No surprise there. Cummins would have had to blow the offside penalty. He didn't make one decision Manly's way all game. Only went back for the penalty because the bunker intervened.

Let’s all have a chew!
Watched the Kayo mini and if dce goes out the back to turbo we had a 3 on 1 and score. Tom was filthy. I thought when it happened we should have taken the 2
Yep, but taking the two was stupid but DCE murdering that overlap was even worse. He really does not take the right option terribly much. If he wasn’t such a great field goal kicker, he would be the least clutch halfback ever.

Sorry, not cool, under no circumstances can we condone this behavior or violence.

Please, Cummins was nowhere NEAR the reason we lost. I love Marty (he's one of my favourites) but his spill of the ball, then subsequent try against, and Keppies early penalty, and subsequent try against, plus our diabolical defense has lead us to our 4th loss in 5 games.
If it weren't for Turbos VERY unfortunate injury and everyone (in my opinion Ill directed blame at Cummins / The Bunker), Des Haslers coaching would well and truly be under the spotlight with our 4th loss in 5 games (and inability to beat one top 8 team this season, or top 4 team in the 2.5 years prior).
That said, the season is on ice. We are done. Time to blood Weekes, Tuitavake, GCT, Humphreys and others. There is 0 value fielding the same old plods now this season.
We really need Schuster getting fit. He is so unfit, it's affected his ability to even run.
Lastly, our recruitment / retention needs an overhaul. Top to bottom. Lean, big, mobile and fast is the order of the day. This passive hold and slide defense is out of date - hence the 25-35 points against most weeks.

Our players don’t help mate. Would be 7-4 without keppie and Harper.
Agree with the majority of your post, but you lost me with the "Cummins was nowhere near the reason we lost" are you serious, or just want to get a rise out of the people on here. ok..what did you think of the Tui penalty for the high shot, but in reality it was a low down try saving tackle. That's where we lost the game. Got put on report then dismissed by the review panel...mmm.
Couldn't disagree more. Yes we made mistakes, but I thought our defence was actually pretty stoic for a change. They had a lot of ball on our line for the final 10 mins and they only managed to score in the last minute or two. And even then we only had 12 players on the field. So I can't agree our defensive effort wasn't up to scratch or 'diabolical'.

I didn't think it was a penalty.
But why were we down there in our own try line at that time of the game ? Ill discipline, and allowing the Eels to get in a roll with passive hold defense.
We can cherry pick certain instances in the game all we like. End of the day, we lost, and we should have been MUCH better.
Tuipulotu got ran around twice because of the hold / compress / slide defense. Tuipulotu is a decent defender. It's the structures / system.
Blaming any or all of our losses on a referee is desperate to me. As Des and DCE said after the game (and I agree), we need to be better.

Did you see them score 3 tries out wide (when we were full strength) because the marking was off given the compress / slide defensive structures?
And it's happening every week. But our structures aren't changing.
That defense inspires centres / wingers to rush up, creating holes and space.
You see that, right ? It's the same thing every week.

I noticed that too with the presser. Most of the journos didn't care less about the match, it was all about Tom and the blow to NSW.....even the match reports were about 85% on Tom's injury and the rest on the game, with very little to say about the performance of Cummins.

Against only 12 players after the Moses sin-bin, I'd have gone for the try as well. You'd find most NRL teams would go for the try in that situation.

What really sucks about all of this is that everyone can see the blatant cheating from Cummins, all my mates who follow other teams can even see it, and we should have won that match. But we’ll never get it back
That really ****in sucks!!

Exactly. The Monday morning "apology" from Annesley about referees getting it wrong over the weekend mean absolutely nothing because it doesn't change the results, even if a referee howler directly affects the results.
And we got that penalty v Newcastle in the dying minutes, from memory.
Cummins is absolutely the worst....and it's a very hot field.
