Robbo calls out Cummins and starts the PR war with the refs

[TheLoneRooster]

And as for that scum bag cummins, he went to no trouble to hide his bias against the Roosters so comfortable must he be in his position.

As are all the others.
Happens all the time...not just with him.
And as Robbo said...it's been going on for decades.

All the whinging worked for the Leprechaun Toovey so get Robbo to keep on whinging.
I mean we have a very good footy team that is disrepected by refs big time

[Salvatori Grubber]

Toovey demanded an audience with the NRL post-Grand Final due to what he saw as anti-Manly refereeing, and the NRL obliged by sending Greenberg down to Brookvale for a session with Toovey.

Apparently Greenberg admitted that the refs had gotten a few critical calls wrong against Manly.

Fast forward to last night.

Rewind to yesterday afternoon, I made my daily pilgrimage to the trophy that's in the East's Leagues foyer. The little chippy who works on the front desk thinks I'm keen on her.

Stuff Manly, Stuff Geoff Toovey, Stuff the NRL, Stuff Cummins.

[Spanner in the works]

I've thought for a long time that refs should have to front a full press conference after each game. They are a protected species and the game is worse off for it.

Quite.

And who's protecting them?

Robbo on Triple M at the moment backing up his claims.

[milanja]

If manly won the games 16-0 or something like that, the penalty count would seem a lot less inferior, but a 6-0 game, any penalty for us is a crucial penalty, thats what bugs me the most, also show that manly didnt have much to offer either. We win a count like that, we win 20+.

[roosterproud]

drongos have conceded 8 penalties v cowards 4
and only 3 against us. and 10 against us
drongos conceded 6 against merge 3

mandy conceded 4 against the eels 10
mandy also did 8 against souffs 6
mandy conceded 9 along with the cheats.
an average of 7 penalities per game mandy gives over three rounds of footy

and alas only 2 v us 11

its a joke.............

Care to provide a brief rundown of Robinson's remarks elo? That is if they're any different to the presser. Thanks.

[Game Fowl]

We must concede that 80% of the penalties we give away are warranted, the real issue is how do the opposition get away with out penalties for the same offences?

I wouldn't concede to the first part of your first sentence and you touched on the much bigger question in the second part. The second part is where the real issue lies.
