From the Rothfield column in today's Sunday Telegraph:
MANLY'S multi-millionaire part-owner Rick Penn wants the NRL to overturn the decision to fine the Sea Eagles $100,000 for the Brett Stewart drama at the 2009 Manly season launch.
Now that David Gallop has gone, Penn plans to approach commission chairman John Grant. Penn wants to give the $100,000 straight to Stewart to put towards his legal fees.
"Brett was cleared of any wrong-doing by the courts and the NRL should give us our money back to help Brett," Penn said.
