BOL on your play bud

Have to ask the question, 

Do you believe the 7th tackle try cost the Cowboys, or was it that fact they had a lead with 20 mins to go and could simply not close out the game?

All i see is people saying they lost because of that, well the entire make up of the game changes and all paths after that change as it would have been a bomb put up instead of the try, so for people to say that try cost them and all this other BS in my opinion is incorrect.

They gave up a try but still had a 2 point lead. Good teams can close from their. God look at the Chooks they only needed 4 points. The Cowboys got 18. 

Poor decisions are made every week in NRL by the boys in pink and other teams do not cry for rematch. 

Your thoughts please?

Going to be interesting to see how Manly recover physically AND emotionally from that game on Sat night.

It isn't the longest turnaround either....also Manly are not the youngest team around either..

If Carney was fit, Sharks would win....

I think Cowboys were robbed and 2 years in a row now it's happened to them. Rigged sport is australian rugby league, what thurston and others have said about it is true in regards to nsw people.

Thoughts on Storm?

Stewart is a huge loss. There record without him is pretty bad..He is the link between the halves and the outside backs...

Yeah that's a massive loss, not sure if it will change the result but my plan of going in on manly has just changed, no bet for me on this one.

Think the sharks are missing carney though so they aren't exactly running with a full team either.

Sure do.

Folks say Manly will be fatigued after last week's physical encounter with the Chooks but it was the Chooks who wore the majority of the pain. Manly won't miss Stewart as much in this game, Carney the bigger loss for the Sharks. Also the Seagles will be full of points after getting the big fat nada last week whereas the Sharkies celebrated like they'd won the GF after controversially beating the Cows. Too much class in the halves for Manly with DCE and Foran versus a Todd-less Cronulla and the game will be dictated that way...

Sharkies look likely if they can keep Manly out here

Sharks defense has been good...2 tries off kicks for manly...1 was just lucky, the other was a nice well executed...

Sharks bombed a certain in the first half...

There isn't much between these teams.....

If Manly respect possession, they should win....at one stage they were trying to score off every tackle.

Daniel Anderson needs to man up and get rid of this stupid fcuking rule where the refs have to have an opinion and then the video ref has to have irrefutable evidence to overrule it. That wasn't a try by Taufua, he dropped it.

Waqa last week looked to have scored, the ref calls no try even though he had no chance of seeing it and the video ref couldn't overturn it.

It's fcuked.
