that should have given the cows the win... lol

Entertaining game, though.

Put down the crack pipe dude and take some air.

 

[KeithSheldon]

Even if it was a no try to the Broncos, Eden knocked the ball into JT anyway, so the Cowboys should have gotten the ball back. Dumb decision for mine.

I thought cows deserved it. Started slow but completely dominated the second half and extra time. Thought they were going to score on almost every play at one stage. And when Taulmalomo got going was unstoppable. Plus denied two fair tries that should of won them the game. Although if granville passes to JT when he was right under the posts you'd expect him to slot it over. Good game to watch. Very open and fast.

 

[HK_Eagle]

Yeah, my thoughts too. I thought the ref got a bit over-whelmed by the occasion and took the safer option. I'll give him the BOTD given at normal speed in live time I wasn't 100% sure myself about what had happened.

 

[EaglesDontTweet]

Just have to wonder if the Broncos had continued applying pressure in the first half rather than taking the goals the result could have been very different. The result hides this.
Funnily the Broncos have probably played the Cows into form.

So your saying he didn't knock on and miss a vital tackle that lost the game?

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Well it certainly was entertaining , would have been a great atmosphere live, if you have never watched a game at Suncorp do yourself a favour and get to one, great place to watch the footy at!!
