I need a fucking banner from Marsters.

So annoying when rookies play this game and get the jump on you after a long hard year.

Yeah i dunno where the points came from. Only time i can remember seeing him were the times you just mentioned. I excitedly opened up the stats expecting to see him on 20 (i dont have him)..

I think maybe he got awarded the tbs for the try that wasnt a try? Ie they werent tbs? I dunno

I think there was half a run right at the end with a couple of TB's and offload maybe, when he knocked the ball on from a pass.

Ended on a decent score after all that. Somehow scored 34 in the 2nd half despite bombing 2 tries and missing 2 tackles for that last try.

He did do well, and I reckon his try was legit. The player rolled off and he was entitled to play on, although I would have like to see the replay to make sure as they cut it off after that freeze shot. About 5 mins later, in the middle of the field, Kurt Mann tackled Jarryd Hayne and rolled off and the referee screamed play on and Hayne continued. No difference at all to Aitken's try.
I'm almost positive if they took a freeze framed single shot of Mann's tackle, that would have "CONSTITUTED" a tackle.
All we ask for is CONSISTENCY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Agree.  Hayne was tackled there, no doubt.

I'm glad to see you say that because I thought it was a try, but I didn't say anything because I thought I must just be being a biased piece of shit again. Bunker just said his arm is on the ground and some dude is rolling over him - no try. Didn't even bother looking to see if they fell off him which is what the ref asked him to do. Would have been a 18 point play, instead he gets -2.

Personally I thought he was tackled. Even before the slow mo replays.

We dont see what the bunker sees.

Well it was a good choice to captain Turbo for me this week. Finally a gamble paid off.

Prettt much just need Ramien and Cotric to our score Farah tomorrow and I win my Qualies for L8

Elgey signed with manly for 2019 and 20

Any injuries/suspensions from those 3 games.

It's all I care about now

Arrow looked like he could be in trouble with a knee problem although he seemed to battle through it. Sounded like he came off late though so that makes me nervous

Cheers mate. Fifita being ruled out would be absolute gold too

I assume he’s good to go. I’m not over the concussion protocols but would have thought they’d know by now. Still in the 19 so suspect he’ll play.

Also while I didn’t see what happened I wonder if Taupau has an issue. Think he came off his second stint early.

Yeah just holding out a little hope it's a last minute shakeup.

Yep, he came off after AFB’s try meaning he missed the last 10 minutes- his second stint probably lasted about 13 minutes. Dirty as he was flying. Haven’t seen anything to explain why.

If Fifita plays I need Farah to beat Marsters by 40 points.

And we know that's unlikely

Zora you looping scum

I would have done the same, obviously
