Our first wooden spoon

[Deleted member 24974]

Manly won the penalty count in only 5 matches this year, last in the competition. The next lowest was Parramatta winning 8 the penalty count in 8 matches.
Manly penalty count differential was the second worse receiving -34 penalties.

Manly's discipline was atricious this year.😡

So many dumb penalties given away to feed the ego, rather than for strategic defensive plays

Once the Coaches finish fighting, they may look at this in the Team 😕

Many tipped manly for the spoon this year.

The worst we could do was 6th.

Interesting that Melbourne had 3 more against than us!
Imagine if the refs didn't give scam smith the assistance 😉

Many of the penalties were probably justified.
But toddies whistle blowers were hard at work ignoring the ones we should've got !!

Exactly! They don't belong in this competition the way they play and get away with it.. It would be nice if they would be kicked out of the comp and relocate to the USA and be champions in the WWE! Scam would take out multiple titles in WrestleMania, Smack Down and Raw.. Given everything is scripted it is the only true competition they belong to and Scam would get all the accolades and testimonials he deserves.

I notice we get lots of first tackle penalties, and very few 4th or 5th tackle ones. Our opponents often get 5th tackle ones. It makes me fume.

 

[The Who]

Let's get the Bunker to check every penalty call and see if they are justified.
And why not? As some ironstines claimed prior to the introduction of Vidiots: "if we have the technology we should use it".

If we are to go further next year, this is something that has to be addressed. The overall discipline must improve, in the latter part of the season, the penalties conceded late in the tackle counts really hurt us in certain games. The current batch of referees is not going to do us any favours. You see it in their demeanour when they talk to DCE and you contrast that with how they talk to Scam Smith.

I think one of our biggest issues , the count goes against us because they get rattled and it just makes it worse!

But Mark, we have been coping poor penalty counts for years. Even though players and coaches change the bias doesn't.

Choc was always good to concede a couple a game, I thought Darcy had taken his place as King Of The Pot Plant Penalties. Fortunately he seemed to redeem himself.

This has been a real team effort.

Ably supported by Marty Tapau.
