McIlwain ruled to have bounced the ball in trying to ground it chasing his own kick. It looked like it could justifiably have been awarded as a benefit of the doubt try.

Asostasi - possibly gone for the year.
Tonga - doubt for the rest of the season
Myles - Doubt for the rest of the season.
Willie Mason - on report but there was nothing in it.

A lot of bumps and bruises and very littel to play for, though technically Manly could take their place in 2nd with three big wins and if they lost the lot - It aint gonna happen.

However - it is going to be tough for the Dogs.

 

[ChuckWood]

What a shame for the Bulldogs !!
(tears of joy)

Whatever happens they can't lose 2nd position on the table , but it certainly gives Manly a great opportunity to grab a victory next Friday & a top 4 spot.

Not a good week to have Hazem as my fantasy league kicker

 

[Canteen Worker]

I had the bye in Fantasy and traded Sonny Bill for Beaver. Good move by the looks of it.

Nice to see the dogs in trouble ahead of our clash, but no way was last night good news for us. Thanks to a pathetic display the Broncos picked up 30 pts in f/a, something that may be incredibly dangerous for us. I would rather the dogs won.

 

[Fluffy]

we are a very outside chance of making 2nd now , but we would have to win all 3 remaining, plus pick up a lot of f/a - if we can put 30+ on them next week it will be interesting.

I still would have prefered the dogs won, im just hoping they play like that next week
