NON Manly games [Round 9, 2020]

[Mark from Brisbane]

Can't call it yet, not even half way through season. Parra could lose gutho and Moses to ACL next week?

First got to get to finals with form, full strength side and then some luck go your way (although we know the NRL favourite teams)

Don’t think you can win unless you are a fav, it’ll come from Drizzle ( the Scam farewell ), the Eels ( 36 ****ing long years ) or the Rorters ( everyone would love a three peat wouldn’t they ??).

 

[47MVEagle]

Voss said 7 penalties in a row for the Storm while Canberra hadn't received a penalty since the 17th minute.

I can't believe how blatant the favouritism is.

 

[Terry Zarsoff]

Cam challenges - his latest haircut unsuccessful.

 

[Rackets]

Im hoping if we're no chance of winning it this year, that the warriors get home sick and leave weeks before the finals and the competition stops. That should leave the slime filthy and thinking they would've gone all the way.... lol

 

[StuBoot]

I can’t believe that knock on call against Scam.
How can it be a knockon if the ball goes backwards?
You could see it rolling back.

 

[40 years an eagle]

Looking forward to Sticky's presser.

 

[Simonmyers11]

Canberra worry Melbourne
Some better refs calls they win tonight

 

[wedgetail eagle]

I’ll gather the grandkids around & tell them,
“yep, back in ‘20 it was,
the referee went against the wishes of Cameron Smith...”

 

[40 years an eagle]

Raiders have 5 day turnaround to play the Sombreros.😵

 

[HK_Eagle]

Have we all noticed the latest Bellamy tactic of having his players "accidentally" laying in the ruck when the opposition get on a roll?

 

[Scorpio]

Our coach is too scared to say how it is in the presser, so I'm hoping sticky absolutely gives it to the refs and bunker. They're getting worse each week with their no idea decisions.

Don't you remember Todd Greenberg essentially banning coaches from criticising referees in their press conferences, following the 2017 finals?

The last fines that were handed out were $20-30k each.

That is why coaches don't do it anymore.

I agreed with you. But I’m not happy to what I agreed with.😱

March 3 2015
The NRL has banned coaches from publicly criticising refereeing performances
Coaches complaining about refereeing performances will be a thing of the past after the NRL banned coaches from publicly criticising the whistleblowers.

 

[HK_Eagle]

Imagine if Tommy Turbo was as resilient as Scam. I'm guessing off the cuff that in the modern game if you find a super boring, but talented hooker and build around him you increase your chances of success. The flashy Turbos are always susceptible to injury, its the nature of their mechanics and engagement in the game? They are essentially cream on top

 

[wombatgc]

Haha my friend are you drunk or under the influence of some kind of narcotic or marijuana? Must be some good sheeeit

God I wish I had any or all of those three atm.
The only good thing that happened in all three games today/night is the young Forbes boy for Penrith getting four on his debut, in front of his pissed country mates.
I was watching them woop it up at the end, all with cans of piss, and thought/hope, no one is going to be driving. Back to Panthers and run amok for the night.

The Turd is gone and with him the rest of his nonsense rules. I'm not saying to bag the "cheating" refs but the on field ref should be making the decisions and the bunker should only review tries that go to them.

Good on sticky for mentioning the Manly error last week.

No. I’m more than happy for coaches to be able to call out cheating refs. Their Teflon coated as it is.

 

[SeaEagle21]

Ricky called it out for what it was, wrong today as it was for Manly but they'll be back in the box next week. What is the point of all the camera angles etc when it's as plain as day that both players only had eyes for the ball and collided.

 

[Jerry1]

Did I just hear the bulldogs were looking at Trent Barrett for coach... lol.
