Referees

How good was that game for the Broncos? How many players will be on long suspensions after all that rubbish?

My prediction: none

 

[Dexter]

Agree, probably none. Refs were typically biased for a big Manly home game. This is the reason I hate Manly soooooooo much. They just get away with pretty much anything which is why they bitch so much to and about the refs all year. Bozo started this whingefest when he was coach .

I think you're right Coxy ... i can see bugger all suspensions out of all that crap that went down last night :rolleyes:

Manly are certainly getting the rub of the green lately .... let's hope it doesn't continue this sunday

On the radio they are saying B Stewart has done his medial ligament. (rumour so far)

Also saying, 9 players to be cited for the brawl. (rumour as well.)

 

[Coxy]

Even if they get cited they won't be suspended. Points only

He must have landed badly after swinging off Blairs neck :rolleyes:

Blair did run up to Glen Stewart after being binned. Refs could've viewed that as a contributory factor.

Poor reffing in Manly-Storm game.

Firstly, the elbow by Hinchcliffe was barely worth a penalty. I mean, if 4 refs on the field missed that then it's obviously not worthy of one in the first place so what's the point of penalising him once the video ref reviews it? In fact, the ONLY reason why Hinchcliffe was penalised was because that dip**** Lussick slaped Hinchcliffe, a few words were said then Lussick slapped him AGAIN and THAT's when **** got out of control. Why the **** did they penalise Hinchcliffe for the original offence? It was Lussick who started the whole brawl FFS!! Hinchcliffe wasn't the instigator and hew asn't even the one who threw the first punch...he just threw his elbow out in the tackle and I have my doubts whether he even meant to hit him with the elbow.

Then as they were walking off, they had a chat and Stewart through the first one, Blair fights back and they both get sent? WTF? Why Blair? What's Blair supposed to do?

And why did they reverse the penalty to Melbourne? Someone answer me that. They reversed it when they saw Hinchcliffe who commited the first offence, so why didn't they reverse the penalty again when they saw Glenn Stewart start the sideline fight? To add to that, the ref warned Brett Stewart for flying in! LOLZ. Wtf? What are you warning him for? You sin binned Blair and Stewart for coming in, but you only WARN Stewart for flying in like a maniac? Huh? Why didn't Brett get penalised?

Absolutely **** house reffing.

Trent Waterhouse 3rd man in got sent, so therefore B Stewart or Lussick (dickhead) should have been sent.

Blair had a bit of lip to Stewart but no reason for him to throw 7 air swings. I was hoping Blair would knock him the **** out can't stand Glen Stewart.

Reffing was so one sided last night it was ridiculous.

Agreed. I hate Storm's tactics but they haven't been pinged for it all season. To start in round 25 at Manly is ridiculous. And the worst thing was Manly was doing dirty **** in the ruck too with no penalties.

Ridiculous.

So i suppose Stewart loitering around the sideline instead of going straight up the tunnel had nothing to do with it either ?

 

[Kaz]

Glenn Stewart took his time leaving the field.

IMO: It was premeditated.

 

[dukey]

Just suspend them both.

I'm not defending Stewart because he clearly instigated it but Blair was no angel either, they both knew what they were doing.

 

[Kaz]

The sin bins were about 25 secs apart.

Stewart should have been off the field & half way down the tunnel.

 

[Jeba]

Blair ran after him though. Clearly both had to be sent off. No problem with how the refs handled it, just have huge problems with how much they let Manly get away with in the play the ball.

 

[Coxy]

I do think the players from manly who raced in should've been binned. B Stewart sent off

 

[Kaz]

On Fox sport NRL show, they said B Stewart got hurt when he was fighting with Blair.

I think he fell & hurt himself. Such a shame. NOT

Players do run off the field after being sinned binned/sent off.

G Stewart was taking his time getting off the field.
