Game Day: Manly v Eels [Round 18, 2019]

[Shoe1]

Mate everyone there was pretty relaxed because the Eels were atrocious and we were totally walloping them. The final score wasn’t a true reflection. In fact, it wouldn’t surprise me to learn Des had instructed them to go easy.

True, except I can’t verify the des bit. I was relaxed all game (usually I am a stress head) even down 12-6, because manly were making ridiculous metres and scoring tries at will. We scored 11, and 7 weren’t disallowed. Not even counting the butchered try. Which was enough.

I only relaxed in the 2008 GF at 26-0 btw, so yesterday was a special day.

Watching the replay - at 22 mins Turbo plants a foot out of bounds and touches the ball to deem it 'out on full' and Manly get the scrum feed

Q: As Turbo was almost straddling the corner post, if he had put his right foot out behind the corner post and touched the ball - would Manly have had a 7 tackle 20m advantage ?

Didn't the Nein commentators mention something about if you do it in the in goal it's a drop out?

So it's a defender making it dead then, got it.

Turbo got it right and our scoring spree commenced

Yeah I'd say so.

He is someone who has great game awareness, I'm sure he had it all in control 😉

Ps was Jorge’s disallowed try really a forward pass? I couldn’t tell from the hill. The replay on big screen looked ok

No, I just replayed it a few times -19 minutes in.
Commentators questioned who called it as it looked like the lineswoman ran backwards prior to Jorge's catch, meaning that she deemed Turbo's perfect backwards pass forward 😎

1: Turbo clearly in front of line as he throws

2: Jorge jumps to catch, lineswoman in front of Jorge

3:Lineswoman retraced back to where she saw the forward pass, forgetting about the momentum of the backwards throw projecting the ball foward

One of the things I noticed on theTV was “somebody” screaming out “FORWARDS” on any passes of ours that looked remotely flat. This happened all the game, and the refs seemed to fall for this skullduggery with relative ease..

Just switched on the 2nd half and I think its a man poncing around on the east side

Apologies to them for the gender mix up but their call was still wrong
