Please explain

[Kiwi Eagle]

Will start off by saying I don’t blame the officials for the result, even though in 80mins the Sharks didn’t give away a set restart …

We must be getting in contact with the NRL asking for an explanation about that 10mins that Olakau’atu received. The bunker has gone back and found an infringement for high contact, deemed serious enough that he has to leave the park. The bunker also has a doctor that rules on players needing an HIA.

How does it come about that in the same bunker, they can send Olakau’atu off for forceful contact to the head but not send Tolman off the field for an assessment after the contact, it doesn’t correlate at all

Really? Not one set restart? I feel it's the standard for us and refs. That sin bin was ridiculous!

 

[mjb136]

Kiwi, there is absolutely no room for your logical thinking here, this is the NRL remember😉

 

[SeaEagle21]

We were our worst enemy but seriously how bad was Sutton and the bunker. Just compounded how bad we were.

 

[Yaz Eagle]

Nope not 1 and the sin bin was a joke if Tolman doesn’t even go for HIA.

 

[Waz13]

Disgusting imo. At the end the sharks were all over us. Was screaming “6 again!!!!” Nothin came. Just a joke. Actually happy with the fight back and glad that Harper got hooked. The future is Koula now.

 

[Cliffymagic]

On another day the 6 agains could have been 10 apiece. The inconsistency is farken ridiculous

Manly did get one in the second half.

 

[Mitch]

I’ve watched that tackle from Haumole 10 times or more and cannot see much wrong with it? Am I just looking at it with Maroon and White glasses or was there not much in it?

 

[Ron E. Gibbs]

Manly did get one in the second half.

I think it might have been a six again because of a Cronulla touch on the ball, Terry. Could be mistaken though!

 

[dowdz]

One! That has to be unheard of

Very similar to Jr Paulo and he still got a week.

We’re Manly not Penrith so it won’t be a fine.

The bunker knock on inconclusive was the biggest joke of the night. Sutton calls knock on standing 15 m away and in front. Then the bunker clown with a camera looking directly side on at it says inconclusive. So that means it's not a knock on yet goes with the on field clown decision and gives the ball to the guppies yet we keep the captains call. What a fuking farce. If the bunker couldn't see a knock on then IT FUKING WELL WASN'T YOU CLUELESS C**TS.

 

[KNUCKLES]

Can someone also explain to me why we were getting blown penalties when we were in the opposing half? I think 3 times from memory. Should they not be 6 agains?

The last 15 minutes was an absolute joke. We had all the momentum and they were holding us down every tackle. Yet nothing from the ref.

 

[The Who]

I keep the stats throughout a match.
Cronulla received five 6-agains; Manly none. The six-again mentioned earlier was through a Cronulla hand touching the ball, not a discretionary 6-again.
Manly won the penalties 6 to 5, but four of them were in the second half.
The ref didn't cost us the match; our left side backline non-defence did.
Cronulla won the match in the first 20 minutes of the match, proving that you can win, and lose, a match early doors.

The halfway line was even there as a reference point. It was a complete farce.

It was almost like they froze because someone finally challenged a knock on call that wasn't a knock on & didn't know what to do so backed the ref's decision & let us keep our challenge.

 

[robbiea]

That games on us and our struggle against top 4 teams.

 

[StuBoot]

When you look at a soccer ( A-League ffs ) telecast that can superimpose a horizontal line and use that to say yay or nay to a goal ( that can decide a game) because a player’s big toe/knee etc was onside or not why can’t the NRL do the same?
With the technology available l can’t believe that it’s not part of the bunker’s tools.
The bunker ruling tonight of an inconclusive knock on shouldn’t be subjective, the ball has either gone forward or it hasn’t - if it hasn’t gone forward then it’s not a knock on.

I get that the ref on the field has to make a call but the bunker shouldn’t sit on the fence when it’s tasked to make a call on something that is one of only two things -
Did it go forward or didn’t it?
