Gee. The club really is scared of the NRL.
If ever a good case could have been mounted against a bogus charge then this was it.
Disappointing to read the club has rolled over again.

I mean, are they really rolling over? They are challenging the grading against Cherry, which would result in him only getting a fine and being able to play. To be honest, I'm surprised they're even doing that.

I agree I can’t remember the last time we contested a charge. Long time ago.

I think it’s a good strategy. Accept that Haumole was ‘in the wrong’. Thus assessing (gambling responsibly😉) that as a result, the judiciary might be more amenable to downgrading the charge against DCE.

Agree. I think the argument will also use the bunker as supporting such a view, given DCE stayed on the field? But Guac did not.

I can't recall did the ref even put DCE on report for the tackle? After the bunker had a million looks?

Would this mean a 3 game ban for DCE if he is unsuccessful in the downgrade?

The Sea Eagles have confirmed that Haumole Olakau’atu and Daly Cherry-Evans have taken early guilty pleas for their role in a dangerous tackle on Parramatta back rower Shaun Lane.

Both Olakau’ata and Cherry-Evans received Grade 2 Dangerous Throw charges and offered two-match bans, however the Sea Eagles have only accepted the two-game suspension for Olakau’atu.

Manly have submitted a guilty plea for Cherry-Evans as well “but will be disputing the grading to try and get a downgrade to a Grade 1 charge” according to a club-issued statement.

Per a previous post, only 21% of suspensions were challenged last year - and only 20% of those succeeded. Or 4% of total suspensions were overturned....Not scared just aware of the percentages
 
Viliami Fifita named in reserve grade again for the Dragons,despite the flogging they received last week.Obviously he has plenty of time ahead in his career,but not making the impact as yet that many thought he would when Manly released him early.

IMO Flanagan wanted to be loyal to the same players that won the week before
But if they keep losing the loyalty will ware off and Fifita will get his chance

He’s only played 2 first grade games since he got there.A team that is ordinary.I have no doubt he has talent,but my point is,he wasn’t ready for first grade yet and Manly obviously saw the upside to releasing him early and allowing the club to re-sign those that are ready to go now and in years to come

The key word from your post is Upside .
Manly were correct in seeing a Super Upside in Brown
I have No Idea what they saw in resigning the Pedestrian Woods and Parker
As for Fifita the future will tell his Value
