BJ being BJ,dumb penalty

[yeh raiders]

That zapping collar they put on dogs to stop them barking... wouldn’t look out of place on Joey Leilua sometimes.

Joey Leila with a classic dumb play! Sin bin.

[Thomas Raider]

BJ again

[Northern Raider]

Odds on BJ was going to the bin at some stage.

[yeh raiders]

McGuire is going to blow a fuse over that from Joey. As they said on the fox commentary... he just does things he doesn’t have to.

The ref didn’t even want to call him out, sent him to the bin via correspondence lol

Ivan blowing kisses?! I don’t think I’ve ever seen that in a rugby league broadcast.

[Botman]

Love Beej but that was the cheapest of cheap shots.

[Thomas Raider]

All happening greeneyed

This season has been the best rugby league I've seen in such a long time. Well done to Vlandy's. Every week has had 2 or 3 cracking games.

Yep 100%, this is the best season for a very long time and you’ve credited the right bloke.

[Dr Zaius]

Apparently it was Annesley's idea

How can we continue to believe the bunker is impartial after decisions like that?

You're allowed to go shoulder-to-shoulder sure but when someone gets very clearly a straight push to the back after kicking the ball how is that ruled to be play on

It was a clear penalty. Not that I like either side.

[gerg]

So who got sent off at the end? Was it Jake and AFB?

I don't think you can send anyone off after full time has already been called. However, one of them might be charged for bringing the game into disrepute. The callers on Fox said it was AFB... but I can only conclude one of them said something derogatory about the referees. I guess the referee could direct the player to leave the field of play, outside game time.

[Dr Zaius]

He called the ref a **** ****. Deserves some time on the sidelines.

[greeneyed]

We now have the audio. Addin Fonua-Blake, said the referee was a **** ****, bringing the integrity of the referee into question and using a slur against disabled people. The referee says he's sent Fonua-Blake off. I don't think he can, though. The game was over, and the MRC should now put him out for a long time.

Dogs really having a go against Souths. You can't question their effort. Hard to fathom why Pay's job is under threat.

[Makaveli]

They have a dig every game

Just have no points in them

Need some decent halves and speed out wide

In the stats on NRL.com it says two players were sent off, I went and checked Foxsports and it said Jake was also sent off.

OK, thanks. I'd love to see the rules on this. How do you get sent off when the game is over?

With the video ref.

Embarrassing blunder, very clear push in the back from Bradman Best.

[julian87]

Fonua Blake didn’t question their integrity he (in caveman speak) called them incompetent. It’s a horrific look but there’s actually a big difference there imo.

All that being said ...... it wouldn’t have happened if they made the very obvious correct call that would’ve given Manly a chance to draw the game after the siren.

When the NRL come out and say they made the wrong call today they’d be pretty brazen in punishing AFB at the same time.

It was a disgusting decision. This site would have imploded if that call happened against Canberra.
I thought Warren Smith’s take on it (and his recent commentary in general tbh) was horrible too.

[yeh raiders]

Warren Smith has gone mad or maybe I just haven’t been following his commentary closely enough.... he is calling Joey Leilua the worst signing in the modern era.

Honestly, that’s the kind of comment you expect to read on Facebook from some pimple-faced, red-bull drinking teenager.

[-TW-]

His Twitter rants have been a bit deranged lately
