Wow Trent Merrin would be so stoked a stupid offload nearly cost them The game.

 

[Sir Chadley]

Very nice to see Manly get beaten.

Two disallowed tries for them, one controversial one given against them.

Justice.

 

[CrazyMatt]

3 cracking games so far. Hopefully our game won't be the dud.

I won't mind if it's a dud mate, especially if we've won by 30.

I hope it's a dud where we win 28-10. Sounds boring as

I must be missing something, I am watching this peachy try over and over and not once did I think it touched his hand. Well atleast there was no sufficient evidence to say he did. Manly blowing up but I agree with the call, it was a try.

But there has to be one blowout game this weekend. May as well be ours!!

I think there was a hand in there but the only angle that i think would have been conclusive, marty taupau is in front of the ball at the time. As far as the video ref goes, its a try. Was called a try, no angle confirms he does touch it. So its a try.

 

[HaroldBishop]

Manly. **** 'em.

Spewing Melbourne won, would have been a great few results otherwise.

 

[Mr Ryan]

I hate the whole sending it up as try/no try.

The way I see it - if the video ref would of simply said knock-on no try - would anybody be complaining this morning?

Exactly right.

But honestly, are these the best cameras we can get? Slow it down it more pixelated than japanese porn. Why cant we use better cameras that offer a better frame rate. So many decisions decided because of insufficient evidence, which is created cos of blurring

They keep telling us that the bunker have different shots than us TV hacks.

I still wish that they'd implemented a proper bunker where the decision makers were unaware of what the scores were in the game etc. Would help to dispel any conspiracy theories as well.

Every try goes to the bunker, they would know roughly the score haha

Haha true.

I'd be happy with half speed try replays , no freeze frame , except offside .
So the game was adjudicated like a park game .
If the ref reckons its a try and no definite evidence to say different then it's a try .
ONLY howlers to get overturned .

Poor Baz , no mention of the fact the best team won .

[Western Sharkie]

Did anyone see the footage of Cameron King untieing Cameron Smith's shoelace in the scrum last night!
Brilliant!

In the Fox Sports NRL's video section titles "Cheeky scrum prank on Smith".
I'd try to load a direct link but don't know how too!

So they blame the refs for the loss on what was a call that coulda gone either way, and relied on grainy footage. Had they disallowed ot and manly win, you only end up with panthers fans crying about the refs. As has been for so long, advantage went the attacking sides way. Manly fans are blowing up about the uate no try, clear as day knock on

Few years back The with the hand of Foran they progressed. All the talk was ya win some ya lose some. They had there chances with some dubious calls as well. Also Uate butchered a certain 4 pointer.

 

[BurgoShark]

Ditto for Eels fans. They got a few did calls and I reckon that Curtis Scott call was forward, but they got at least four very bad calls go their way over the last month to help them in to the top four. They weren't complaining when they beat the bunnies with a 2m forward pass or when Semi knocked it on 3 times and still got the green light.

 

[Thresher]

With the Storm though, Cam and Slater seem to have a dedicated phone line to the refs during a game.
