Good win, but did we just cost ourselves a shot at the premiership?

SOO is different. Many things like blow ups get overlooked.

As a Bulldogs fan looking at it from an outside view there are a few things going against both sides.

Lets not forget the NRL are not shy sending a player from the game including the grand final (Cameron Smith 2008 Grapple Tackle and misses Grand Final).

Both sides will face large fines for bringing game into disrepute. Manly *may* also lose 2 comp points from the game, given that players from bench entered the field of play (ditto Melb but they didn't win).

Glen and Blair will probably cop 3-4 week suspensions, as there was no excuse for what went on.

Lussick and Hinchcliffe probably a few weeks.

Brett Stewart is a tricky one, but given he came in for the second fight clearly with the intent of a swinging arm on Blair. That won't be viewed lightly from Match Review Committee.

Sika Manu will probably cop a fine for enteringg from the bench, but he was breaking up the fight.

Full props to some of the players for not running in and getting involved though.

Two points of disagreement

(1) Brett Stewarts action was absolutely nothing. He just flew in too fast and simply was trying to rip Blair of his brother

(2) The bench involvements from the teams means nothing. They did not fight, and were merely trying ot protect the players from hurting each other by breaking up the fight.

This whole thing is overblown and pathetic.

Stop listening to 2GB mate,..
