I didnt ask you for life advice.

I asked you questions in relation to a statement you mate.

If its someone coming out of their own 10 metre line and they stick their hand out, is that a sin bin?

If a decoy runner goes through a gap and a player puts a hand on him, by your definition thats 10 in the bin too?

Its not just this decision, its compounded by multiple blatantly incorrect decisions throughout the game.

You can only blame the players and coach so much... today they had their issues, but even the most one eyed manly fan would concede how biased today's game was in that first half.

Mate it's a 50/50 call. At best it should've been just a penalty but they binned him and we can't say much coz it's just the way "Tigers" gets treated. If that's from a more favoured team then it'll be just a penalty.

Mason should've been better than that.
 
Obviously we were awful, especially defensively, but Benji absolutely has to say something about the standard of refereeing. Even to impartial observers it was plainly obvious that just about every way in which the referee could rule in Manly's favour, they did.

When we play poorly and we're short of troops, we obviously can't win. But there's absolutely no way you can win when the ref gives the other team phantom 6 agains, penalises your guys for things the other team gets away with and completely lie on video reviews.

It's two weeks in a row now that we've been blown off the field in the first 15-20 minutes, with several farcical decisions aiding our opponents. Then as soon as we wrestle a bit of momentum back, the horrific decisions return.

Agreed but we need to show some sort of resolve!! Gee glad bunji brought Skelton on at 44-8 what a wizard of a coach

Is it a little too early to ask if Benji has quite suddenly lost the sheds ?

Our losses are more on him than the players.
He picks his mates and punts on kids.
Says alot about earning a right to play NRL and most those he picks haven’t.
Talked about being resilient and got the media to push stuff out.
This squad is all his and has talked about depth being a strong point.

For first 15mins today Seyfarth made 6 tackles on the far right, Sione made 2 on far left, Latu was defending outside Luai, then they all swapped instantly. Has Mason at the back who couldn’t defend a tackle bag. Then wondered why we defensively look crap. We were totally disorganized. He picks kids and players to play positions when they aren’t ready. We have the slowest team in the comp.

Luai plays like a Temu want a be Benji with his rubbish jinks and is our captain, when he simplifies his game he looks good but he often doesn’t want to do that - it says alot about who and what we are about.

Luai hasn’t stepped up at all, we get a try against us and he doesn’t bring the team together & the players don’t respond to him as captain.

Right now we look totally lost all over the park.

I have absolutely no issue with that perspective mate and i appreciate your perspective. Tucker box prefers to get personal than to engage in a discussion about it.
 
Last three games gave exposed our lack of depth and more importantly the value of our key players injured.

The key issue is not only resigning and extending our talent its bringing in more. This is where our lack of third parties hurt us. Juniors will cover us in the long run.

End of the day we are 5/5 and have the bye. We cant afford more injuries.

I don’t know how it looked on tv but from where I am we looked unfit and tired very quickly, the speed of the game has moved past some players very quickly. The bye has come at a good time.

We had a bye in round one and now have api, Bula, Fainu, Makasini, douehi out. Unfortunately back ups aren’t as good / ready for first grade yet.

Some 50-50 calls went against the team but please. If we had the run of calls we would of lost 38-26.

I think the forward pack has been dominated completely the last 3 weeks. The backline isn't up to it and then reacts to the domination..

Go up with linespeed and actually hit hard.

Problem is, there were many calls that werent even close to 50/50, they were blatantly wrong. If they were all 50/50 id cop it on the chin and say we needed to be better.

Im not sure how much evidence we need before actually going to the NRL with a dossier against having Klein ever rule in the bunker against us. The amount of shocking bunker calls he has given us over the years.

Gee I wish I was a multi.....im crazy enough to attempt a class action against the NRL and Klein

Legal action? It’s not that deep. Take a breath and hug your family.
 
Well it was great while it lasted there was hope unfortunately the injury toll is too big to overcome hello darkness my old friend.
Hopefully Latu goes back to the halves Skelton in place of Luke and it looks like Toa is back in the centres as Taylan season is over.
