Game Day: Knights v Manly [Round 5, 2019]

[Mark from Brisbane]

So Far So Good

The theory is working well, so far!!

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

How was that not ruled dead? You could clearly see the white come up from the dead ball line there.

Clearly on the line!!

 

[FlyingHigh]

What are the chances of some square up penalties? Hahahahaha

 

[Pablo]

Penalties are 7-2 against us.

Dictated by the scoreboard.
Notably they have run behind their own players on 4 or 5 occasions and not been penalised. We did it once. ... guess what? Penalised.

[Cameron]

The one big thing that is noticeable we loose some spark and go forward when Marty and AfB.

I challenge anyone to name a better starting pair of props in the game.

We build this side around them turbos and Daly

 

[HoldenV8]

Clearly on the line!!

The worst part was that the touch judge was about 2 or 3 metres away....at best. And he was looking directly at the play.

Seriously, if the refs were being impartial we'd be 30-0 up right now.

 

[mickqld]

Great effort so far but of course at 18-0 they get 7 penalties in a row. Wow the manipulation of results in this sport is just a farce. I expect more of the same bullsht in 2nd half. We are all over rhis mob but the canaries will bring them home. Turdy is determined not to see us succeed.

 

[Simonmyers11]

Dropped the intensity the last 20 mins when AFB, marty and api went off. Should be up by more than 12 points. Faniu has been a little poor with his service. Should of put the game to bed. Hope doesn't come back to bite us

 

[MANLY4LIFE]

I hope we dont clock off go on with it boys

 

[Beer buzzard]

Our bench players don’t strike much fear into defence

 

[mjb136]

7-2 penalties shows the refs are trying to level the game. We need to wrap the ball in the tackle, too many offloads have led to big metres.

 

[davohan123]

Is it just me or are the refs been given a clear message newcastle give as much help to them.
There is a clear ref bias tonight

 

[Ryan]

W T F is going on with these ****ing referees? Is this a gee up?

Knights are allowed to completely control the ruck speed.

They can apparently run shepherds without penalty, but with ours, which was very close, penalised.

Edrick Lee drops the ball, then it's out of play, it's play on?

It's bordering unprofessional.

 

[Pittwater Legend]

Benji Marshall just said now what I had said a little earlier. He had never seen a 40/20 kicked off a grubber before until DCE did it tonight. What a kick

You can see it now knights score 2 quick tries crowd and refs will be happy will are in for a tough 2nd half

Sipley was leveled by a swinging arm - no report, no penalty

 

[Fluffy]

some of those penalties were on negotiable eg Sirro taking off Pongas head

 

[The McCarrs Creek Eagle]

LOOK we know it's rigged let's just hope we can keep it together and come out on top despite the F@*K!*N Refs...

 

[davohan123]

What about sipley then and non penalty
