Yet again it is time to come onto this site and say the standard and consistency of the officialdom is non-existent. And I am very seriously starting to think there is a conspiracy of poor-decision making being applied to Manly.
We have already been cost three games through disgraceful and inconsistent decisions. Consider the ledger today!
Fien FELL OVER when he came in contact with Bell. He should have been cautioned for it but it cost us a try.
At the very least Robertson's try should have been benefit of the doubt. You simply cannot say he touched the flag before he touched down. However, apply common sense - if the pole is not there would any part of him been physically outside the field of play before the touchdown?
With their last try Mannering was clearly offside and nside the 10. We have been disallowed tries (which cost us the Knights game) for having someone 9.5 metres away from the ball. Mannering was 1m away and obstructing a defender!
I'm glad I can point this out with a win under our belt as it is not a case of sour grapes. Really, what can be done to bring some decency to the officiating????????
