+1Well said and good sportmanship Eagle eye.
fkn oath, those bastards just keep coming. They never gave up+1
Although, with respect, I think you are being a bit harsh on your boys....
Good post mate and thanks for the humbleness. But I tend to disagree with some of this. Manly had a load of posession in our 20 and with over 60% possession it was really manlys too lose. They should have scored much more had it not been for our defence tonight.Well done Dogs. In all honesty, Manly should never have been that close.
We were outplayed tonight and the score flattered Manly. The Dogs were 8-10 points better tonight and Manly had pretty much next to zero in attack in your 20.
I don't know how much ball Manly had but it must have been close to 60%.
About the only thing Manly could complain about is that Reynolds was short. But we got plenty of decisions go our way so fair enough.
Even had Manly won, I still would have been pissed. The early season form has disappeared. Not good signs for Manly.
The invisible man is in big trouble!That was a nasty tackle on Reynolds at the end, whoever lifted him deserves 8 weeks
That dud decision re Barba being tackled in goal came at a crucial time in the game. To give Manly the repeat set of six was a mental and physical killer for the Bulldogs.They cant say Manly didnt have their share of luck. One try they scored on the back of a bad ref decision about barba grounding it in goal and the last try they scored to level it up came from a very lucky deflection from a kick. Both teams had good and bad luck during the game a few times.
Forgot about the Barba f... up ... he was so in play, never should have been a drop out and YES so many penalties against us that should NOT have been ... refs need to be accountable for their mistakes just like when players and coaches have to front the press why shouldn't refs have to do the same?Absolutely disgusting by the refs....at 24-6, the first was a ridiculous penalty against Perrett, then an absolute joke of a call on Barba for the line-drop and finally to top it all off, the Manly player loses the ball and wham another penalty.
Had that not happened, Manly would've never come back into the game. At the end of that fiasco the penalty count was 10-4. We managed 1 more penalty in regular time and one that won us the game. Can these Refs stop destroying the game
They seem to be destroying our games more and more its getting really frustrating to watch and I can only imagine how angry Des + the coaching staff and the players are with it.Absolutely disgusting by the refs....at 24-6, the first was a ridiculous penalty against Perrett, then an absolute joke of a call on Barba for the line-drop and finally to top it all off, the Manly player loses the ball and wham another penalty.
