Game Day: Panthers V Manly [Round 8, 2025]

[Dee Why Eagle]

OK, who are you and what have you done with the REAL The Royal Soup??

Beat me to it

 

[Dan]

She's seriously taking the piss right?

 

[HoldenV8]

Thankfully Turbo only cramped there.

 

[HK_Eagle]

And Turbo is down

TF only cramp

 

[MANLY4LIFE]

Oh look tom went down again lol

 

[JenEagle]

I’ve never seen a ref performance like this in 45 years

 

[andyvb]

Was it only a cramp?

 

[HK_Eagle]

Belinda fkiiinnnggg Sharpe. You are an embarrassment tonight

 

[JBW]

Sorry, but she is not a first grade ref...

 

[Captain Moondog]

**** you Jerkins

 

[MANLY4LIFE]

Foot on the bloody line our ball we need refs in the com box these muppets on the field have no idea

 

[JenEagle]

Is this a record for captain challenges . I’ve never seen a worse and more one sided performance from a ref (except the 2013 gf)

 

[Dee Why Eagle]

short my arse!

 

[Ashton Davis]

Good win. Shame about the dud refereeing that helped get the Panthers on the board. We were in control before that

 

[bob dylan]

Is this referee serious, she is a joke.

But she always has been.

 

[HK_Eagle]

I thought Belinda was actually OK first half... or perhaps because everything was going our way I missed her poor calls. This second half she has just lost it.

 

[Fibro Eagle]

A good win for Manly
But a bizarre game of officiating

 

[WAMF]

Good win. Shame about the dud refereeing that helped get the Panthers on the board. We were in control before that

It's so obviously an unwritten rule among NRL officialdom that if there's a possibility of playing a team back into the game, take it no matter how dodgy it looks.

 

[Captain Moondog]

I'm quietly confident.

Never in doubt.

 

[HoldenV8]

We've won which is great ... but once again we've done nothing to dispel the One Man Band theory.

Turbo's back, Manly win.
