Re: 2019 Rd 23 V Sea Eagles: Game Day
We were totally dudded in that game. I don’t believe the best team won today. For that reason as annoying and disappointing as that result is, it isn’t like we were beaten by a better team. I have no doubts we get them if we meet them in finals. I am concerned about BJ. His discipline is terrible and will cost us. I’m also worried about our wingers - Raps showed glimpses but Cotric was poor.
There were some positives there tonight- Wighton massive!

A legitimate 12 point swing with the Wighton 'no try' suddenly reversing years of precedent for maintaining possession while grounding the ball and then Manly getting themselves back in the game with an intercept after being about 5-6 metres offside.

I don’t blame the attitude.
I put the blame squarely on the ref and BJ.
What a dumb player. Brainless.

If the game was refereed decently we would have taken the chocolates I am sure. Abominable performance from the referees.Roger Kenworthy wrote: ↑August 25, 2019, 5:59 pm Pretty much a repeat of our first match. They were allowed to spoil all match long. Send someone to the bin in the first half when either team kept offending and that game is a lot more controlled.
Having said this, our record at home is pretty crap against the better sides and we are now in an absolute dogfight to hold onto 3rd spot, the Sharks next week is going to be very difficult.

The Manly trainer did what the Roosters trainer repeatedly did. That stopping of the game for the Boyle 'injury' was blatant cheating. Just as the Roosters cheated with that tactic 2 weeks ago.

I don't see it happening though. Both times we've played them the refs have hammered them with penalties early, but no sin bin.Azza wrote: ↑August 25, 2019, 6:01 pm Very disappointing - the way that game was refereed and the stop start nature fell right into Manly's hands. If we play them again and actually have a decent flowing game we would beat them 100% confident, but we got drawn into their crap and still almost pulled it out of the fire.
Manly are rapidly becoming my second most disliked team after the Sharks for the spoiling style of football they play. But we need to be smart enough to overcome it.
Then the refs realise they need to level up the penalties so they can use spoiler tactics with far more leeway.
The secret is the bin but we're not a glamour club so it has to be blatant for that to occur.

Re: 2019 Rd 23 V Sea Eagles: Game Day
I am furious off of that. Jack’s ‘no try’ has been given 100 times this year and their last try was off the back of the most non-penalty penalty all night.
Get ****. What a joke.

The spiral of silence refers to the idea that when people fail to speak, the price of speaking rises. As the price to speak rises, still fewer speak out, which further causes the price to rise, so that fewer people yet will speak out, until a whole culture or nation is silenced. This is what happened in Germany.
If you do not speak, you are not being neutral, but are contributing to the success of the thing you refuse to name and condemn.

Re: 2019 Rd 23 V Sea Eagles: Game Day
anyways we copped a few bad calls i reckon. I am not one for blaming the refs but why didn't they just take like a second to clear the onside off the intercept ? that was an 8 point difference.

Stopping play to let the guy who made the high tackle go off for an hia when we are full of momentum and on the break was astoundingly poor officiating, Manly absolutely worked the refs over all game

Croker kicking undoes us once again. He slots over that relatively straight forward conversion and we have all the possession in last few mins. Received multiple pens and even game or Manly are forced to not give away a pen and opportunities aplenty would arise
Re: 2019 Rd 23 V Sea Eagles: Game Day
pfftttt
Was always gonna happen... we simply dont beat manly. Anyone who thought we would win today needs a reality check, we have a winning record of 38% against them for gods sake....
We are still flat track bullies. In saying that though the refs really screwed us hard today, fancy Ashley Klown ruling no try on Jack Wightons obvious try.

Re: 2019 Rd 23 V Sea Eagles: Game Day
Both of manlys tries come from unexcusable calls, a blatant offside Intercept and a offload that was called a strip. How can the NRL defend this? I'm lost for words.

Re: 2019 Rd 23 V Sea Eagles: Game Day
There were a lot of things that happened in that game that didn’t help but that loss is on our heads. We turned the ball over way too cheaply, way too many times. We weren’t patient in attack and didn’t build pressure.
We went away from everything that has been working for us and played incredibly dumb.
Our defence kept us in the game but we were terrible with the ball and the was the main difference.

Re: 2019 Rd 23 V Sea Eagles: Game Day
I don't disagree. In the last 10 minutes we started to show what we are capable of in attack, a lot more than Manly did - but by then it was too late. In my opinion we got sucked into Manly's niggle and it is still a glaring weakness for this team - happened against the Sharks in that big final in 2016.pickles wrote: ↑August 25, 2019, 6:09 pm There were a lot of things that happened in that game that didn’t help but that loss is on our heads.

There has to come a point where he either gets relieved from his duties or has the tee taken from him when the conversion is to the left of the posts.

Well that game hasn’t dented my confidence in the team going deep into the finals.
Unfortunately the way it was referred just doesn’t suit our style of play and I can’t see it being referred that way come September.
