The thought of Brandy commentating next week's game has assured that I'll be attending.

Delicious irony of Manly losing by a torso try

I thought the call was fine. On one of the side on camera angles it looked like the ball clearly missed his hand after it hit his knee.

The side angle didn't look as bad as the front on, but the front on showed it brushed one of his fingers.
Joke of a decision.

On field ref gave it a try. No conclusive evidence to overturn it. The right call was made by the Bunker.

Maybe I have shitty vision, but I couldn't be 100% sure. I'd call it a knock on, but I wouldn't be able to find sufficient evidence to overturn it.

I love seeing decisions like that going against clubs like Manly, Roosters, Storm and Cowboys though, not going to lie.

If the Tautau Moga call against Rabbitohs wasn't conclusive, that sure as shit wasn't.

The wrong call was made by Sutton.
I hate this system where we just pass the buck.
"Oh there wasn't proof beyond a reasonable doubt, therefore the referees must be right"
Wrong, Sutton guessed and got it wrong.

I do hope Sutton gets a lot of shit for it. Fucking worst referee, and he seems to have something against us too.

It probably did brush his fingers but impossible to detect with the naked eye. Only Peachey would know, I guess.

It looked like a try live. Replays show inconclusive evidence to say it touched his fingers.

Yeah if it's sent upstairs the decision should be put 100% into the video refs hands. The reason why the system was bad before the bunker was because we couldn't hear the reason behind the decision live.

Controversial finish aside, I didn't think either side deserved it.
Manly were their own worst enemies through out the match and their play was riddled with errors. They've been able to get away with those blemishes but tonight they found out they cannot commit minor infringements and get away with it. They blew two tries that they should have had and left their charge too late. I criticised the Panthers attack, but the truth was the Sea Eagles attack wasn't great either. For all this talk of how great Trbojevic is, he kept hiding on an edge of the field to play a Darius Boyd role and went missing for the vast majority of the contest. The Panthers probably had the better of the ruck for the vast majority and Manly couldn't quite get a roll on going.
I thought it was the Panthers evening all game. They had all the possession and field territory and yet they let the Sea Eagles score first through their own ineptitude. Individually I thought they played well and defensively they were much improved on last week. However there wasn't a lot to their attack and they relied heavily on Cleary's boot to get them home. I believe they only managed the one try off a rebound before they got their rubbish try at the death.
At the end of the day that Tyrone Peachey try isn't the end of the world. However we can't allow this try to be considered acceptable. Peachey was rewarded for a mistake and one team was given the contest based purely on guess work from one senior official. Yes, the video referee had his hands tied because of the burden of proof but balance of probabilities leans heavily to it being a No Try and not a Try.
Based on the performance tonight, I still think the Broncos can beat Penrith, but they cannot play like they did against the Roosters. If they do, Penrith will advance to Melbourne which would hurt them more than it would help them.

I'm not sure putting it into 100% into the video refs hands would have changed the outcome.
Even in the old system, the try would have very likely been benefit of the doubt.

I'd be putting it 100% in the bunkers hands, but remove the "benefit of the doubt" ruling. if the bunker can not conclusively say it is a try then rule "no try"
