Round 11 Discussion

[Kimlo]

Manly now have one of the best goal kickers in the game. Hodkinson will be an excellent buy for them.

 

[Kimlo]

Hahahaha. Another bin. Melbourne to finish the game with 11

25 penalties.

 

[Kimlo]

13v11 and Manly go for a penalty goal. Sink the boot in FFS.

I gotta thank Addo-Carr there.

Craig bellamy is the greatest coach in the history of the nrl*

* = when cameron smith is in the team. Otherwise he has around a 20% win record, wins 2/9 games in origin, wins 1/3 city vs country games, and loses a grand final by the biggest margin in the history of rugby league in australia...

Let's see if Addo-Carr makes another appearance.

Bellamy will tear them a new one. Wish you could livestream it

I feel a little better about our loss last week now, but only a little.

According to Brandy NRL control the clock and sin bin timings, so it's purely an NRL **** up, in which case yeah it's not great but there's no way they can dock them points.

Manly would have been keeping track of the time the players were off, as well.

They wouldn't have just ignored it. They knew the players were coming back on early and let it happen because it gave them an advantage.

As far as I'm concerned, Manly should be docked the points for this game.

IIRC the NRL also has an interchange official and they are in control of the interchange process.

When a team has 14 players on the field, it's a **** up from the NRL official and teams are still docked points.

Let's apply BHQ logic though. This is purely a coaching issue.

 

[Foordy]

i missed this game ... what actually happened?

If you're referring to the Ben Roberts incident, I believe back then clubs controlled the interchange and timings, so it was purely on the Dogs.

This time, the player who was binned is waiting for the NRL official, whose job it is, to give them the green light to go on. I simply can't see how you can dock Manly points for an NRL stuff up. Maybe a fine, but no way they get points.

Storm CEO called Greenberg and Canavan during the game to protest.

The NRL had interchange officials then. The system was brought in after the Broncos incident in 2004.
