The milking of penalties is becoming a farce.

Manly have had all the favours in this game

Wayno cracked a rare smile after that one

Love Trai Fuller - what a find

Dolphins errors costly.

He has been consistently good for Manly.

And the best/ highest profile players in the game do the most yapping at the ref but they tend to make an example of lesser players. All they had to do was acknowledge that Casey is an emerging ref and that they would support her to address some of the weaknesses from her last performance and...

Casey is not going away. I just hope she reflects and addresses what went wrong last week - assuming that she is not delusional enough to think that there were not some weaknesses in her performance - so that next time she officiates one of our games it will be an improved outcome.

Yes I thought he was injured

Papi and Bateman carry the load of D. Bateman top tackler for the last two weeks and IPap the two weeks before that. I expect that IPap will top the tackle count this week at 13.

Casey has been given Warriors v Roosters this week. Billy knows nothing about playing at a struggling club and the mental frustration that comes with that as player and a fan.

A bit rich from Billy Slater he played under captain for his entire career who most fans believed was the third umpire on the field every week.

I think there have been plenty that have had a go at Bateman over his captaincy and that he antagonized the situation. Have a look at the media images of Bateman and Klemmer that they have chosen to push out about not tolerating disrespect toward referees, and if you didn't see the game what...

The penalty the ref gave to the Bulldogs for foul play in the tackle when Kikau was tackled and in the tackle his head made contact with Papalli's knee was a case of looking for something that did not happen and resulted in Bateman approaching the ref and the penalty was rightly overruled -...

The injuries are starting to mount. Toa injured in his first run back.

I don't think there is any surprises about the reaction by the NRL on the back of Casey B's performance. They have to back her for all the reasons already identified by fans in the society we now live in. I admire her courage to take on a difficult and most scrutinized role - all refs - need to...

Not too surprised. There was reason to when it was originally believed to be a Hip Drop but once it was named 'dangerous" too broad to fight. Opportunity for Latu...

All for strengthening the squad in the forwards - But stats will show the work rate of the current lot against most teams that we have played have been similar in meters and D, apart from the last game which werent great and yet we were still in the game till the end. We have been in a position...

Rules on the run. Every tackle made can be deemed dangerous it's a collision sport and none more so when trying to prevent a player from scoring. Now not a hip drop because we we could have defended that and also supports ref not sending him to the bin - instead just dangerous with a severe...

Surely the club has to fight this. There was nothing to suggest that Curran was hampered in anyway from that tackle and it is not a hip drop so what is it - another discretionary ruling??
