WOW! The whole crowd just burst into a song just prior to kick off, simply sensational to hear.
@crazy-horse the whole Tongan team is looking gased already
Too many errors from Tonga, you just can’t gift Aussie opportunities like that.
24-6 now, this might get ugly.
@higgins the score. Although I wouldn’t mind seeing the Tongans dish out some biff on DCE
So Aussie get to take two conversions, the second from in front, because of a bit of accidental contact with the try scorers head, yet they never penalise a head high tackle, what the actual fuck?
The tactic of leading with your feet to stop a try being scored is grubby as fuck, I'm pretty comfortable with them stamping that shit out. But as you say, absolutely no consistency in League given the shit they let go.

It would have been fair enough if the guy was doing that, but it was just basically bad timing, ran into the guy and tripped over him. Completely accidental.
Bad timing for the penalty but I think the Tongans have been getting the rub of the green for their 50/50s.
Tonga on about their 32nd back to back set. They need to find a way over the line, somehow.
"Dance monkey, dance" seems to be spreading around social media.
Will be interesting to see what happens with that.
).The DJ at the game claims that an official in the production room said "dance monkey dance" when they put up the dance cam of the crowd.
There were other comments of casual racism in the production room, but it was "dance monkey dance" that set him off.
@mimic Haven't seen anything about it but will probably pop up in the MSM at some point.
Des Hasler has returned to coach Manly in 2019.

Ah ok.I hadn't heard anything about it.
I don't understand coaching appointments in the NRL. Is there a union you join that means you are always in line for a job?
Seibold has had 1 year in charge of the Bunnies, but looks set to sign for Brisbane from 2020. Souths are then going to make a massive mistake and hire Bennett. Word is that swap might even come forward a year.
This comes a couple of days after Manly went back to their ex in Des Hasler. Best part is, contractually, Manly currently has two head coaches.
