E\ufeffels<\/a> forward Luca Moretti has earned the ire of NRL icon Phil Gould<\/a> after his stunning double act helped his side gain two penalties in quick succession as they won 28-24.<\/p>\n

Trailing 26-18 at the time, Manly<\/a> looked like they'd scored in the 65th minute after Tolutau Koula's runaway effort. <\/p>\n

However, the Bunker interjected after Jake Trbojevic was ruled to have obstructed Moretti in the lead up to his brother Tom's linebreak.<\/p>\n

\ufeffAndrew Johns immediately said "come off it" on Nine's coverage as the Bunker made its decision, before Gould fired up with an all-time spray.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

"He was never going to chase – he had no intention of chasing," he said.<\/p>\n

"He was cuddling Trbojevic. He had no intention of chasing … that is an absolutely terrible decision.<\/p>\n

"The black and white nature of their interpretations is honestly childish sometimes and it's so frustrating. Moretti had no intention of chasing."<\/p>\n

The following play, Moretti ran a decoy and was hit without the ball, before throwing his hands in the air.<\/p>\n

Manly's Corey Waddell conceded the penalty, with a replay revealing Moretti's antics.<\/p>\n

"Oh my gosh … it's hilarious," Johns laughed.<\/p>\n

\ufeff"They can all bench press and squat the grandstand, but you bump them and they fall over," Gould added.<\/p>\n

The afternoon match started with Manly going ahead \ufeff14-0 thanks to a Rueben Garrick penalty goal along with tries for Tom Trbojevic and Jaxson Paulo.<\/p>\n

Parramatta hit back through Will Penisini, Mitchell Moses and Blaize Talagi to lead 16-14 before Garrick's try put Manly in front 18-16 on the stroke of half-time.<\/p>\n

The hosts started strong in the second half with Morgan Harper and Kelma Tuilagi going over to deliver a 26-18 lead in the 60th minute. \ufeff<\/p>\n

Moretti's double act then crippled the Sea Eagles in their comeback attempt, as Moses took full advantage and slotted a penalty goal to make it 28-18.<\/p>\n

Waddell's try in the 73rd minute made it interesting \ufeffbut ultimately the score finished 28-24 in the Eels' favour.<\/p>\n

Manly enforcer Josh Aloiai will also have some concerns after he was put on report for leading with the head \ufeffin a tackle on Clint Gutherson. A melee then followed with Aloiai sin binned after he pushed Reagan Campbell-Gillard in the face.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
