‘Blood everywhere’: Investigations launched after police called to Manly SG Ball brawl
The incident is the latest in a long line of nasty brawls at junior rugby league matches.
Another pre-season mischief

- Start date
Always.
Looking at the headline, seems amazing that there was a game of footy with only one team playing.
More amazing is the fight wasn't on the field but let's splash MANLY over the (digital) page.
Lucky though, so many phones, not one vid of the incident (I think)...

Repeatedly kicking someone on the ground in the head is a definite full-time jail sentence if proved, so a bit more serious than 'mischief' I'd say.
The news report makes it sound like it was Manly people fighting each other??? They do mention that Hoppa was only involved to try to break it up.

When was the last pre-season that Manly wasn't negatively represented in the presser? I honestly can't remember when..

I would also query the use of the word “brawl” when it would seem there were only 2 combatants.

Just be our luck a Fainu was involved
Yes just our luck
The older one, Sione, is in the top 30 squad and the younger ones are younger. Probably SG Ball / HM cup this year.
Don't jinx it @Batty 😬
They might be minors

No mention of birds being involved.
He was playing ducks and drakes
If Hoppa was watching the game, maybe one of his many sons was playing for Manly. The storey goes on to say that Hoopa tried to calm things down, mmm...makes a change !!
