Worst call in rugby league history ??

[Dee Why Eagle]

Actually spoke with a NRL person today and the decision (scrum) was supposed to go the Raiders. Evidently the moment the charge down occurred the attacking team was the Raiders. The charge down is an attacking move. Similar to hitting a ref, attacker gets the scrum.

I don't know the rules, but that certainly sounds logical

Just don't tell my wife, she thinks I'm insane. Well she probably right. maybe half right, we did marry each other.

My care factor stopped after the officials took any opportunity away from us against souffs

The calls in that game were more diabolical than anything dished up since and no one defended us to any extent other than to say the rules are the rules

Jake grabbed his jumper and the ref had no choice
Blah blah farking blah

Poor Sam getting victimised

GI retiring and losing a champion and doing it for Greg - spew spew spew
Well fark him too

And while we are at it
Fark Wayne and his dressing room dance
Wake up to yourself
Your era has gone you old tool


Poor Ricky
Poor raiders
They achieved so much and were unlucky
Well fark them three

We achieved more this year under more adversity than any of them put together

A win against the rabbits would have put ourselves up Against the raiders and a huge chance in the GF

I kept thinking of Addin and Marty and how pumped for a GF they would have dominated both sides last weekend and how Fainu would have found metres in the ruck

I can see us getting to the roosters

Anyway
Point being
East’s got it
Raiders couldn’t get it
We should have got a chance to get it

This is go manly signing off for the off season

Will. Report back though on a planned dinner and drinks at Choc’s joint with the boys coming up

Go Manly so proud of the fans and players this year

Up an at em in 2020

Fantastic farewell for the season post , also as funny as all buggery!!

Loved it

I wondered the same think at the time it happened but then I thought you probably have to be in control of the ball to be deemed in "attack". So I figured a chargedown even though it may be a deliberate action can't be deemed in control of the ball. But I'd love to know the actual definition by the laws of the game on that one.

IMO, a much worse GF refereeing blunder was the non action taken after MacDougall stomped on Toovey's face at 45:00 in the 1997 GF. Should have been an immediate send off. With 12 men & 35 minutes to go, extremely unlikely Knights would have won. 'We waz robbed'. Have a look
