Fox reporting that Manly scored off a line ball pass ? Really? If that is considered line ball I’d hate to see what they call a forward pass.
Pies says it was a soft penalty that cost them the game. It was a soft ….no a shit call penalty against Staggs for taking the player over the touch line while the tackle was obviously not yet complete that changed the game’s momentum.
It was a shit penalty against Mariner for tackling too hard that kept Manly on the attack.
What about the phantom 6 agains? What about Mariner being tackled without the ball when Staggs made that break?What about the crusher on Staggs which saw the Manly player placed on report but no penalty to us coz Staggs never laid down like a soccer bitch?
What about Garrick bombing a try by kicking ahead only for it to go over the sideline?
Yeh FOX Manly were the better side and should have won, right OK.
Oh they were missing Tommy turbo they said. Well we were missing Reynolds, Walsh, Walters (3/4 of our spine no less), Jesse Arthurs and Tristan Sailor were also out so we had to move Cobbo and bring in a rookie with less than 24 hours to prepare, but not a word said about that.
That game was so warped by ‘poor’ decisions from the ref that Manly were given ample chances to win and despite the added assistance were still unable to get past a Broncos team running on sheer Kevvie will power.
Such a gritty grinding win against all odds deserves a bit more respect and recognition but what do you expect from a Sydney centric media?
