Re: 2019 Rd 7 V Sea Eagles: Game Day
Cotric pass off the ground was the correct call by the referees. Whether Manly was on side was another issue all together.
I’m pretty sure that’s what Cotric was complaining about.

Re: Williams or Sezer
I want to give Williams another opportunity next week. But I did think Sam caused a couple of line breaks with poor defensive reads and missed tackles. But he wasn’t alone today.
He’s not getting himself in the right attacking areas either.
Deserves another shot to return to his best.

Dunamis Lui again with zero errors for the game and the entire season so far, and just 1 more missed tackle to add to his very safe season.
Havilli also very good off the bench.

2019 NRL Round 6 - Teams and Game Day
Great game of football. The refs made some poor calls, but I also thought the refs had to make so many difficult decisions all night. Very tough game to adjudicate.
Both teams really push the skills, speed, game play and rules, right to the limit for 80 minutes plus.
