Allgood had to hit or be hit: Maitua

[Dan]

I agree with Matua, Matai was not coming at him to shake his hand ffs. It was always going to end up as a blue when he ran so far. I don't blame Allgood for belting him, he thought I might as well get in first. I just would have run away seeing Stevie come at me. Lol.

He might have been rushing to give him his recipe for scones

Ahh, so that's why he sconed him.

And why allgood is in a jam

Bad night all round for Allgood – he sconed Matai, now he's in a jam, plus his team got creamed.
(And he didn't even end up getting Stevie's recipe )

The entire thing seemed unsavoury

So Garts, Allgood couldn't just get ready to defend himself IF Matai stupidly decided to throw a punch, he had to get one in first just in case. Fair dinkum!

Be quiet, cupcakes!

Oooh, you guys just gave me another comic idea.

Instead of Pirates of the high sea, pirates of the high tea!

(high sea pirates...high tea pirates...) - needs work.

*grabs pencil* as always, probably funnier in pic form.

Nice job, also no royalties forthcoming for you two!

Gallen - whose retribution-fuelled punch to the head of Nate Myles in the Origin opener was the catalyst for the fighting crackdown - backed Allgood's pre-emptive strike.

"Steve Matai's a bit of a firecracker, as we know," Gallen said.

"You've got Steve Matai coming toward you with his eyes rolling - you might have to protect yourself.

"I can see him thinking Steve Matai was coming to fight him and he got him first - if you're going to have a fight, you may as well get in first."

He defends Allgood!!!

Gallen spent a couple of years resuscitating a terrible reputation but in the space of a few weeks he's losing all credibility.

I assume Allgood also thought he'd better bash Buhrer while he was held by two players because he had a premonition Jamie was about to king hit him when he got up.
[/quote mm,fire cracker eh,after his cheap shot in origin 1,thats a bit rich,any respect I had for Gallen,is gone,that 5 gallen hat for his 10 gallen head must be too tight

In a few weeks time, Allgay will get blindsided in a massive tackle from the left centre and it will be lights out for the Wooden Spooner.

The Parra crowd will be swearing and pelting 50c coins again!

 

[Brissie Kid]

If Allgood was fearing Matai was going to hit him, why did he stay to confront Matai at all? Allgood had 70m of open field behind him to run back to his own dead ball line if he was concerned Matai was going after him! Sook.

In 2011 Stevie got binned for patting Farah on the back!

http://www.smh.com.au/rugby-league/league-news/farah-hits-back-at-sea-eagles-im-no-diver-20100725-10qms.html

THERE are few worse things you can accuse a player of than being a diver. Which is why Wests Tigers captain Robbie Farah, having vomited at half-time following a hit of which he had no recollection, was desperate to set the record straight.

''I wouldn't take a dive,'' Farah said yesterday, after agitated Manly players made that suggestion while he was being treated - the ensuing stoppage resulting in Sea Eagles centre Steve Matai being penalised, placed on report and sin-binned.

''He got me pretty good. I just remember Leedsy [strength and conditioning coach Andrew Leeds] talking to me out there and just telling me to take my time and try and come around. The boys were telling me that a couple of them were having a go at you, but I can't remember. I'm disappointed [by the suggestion] … I don't think I went too well in the second half. You can probably tell by my performance that I wasn't taking a dive.''

Matai was sin-binned after giving Farah a whack on his back after the hooker had been treated. The Manly player had attempted a charge-down on a passing Farah, leaping to stop the ball and raising his arms in the air as he did so, making contact with the Tigers player as he came down.

While no Sea Eagles player or official publicly accused Farah of play-acting, it was clear from their actions on the field that they had doubts about the extent of his injuries.

''It didn't look like there was too much in it, and if it does go to - and I don't think it should - but if it does go to the referees committee, I think we might be calling on the Balmain player to maybe throw in some evidence as well,'' Manly coach Des Hasler said. ''Until it's reported on, we'll keep our fingers crossed.''

Asked whether Farah made more of the hit, Hasler said: ''You'll have to ask Robbie Farah that.''

Farah said he did not even know who had hit him. ''I just got stung,'' he said. ''I don't really remember … I didn't black out. I just got shook up and spaced out. I don't even know who got me. Some of the boys said it was Matai. I can't remember what happened. It just shook me up a bit.''

The contentious moment occurred just before half-time. Farah received treatment for several minutes from Leeds, while Manly protested to referee Shayne Hayne through Matai and captain Jamie Lyon; the latter urging the official to ''look at him''.

Video referee Steve Clark reviewed footage of the incident several times, and eventually called or Matai to be penalised, with Hayne telling Matai:

''It's been reviewed, you've collected him high, it's on report.''

Matai replied: ''Are you serious?'' The Manly player then approached Farah and gave him a sturdy slap on the back. Hayne called Matai back and sent him to the sin bin - probably the first time a pat on the back has led to that result, although former Balmain prop Steve Roach was once reprimanded for patting an official on the head.

Sea Eagles players were adamant the initial hit by Matai was legal.

''I didn't think there was a lot in it,'' winger Michael Robertson said. ''I'm not a ref. It's his call. There might have been a bit of gamesmanship … I didn't think there was a lot in it, but they [the officials] obviously saw something in it, so it was a penalty.''

Tigers doctor Donald Kuah confirmed Farah had suffered concussion.

Another team official said when Farah was asked on the field if he wanted to be substituted, given Matai had been reported, the player had no idea what he meant.

''I just felt crook, I had a bit of a spew at half-time, got through the game but I was a bit of a passenger,'' Farah said afterwards.

Tigers players denied their skipper would take a dive. ''No way, mate,'' said Chris Heighington, who gestured towards Matai after his whack on the back. ''He [Farah] is a tough player. He's an 80-minute player. He got hit high, and the refs thought it was a penalty. That's it.''

But he held nothing against Matai. ''It's in the heat of the battle,'' he said.

 

[Brookvale]

Journeyman Matua "hit or be hit" - spoken like a bra boy thug!

 

[The Indian]

The defence of Allgood is no different to what we would do if the roles were reversed - you attempt to create a mitigating circumstance ( no matter how flimsy ) in the hope of getting the charge downgraded a touch.

Eg Our arguments to support Fa'aoso on spear tackles against Inglis.

 

[the mauler]

Allgood will be in all sorts when Matai is finished with him in a couple of weeks.

 

[HappilyManly]

Allgood will be in all sorts when Matai is finished with him in a couple of weeks.

No, no, no - Matai has a GF to miss out on - Allgood has a Wooden Spoon Celebration to look forward to.

So, anyone who cares about Skivvi as much as we Fans do, please tell him to 'take one (or however many) for the Team' :idea:
