The Sam Verrills Hit

[Waylander]

Smalley got 1 week with an early plea ... not that he would of played NRL next week anyway.

[ccfc bondi]

all of the above...that ref was just gutless and a total techno junkie

The ref knew the media and the wider public were on Manly's side! There was no way he was going to do anything to spoil their chances of an upset. Gutless!

[Rooster90]

the mercy rule was in full force last night for Manly

Imagine being Corey Waddell right now with 5 weeks…. Even Jared’s was worse than that

That was an eye gouge. He should have got 12 weeks.

[Rooster36]

Na disagree no gouge also he wasn’t charged with a gouge it was dangerous contact how does that work

[The Sack]

No mention of the late shoulder charge on Keary after he had passed the ball that led to a Roosters’ try from any of the commentators or bunker. Red hot decisions as always against the Roosters. Bloody disgrace!

[kakaruk]

Should have been sent off classic old school stiff arm tackle he should have been walked imo

[King Salvo]

Nathan Cleary sent off for a spear tackle - looking at up to 4 weeks - not good for the Chooks with Luai out possibly until the finals - both missing gives the Roosters competitors for a finals place a leg up when they play them- Panthers have Raiders/ Storm/Souths in their next 3 games.- Parra up 30-4 at halftime

Every time I see this thread on the main page, I think Nathan Aboud has hit Sam Verrills.

Rort. Absolute rort. If smalley was wearing a Roosters jersey I believe he would have been binned at the least and given more than a week off.

[Tommy Smith]

It was somewhere between a sin bin and a send off. Either decision would have been acceptable.

So to not even sin bin the bloke was an abject disgrace. Another video ref who should be spending the rest of the season on hiatus.

no doubt - an understrength penrith team for the next month makes is a bit harder for us to make the 8.
but them's the breaks and we benefitted from an understrength manly team and probably some of our opponents will get injuries in the next month. if we're good enough will get there and penrith having a disrupted journey into the semis will make it harder for them to develop momentum

I'm okay for the riff to lose to all those teams.... except souffs of course. Scumbags

I don't think that Easts will catch Melb. And I don't think the faiders will catch us

Any surprise at all that the video ref for this game was Gerard Sutton?????
