Walker post game...

While we missed Tafua's strong runs tonight the fact that Mathew Wright slotted two goals from the sidelines with a wet ball won us the match. Strange twist, but from adversity can come opportunity.

I admire Tafua's Tenacious runs but can you imagine his ball control on wet conditions ?

I'm sure had it been their team awarded the Try, they would've informed the Referee to overturn the decision forthwith. (Yeah,right)

How about the 2014 semi final in golden point vs Dogs where Manly weren't given a penalty goal in front of the posts for Josh Reynolds being 5m offside? There was never any doubt on replay that Manly were owed a penalty & would have won the game right there and then. Not like tonight's game at all in comparison. Dogs eventually went on to the grand final on that rubbish play.

Last week when Croker moved the kick in closer to the posts actually reminded me of this match, because the opposite happened to Manly. You may recall we were down 16-0 but came back to be 16-all. The try to equalise was scored by Cheyse Blair about 10m in from touch. A "melee" followed the try and for some unknown reason Lyon was made to take the kick from virtually on the touch line. He missed, and following a field goal each, (theirs after the infamous "kick the ball at the ref"play), they then kicked a field goal in golden point to win. So, in reality, even though Manly were pretty much "busted" by that stage, they could have knocked the Bulldogs out then and there, if the conversion had been taken in the correct position.

They're all pointing the finger at Manly & Uate.

Milford knocks-on from a poor pass, regathering to kick a FG to win them the game.

Was very happy to get the win tonight, well done to the boys for their efforts.

The officiating was just dismal, unbelievable really.

The Knights did not get a 40/20, clear as day from where I sat in the pouring rain. This led to a gifted penalty and then two points to them. And this was just the start……!

It was so frustrating to watch the preferential treatment given to Drugcastle on numerous occasions all throughout the game. And if anyone wants to look at the entire game frame by frame, it will clearly show that the opposition were helped rather than hindered.

Anyway we got the two points and we deserved it.

Also I was not expecting the players to do a lap after the game as it was still raining and they had a presentation straight after the game as well. And heaps of people took off. But special mentions to Uate and Chez

Uate went around the ground after to meet the fans which was really appreciated, thanks Akuila.

And after the Malcolm Reilly Challenge Trophy presentation, Chez was the only other player to go around. He spent about 15 minutes to do this as he stopped for numerous pictures too. Chez is a legend and if anyone can pass on a message somehow to him. Tell him this meant a lot to the young kid beside me and well to me as well and to a lot of other fans no doubt. I could only imagine that he would have been looking forward to a hot shower but chose to meet the fans. Thanks Chez….!

The referees continue to baffle us all. Not using the technology which should be for every try scored and missing forward passes in every game. In my opinion the mistake to allow Uates second try would have altered the pattern of the game. At that time the Knights were still behind and not really threatening Manly. Manly did not play very smart tonight. In the last 10 minutes we should have ensured that there was no way out for the Knights. We invited them back into the contest through our own errors.

 

[USA Rugby League Fan]

After our win you can sleep well now feathered friend

Thanks! The ass doesn't drag as much after the DUB. Those last 10 minutes I nearly shat meself.

 

[HappilyManly]

The Refs were on par with the Weather Bureau.

Just noticed in the Stats at the top, that the prediction was for 'Light Rain'

(FYI the first post of the GAME DAY has the complete game summary)

He has the third LEAST errors for wingers in 2017. Credit where it's due.

 

[Kiwi Eagle]

What's the tactic with using one interchange for just 12 minutes and the other not at all?
Having Poo is a complete waste. We need another forward instead of him - Lussick presumably.

Would guess it is all about contingencies, Brown there predominantly as a reserve back rower, but if Walker or Kelly went down at any time of the game he is an adequate backup to fill in at centre, something you lose if a Lussick or Lane type are on the pine

hahaha they forget all the rubbish calls in the game to give the Knights a leg up. As usual the officiating in the nrl is a joke ffs they are Terrible. justice that try was. people crying how knights were robbed need a slap to the face we were never gonna lose that game and bombed 3 more tries at least.

Uate insisted he should have been awarded both tries, including the matchwinner. “I knew I couldn’t get to the ball so I just went up for a contest. He touched it first, so I scored that try,” he said of the first incident. “I don’t think it was a knock-on, the next one I scored. It looks loose, but I still had my hands on the ball. It was a try. I don’t know what they’re talking about.”

Deny, deny, deny

first thing I thought when he dropped it. Jorge is a sure thing in those circumstances he's really gonna be missed he's so powerful. we should resign him for 2 years as he's proved he is an asset and we can't let parra buy him which they will and ruin his career
