Cam Murray deservedly got Nine's MOM but did they really have to announce it and interview him whilst there's blood pouring down the side of his head - could he not get cleaned up first? Call me a prude but fair dinkum 😱

 

[Snake]

Can we put Robbo’s press conference in front of our Manly squad?

“hoping to snag a try off a shift instead of working hard for it.”

Pretty much sums up our attack this year.

Why oh why can't we get tonight's rooster's makes our performance last week even more depressing.

The one night I wanted roosters to turn up they didn't.

Well the pressure really now goes onto us now.

Averaging 9 points per game. Horrible. Des is all cool though.

I see the Roosters have been watching videos of Melb, and on how to wrestle and hold down the player just before the ref puts the whistle to his mouth. I often think if the refs had cracked down on the slimes gang wrestling/holding down tactics from the very first time they tried it, the game would be so much better than what we see now with all the interference going on at the play the balls.

@dowdz , and @chouncey

Penrith do it better than anyone atm

 

[jbb/james]

There are many basics like this that our attention to detail isnt where it probably needs to be

Is it off field, on field, or both. Is our prep good enough or does it all go in one ear and out the other

There appears to be no focus on tightening up in these areas currently , or last season really. We had some great moments to introduce some new options last season when we were on top and leading big, we partied instead of using game time to establish better habits. And thats us, our goals seem short in focus

The teams gameplan seems to be to out play them footy style without earning the right. Last year tom took the right regardless .

Wot was that at the SCG last night? If that happened in any other sport in Aust it would be headline news as a covid wave inducing public riot atrocity.

 

[simon64]

I'm getting sick to death of Cook throwing forward passes from dummy half under the guise of them being "flat".

He's lucky I'm not the ref. I'd ping him every time it wasn't obviously backwards. And I'd tell him straight out, "if I'm not sure it was backwards, I'll be blowing the whistle every time you cheating prick. Now, throw it backwards at 45 degrees or I'm going to penalise your team out of this game. Anything about that you don't understand ?"

Drives me nuts.

 

[Brissie Kid]

I see the serial roll-ballers are back now as well. So much for players getting pinged for not playing the ball properly. Referees also back to giving six again calls to tackled players walking off the mark.

It looks like Manly are a team coached to play footy with the ball in hand, passing and running. Most of the NRL's top teams are coached to win the ruck and milk the rules and a overrun a tired opposition. I know which method has more success in 2022.

Are you able to set up the ‘ignore’ button 24 hrs in advance?

Just sayin’

Did anybody catch Madge's post match comments about the disallowed W/Tigers try that was waved away instantly by the ref. Would of been the first try of the game. And to put the icing on the cake the W/Tigers lost by...4pts..yikes !!

Not sure if it would've been a try (grounding was suspect) but the ref definitely should've sent it up. He claimed it was grounded on the dead ball line and it definitely wasn't.

All the commentators on Fox thought it was a try, I thought the same also. All you need is fingertip pressure on the ball, and the replays tend to show this.

I didn't see the quote but did think it was super bizarre that they didn't even check on it.

Maybe the wests player needed to jump up and celebrate more (even though that shouldn't effect the ref's decision making but..........)

I'm guessing the 'vidiot ref' only gets involved if the ref awards a try?

I tend to agree but there was enough blurring on the freeze frame that if it was sent up no try the video ref may not of overturned it.

Video ref often changes a dropout to a 20m tap or vice versa but I don't think they had time to look at it closely enough as the tap was taken quite quickly. The VR should be able to ask the ref to delay the tap in instances like this.
