Manly duo free to play
September 02, 2008 MANLY duo Steve Matai and Glenn Stewart are free to play for the NRL ladder leaders in the final round despite being charged by the match review committee.
Matai and Stewart have both been given grade one careless high tackle charges following the Sea Eagles fiery 28-10 win over Gold Coast at Brookvale Oval.
But early guilty pleas will see both players cleared to play against Penrith, while Matai will be risking a one-match ban if he contests his charge at the NRL judiciary.
Two Titans players were also charged.
Rookie Esi Tonga can escape suspension with an early guilty plea for a dangerous throw charge while hooker Nathan Friend is set to miss the final round clash against the Wests Tigers for his involvement in a second half fight with Sea Eagles prop Josh Perry
