Watching the highlights because I missed the game:

Crichton try should have been a short ball and the 2nd Rower is away. Piakura and Riki eat that up all day.

Turuva try should have been an obstruction. The Penrith player moves into a blocking position to allow Turuva space to run through. Looked planned, actually.

Why was Manly playing Rugby Union and kicking back? So weird.
Same as when they were terrible at numbering up on Crichton's second try. Who is coaching defense?

Wtf was the story with all the knock-ons you lot were on about?

Manly looked shot at the end. Was it really a leg-up game from the refs?

Manly have nobody but themselves to blame. After the Garrick kick they just came up with mistake after mistake and half their team looked out of their depth.

Still, Sutton was very generous towards Penrith in the ruck and gave them far more leeway than the Panthers. The Panthers try right on half-time also looked incredibly dodgy.

That try before half time.

Knock on, pass off the ground, knock on, forward pass. Take your pick. Embarrassing from the NRL's most experienced ref.

I don't understand this part. Did you mean more leeway than Manly? Or generous towards Manly?

Penrith received more leeway in the ruck. There were a lot of tackles where the tackle had been complete, only for the defender blatantly re-grip on the ground and deny Manly any momentum in the ruck.

It's funny how Penrith fans go on about Brisbane only leaving Queensland a handful of times. Brisbane have seven games outside of Queensland on their draw.

Guess how many games Penrith have had outside of NSW?

Seven.

Two more than last year.

That's including Canberra which is less than 300km away.

But sure, Brisbane to Townsville is only a stone's throw away...

We want another Queensland side, but we don't want the Broncos to have more games in Queensland!!

1. Walsh (Broncos)
2. Watene-Zelezniak (Warriors)
3. Staggs (Broncos)
4. Crichton (Panthers)
5. Isaako (Dolphins)
6. Dearden (Cowboys)
7. Johnson (Warriors)
8. Haas (Broncos)
9. Koraisau (Tigers)
10. Fonua-Blake (Warriors)
11. Fifita (Titans)
12. Martin (Panthers)
13. Carrigan (Broncos)

14. Walker (Warriors)
15. Burgess (Rabbitohs)
16. Sorensen (Panthers)
17. ??

Not to mention the third man flop all night that was never pinged.

Flegler gets called twice a game for what they did all night.

The 1-5 are bang on for mine, although Edwards unlucky. 6 is tough mainly because Munster and Walker have both been below par whereas Dearden has been pretty consistent. 7 bang on as well. I think you could make a serious argument for Egan in the 9 tbh. It's great that it's not so clear cut this year. No room for Tino or Mo?

Yeah all fair arguments. My bench is actually bench players most weeks but if you wanted your bench to be four starters then yep, Tino 100% is in there. Mo is also under discussion for sure. And for 9 yep, you could even add Robson and honestly, Walters too into that discussion.

This deserves its own thread.

I'd have Herbie before Kotoni and Tago before Crichton. Graham, Timoko, Val, Gagai, Best would also be in the mix.

I'd find room for one of the Panthers back three as well. They're just so crucial to their team with Turuva especially being another break-out player.

The only player I vehemently disagree with is Koroisau. Even though Grant has been inconsistent, he's been a crucial part of Melbourne's success. Whereas Koroisau took ages to get going, had a handful of good games, got his jaw shattered and has only just started playing. Api has been good on return, but he's still in a wooden spoon side. I'd take Grant, Egan, Marshall-King, Robson and Cook over him.

**** me the tits are terrible

Who thought it was a good idea for the Titans and the Sharks to wear similar colours?

I'd have ?? > Burgess too just quietly. The Dally M only recongises one interchange player and I think Walker is a decent shout. That's coming from somebody who hasn't really rated him since he won a premiership.

Its been a good season to have so many under consideration and all your points are totally valid. On the back three, who would you be taking our of my side to bring in one of the Panthers back three? They are all excellent but I just don't see any of them replacing who is there.

surprised they can count to seven tbh, maybe they can't and that's the problem? would explain quite a lot

Lol knocked back from Tino.

**** off.

 

[BroncosHQ.com]

Stupid from Hynes

 

[BroncosHQ.com]

That has to be an obstruction anyway.

Someone tell Dan Ginnane that’s not how you determine a forward pass.
