**** i hate Manly, wish the entire team would just go and fall in a hole.

Lol, nah.

 

[Johnners]

nah they should, nobody likes them, so there's really no point them being in the NRL.

NRL would be boring if there wasn't a team to hate...

I don't mind them. I can't see why so many people don't like them.

That's what the Roosters are there for IMO.

That's what the Roosters are there for IMO.

There is too many bangwagon fans in Sydney that love the Roosters when they win a couple matches in a row.

 

[NUFAN]

Brett Stewart was awesome today. I don't mind Manly much tbh.

Boy. Did Brisbane need that win. Didn't watch it, but heard most of the first half on the radio. From what the commentators were saying our forwards had a great time of it and Perry didn't have that bad of a game.

The video ref - where's the happy medium?

Russell Smith took 4 moinutes to decide on a try yesterday - ridiculous.

Then Ben Smith gets called for a knock-on when the ball hits his legs - should have been a line drop out, instead Manly get a scrum feed. Video ref can't rule on it, as it's not an adjudication on a try.

Where's the happy medium?

Likewise - in the set just before Lyon's second try, Hindmarsh pinged for a knock-on from Orford's kick - and he did knock it on, but only after Cuthbertson spilt the ball into Hindmarsh first, which is itself a knock-on and shold have been a Parra feed.

The video ref used to look at these things then they canned it, probably because it took too long. Should the video ref be brought back into it?

Personally, I think it's more important to get it right, and it only happens a couple of times per game anyway. I'd like to see the video ref look at those things, because there's a stoppage in play anyway, so it's not likely to slow the game down.

As for yesterday, that Manly-Parra game was a cracker imo. Quality stuff,




........even if the wrong side lost.

Hollywood Harrigan is a gun video referee - takes one look at it and gives an answer (which is invariably correct) within about 30 seconds. He doesn't try to see things that aren't there, by taking 1000 looks at it.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Speaking of who'll play at fullback for NSW next year, anyone forgetting a certain Roosters fullback.

 

[Burgey]

Can't forget Mini at all, whether he'll get back after 2 back operations, though, might be a real issue.

In light of those injuries, I wonder whether he might pull the pin on his rep career.

 

[Dr_Brad]

Expecting a great game from the Tigers tonight i believe they'll win

Tigers 34 - Nth QLD 18

 

[chaminda_00]

Hmm another match where one team turned up and another forgot they had to play tonight. Nice to see Benji back though, especially with so little play markers in the game ATM.

 

[howardj]

Yeah, a soul-less Cowboys effort.

 

[Burgey]

AWTA - very disappointing, but the Tigers are such a good side to watch when they play well, imo the most entertaining side in the NRL.

If they can keep marshall, Morris, Farah and Hodgson fit, they'll storm into the 8 and be a nightmare side to play in the finals.

 

[Dr_Brad]

Great Game from the Tigers i think they'll start winning a lot of games now

Does anyone know when Lafranci goes to court ?

 

[Craig]

I miss the NRL.

Watch It Here Pretty sure you can.
