I really don't care what Storm fans think. This is a garbage display from Sutton.

Seemed a fair try to me.

Kikau was in the middle of passing the ball and it was knocked free. If it's not a straight up knock on, its a loose-carry induced knocked on, which is the same thing and has been called that way all year.

Also for what it's worth, I am going for the Pantherbros.

Cam Smith was just passing the ball and it was knocked free, same thing, different outcome.

I know you enjoy it, mate. I definitely never question neither that nor your passion

Quote from a friend "Cleary leading the Panthers off the field is the only time he's lead them all night."

So do you hate Sharks, Dogs and Eels also because they’re all convicted salary cap or drug cheats or just Storm 

Brutal way to end the half. Such an ugly try, but Koro of all people swiping at the ball. Long way back for the Panthers now

So how is this any different to Smith losing the ball when Koro was tackling him? Knocked free knock-on, which was Sutton's initial call.

WL hanging on to a 21 point lead at HT, Chucky and WT2K are coming for him though!!

Lets go WL!!!! Who you got?!?!

Panthers have had some bad breaks but compounded them by trying too hard and making stupid mistakes. They haven't played a half like that all season and that's not the referees fault

I think the majority of the calls have been correct but super frustrating going for the Panthers.

If the ref pulls a hamstring, Panthers have a chance.

Gus thinks even though the panthers are getting pumped, they are still on top :lol!:f

Warriors lost competition points due to cheating the cap, don't forget us!

Koro played at the ball? I didnt really see the kikau one but i thought the defender was making a tackle. Happy to be wrong on that as i didnt really see it properly

Usually I can't stand Gould but this one actually had me concerned for his mental state.

Because as MTB mentioned Koro played at the ball and hit only the ball. The Kikau one was a guy making a tackle (trying to wrap up the ball - quite different from what Koro did) and connecting with Kikau's arms as well as the ball.

Imo of course.

Don't forget Manly recently had a salary cap fine too, the Tiger's got done for not declaring offering a post career job to Robbie Farah while he was at Souths. And there's a strange suspicion that seems to hang over Easts.
Not many teams left really

It’s consistent but a strange way to rule the Smith knock down as play on. I mean he is holding the ball then the ball is traveling forward from his hands, and it’s knocked back from Koro. So hasn’t Koro forced Smith to knock on? Why because Koro knocked the ball back does the knock on from Smith not count.
