Not for the first time this season.  How come a blatant professional foul gets totally whitewashed because a try is scored.  Surely the offence is not nullified by a later event.

As you say depth. Age right, size right, experience ok (40+) games.  Just never noticed him.

Same here, so he probably isn't the next Artie Beetson.

I do remember his dad, David Boyle was a solid player for Canberra.

Go P!!!!#%%%

Take 2.

Go the grubby team of losers playing the Donkeys .... that works.

Crap game, 2 dumb teams.

I see. So he's a replacement for Tolman.
All good.

We ideally needed 3 things to go our way this week.

A) Dogs win -check
B) Cows lose -check
C) Broncos lose -50% there....

If Parra can go on with it, it will be an interesting game next Thursday when Broncos play Cows.

Wooden spoon can potentially be won by Broncos without us even playing a minute vs Penrith. 

Cows losing tonight ensured that a win against Penrith by us next week and we avoid the spoon no matter what happens tonight or on thursday.

Come on you hopeless losers, don't lose to the hopeless losers,

I think our team could have beaten both teams 13 on 26, Parra should be where we are on the table.

3 from 3.
Avoiding the spoon is now in our hands.

Although I'd be much happier if Broncos take it away from our hands on Thursday night and we can relax on Saturday 

Anyone heard the latest on TPJ.  Multiple covid breaches, Broncos reportedly want to year up contract, TPJ hints at TP anomalies, NRL interested, Broncos give him another chance, all goes quiet.  Nothing to see here.

Third party cheating is bigger than the game or any player itself.....

It's like the NRL thinks we're all stupid.

Does t matter how ma y times I watch that tackle of DFif I can see how it was a penalty let alone placed on report...

Exactly.  Stupid involvement of the bunker.  If there was something there, which I doubt, it could have been actioned during the week.

To me the bunker makes these unnecessary decisions to justify their own existance. Unfortunately they are not always correct.

My thoughts are use the bunker for tries when the ref is uncertain.
Scrap captain's challenge, for general play but allow it for tries where tne ref doesn't use the bunker. 

Stop replays of crusher tackles, etc, only use the bunker for serious allegations like biting, head butting etc.

I agree penalties / restarts should be given for 3rd man in low, if a player has stopped moving a 3rd player joining the tackle should be a tackle count restart... 2 players should be able to tackle 1 player.

3rd man in tackles also increase the chances of friendly fire injuring a defender. Basically only allow them when the player is still making yards.

The rules will never be ideal and refs make mistakes, but the fans come to see action, not endless replays while the bunker makes a decision.

Waddell $26 first try scorer... in on it... then off to a Laundys establishment...

Morgan Boyle is playing, Manly are our feeder club.

Holbrook has worked wonders with the GC

Pretty much the same team as last year.... he’s really got them going!


Lets hope, T Baz can bring out the best of our current lot that’ll still be around in 2021

Reserve grade a bit ordinary... trailing at halftime.

I suggest we sack the coach, and promote DCE to peeling oranges for first grade.

Laundrys only owned 1 pub when you first became a customer

Desball.... it's diminishing at Belmore and increasing at Brookvale. I think there is only a handful of Desballers left at the Dogs and very soon will decrease again.

Storm v Tigers game....... that last "try" by smith is enough for me to say that the referees and the bunker are taking the p!ss. Smith knocked on in the PTB clear as day and the bunker "missed" it.

Just tuned in to check the score and I see Des' team has been molested by Titans....

Sucked in Fwit Des.....

Just a casual observation after rewatching first half of Manly game...has Des recently purchased some Grecian or gone the way of the Steven Segal darker hair? 

Typically your choice of words is poor at brst...

And if you wanna come at me with an alternate meaning you would at least have to have watched the game...

But u watch fvck all footy... 

Interesting to see how similar incidents in tackles are treated differently.
Su'a - shoulder to the head of Lewis - penalty, 10 minutes in bin, on report
Siva - shoulder to the head - no action 
Both injured players no further part in game.
Difference - Su'a in defence, Siva in attack.
It could be argued that Siva's act was at least as if not more intentional.
Not making a judgement here, just pointing out that player welfare is not always the overriding consideration.

The act outweighs the outcome on field for mine... The outcomes should only of concern to the judiciary..,
