a) he had already attempted before his leg was touched (and is that fouled?)

You do realise Walsh got binned, yeah?
So, not legal.

Should have been sent off along with Carrigan

I'll never believe that the ball was tipped forward for that final 'try'. At least 50% of viewers would agree with me. When it's that close, surely it goes with the onfield decision rather than the fanciful opinion of someone looking at a screen, just like the rest of us.

1,000% ......

He was fouled.

You cant touch the kickers legs anymore.

It was worse than the Brooks one (which was a slight tap) and the Storm player was binned.

Thanks for that. Never heard of it, or seen it, till now.

Josh Aoili got penalised on Shaun Johnson v Warriors to have them tie a game last year in exactly the same manner

This guys a lunatic and I love it hahaha

Wish our coach had a tenth of that sort of passion.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

The big question is

Do they suspend Walsh / Carrigan

I bet they don’t , but “ potentially “ both are suspension incidents.

I understand a penalty, although even that is weak, but did Aloai cause a penalty 10 m out, right in front?

It was either 10m out, or where the ball landed, which was right in front anyway, cant remember exactly.

In Walsh's case, the ball was charged down, so no landing spot.
Refer back to rule (a).

Yep, thanks again.

 

[Tragic Eagle]

Very poor refereeing on and off the field. The standard is rock bottom.

 

[Super Coach Eagle]

Cards falling the way of Penrith to get into another GF.

They will account for the Dogs easily.

Reckon they will fancy there chances at Suncorp against Brisbane.

Who face a big decision on Adam Reynolds and what they do with the spine.

Walsh has been more dangerous since Hunt went to 7 but doesn't exactly give you confidence.

Bringing in a half from the cold after 6 weeks out for a Prelim final when they havent lost a game since they went down is a big decision

 

[manly al]

Just going on the highlights package , Broncs scoring much better structured and team tries
Defensively , could have been fairly even but not sure there
Looks like the Broncs have got lucky this year with some low budget outside backs who are more then capable of stepping up , Mam , Cobo and Renyolds not even playing of course and another big and regular forward missing also ?
And to think that Manly have given both a touch up at different stages this year
Thought that the Roosters could have been a danger side but got that one a bit wrong
If Metcalfe and Barnett were available for the Warriors now and without a couple of dodgy calls , Panthers could well have been also runs from this weekend
Could well be Storm - Broncs G .F . if Hughes can be available though guess can not underestimate the Raiders to bounce back
Can "t right off the Sharks , Panthers and Dogs to go a bit further but can "t see either making the Big One

The Brisbane River Stincos are really into copying Manly’s on and off-field outfits.
