Steve Matai

[Napper]

Cops 2 doesn't throw one back.

Un Be Lieveable!!!

---

Knew I'd he threw one it would be 20 weeks. Good restraint shown

 

[Volley]

Then keeps his cool to help set up the try.

Love Stevie.

 

[voicefromthehill]

Allgood will be gone for 6 weeks plus for sure.

 

[Garts]

I can't blame Allgood. Matai was running at him and was probably thinking this mad prick is about to belt me so I better get in first.

 

[Dan]

This is where the rule is crap. Matai just had to stand there and take 3 punches to the head. Matai deserves the right to defend himself

 

[voicefromthehill]

I can't blame Allgood. Matai was running at him and was probably thinking this mad prick is about to belt me so I better get in first.

But he should have felt safe knowing the crack down in punching

What did he expect when he threw 2 punches at Buhrer in the tackle, that he would just get away with it?

Yeah no problem with the blue. The swinging arm in the tackle was a joke.

one week for punching JB and at least three for hitting Matai.

 

[Napper]

one week for punching JB.

You're kidding? 10 weeks IMO.

 

[the mauler]

I hope Allgood isn't suspended too long so Matai can square up in a few weeks at Parra Stadium.

They will go soft on him no doubt. After all he hit Sea Eagles players.

Part of me agrees but then part of me thinks that is a bad idea as Matai will lose his sh!t and end up on the sidelines for a long stint. We do not need that.

Yeah good point. Lol

I'd give him alot more but I'd be suprised to see him get more than 6

 

[niccipops]

Fantastic job by Matai in that situation. If he'd have hit back we'd have lost him for multiple weeks for sure. Great show of self control for the good of his team.

 

[Killer03]

WTF is wrong with the refs? Even the fox commentators were appalled at how long they took to make the decision, which allowed the situation to continue to bubble, and then only give him 10??

He belts Buhrer and then whacks Matai??? Off...gone....

Well handled by the other players & officials too.

Lyon especially.

 

[HappilyManly]

Special mention to Donny Singe - took all his skill to keep Matai from taking on the whole of the Parra side

Matai's self control was truly commendable

 

[Eagles2nv]

I was shocked at matais cool head. I thoguht for sure he was going to retaliate when he got hit

Agreed this rule is stupid. If someone throws a punch, you should be penalised for defending yourself (unless you go overboard of course).

 

[Killer03]

I actually thought Killer was going to hit Allgood. I've never seen Jamie as peed off as he was. Whenever there's a stink he's Mr Cool, but he looked absolutely ropeable. Although I'd hate to see Jamie rubbed out, I was hoping he'd snot him!
