2011 NRL Premiership Fix – Manly complete the conspiracy in style.

Published by SJ under General

If it was not enough to convince you that last week the NRL / referee’s cheated the Broncos out of a grand final birth in Darren Lockyer’s last season lets look at a list of further proof that confirms the someone in high power only wanted Manly to win this years premiership.

• Sam Thaiday was suspended for two games for no apparent reason
• The referee’s blew a 5 – 1 penalty count in the first half of a qualifying final in which at least 4 of the penalties were complete rubbish
• Steve Matai came in with some late knees to Jharal Yow Yeh’s back after he scored a try and should have been suspended like Steve Renouf was in the exact same circumstances. Inexplicably Matai gets off with no suspension.
• Tony Williams hit Jharal Yow Yeh with a legit high shot to the jaw in a tackle and got off with no suspension.
• Glenn Stewart instigated a fight with a Melbourne player and got one week less suspension than the very player he attacked.
• Brett Stewart should have been sent to jail but got off scot free.
• Jamie Lyon had a contract with Paramatta – pretended to be home sick then a week later moved to England presumably to be nearer his home?
• George Rose during the grand final lands a blatant leading elbow that any UFC fighter would be proud of KO’ing his opponent and gets off a slap on the wrist. He should have been sent off or at least given 10 minutes in the sin bin.
• Tony Watmough faces the sidline, plays the ball and is not penalized, even though the rules clearly state that a player must be facing the opposing try line – not side line.
• NZ Hooker Aaron Heremaia about to tackle Michael Robertson when Sea Eagles halfback Daly Cherry-Evans obstructed the NZ player from completing the tackle. Robertson continued downfield and a try was scored in the next play. This should have been a NZ penalty not a Manly try.

It is clear to anyone with an ounce of knowledge that this was the biggest fix since 1919.

The only visible members of the conspiracy so far are Matt Cecchin and Tony Archer. We will see if more comes to the surface soon.
