Great news ahead of Tigers game: Matai and Taupau free to play

[lsz]

Manly Warringah Sea Eagles have received a massive boost ahead of the round two clash against Wests Tigers at Leichhardt Oval on Monday, March 14.

Centre Steve Matai and back-rower Martin Taupau have been cleared of any charges from the loss against the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs at Brookvale Oval last Friday night.

Both are now available for selection tomorrow. The Sea Eagles are also hoping to have full-back Brett Stewart back from a hamstring injury for the clash against the Wests Tigers.

It will be the second consecutive week Taupau has played one of his former clubs after tackling the Bulldogs and now the Wests Tigers.

Great news.

I didn't really think Skivy had a case to answer anyway. I was more worried about Marty TBH.

 

[SeaEagle21]

Great news!!

 

[HappilyManly]

Skivvi had no case to answer. Some Knights player almost decapitated Bird and a penalty was deemed sufficient.

Taupau should buy all the Fans at Friday's game an Oz Lotto ticket 😛

Whenever I see the sign Members Only I think of Todd.

 

[PONTIAN SEA EAGLE]

There's no excuse to lose against the kittens they should have got flogged in that 2nd half against the worriers.

 

[Rodo]

Well that's a big surprise to see both Matai and Taupau get off scott free. I was not expecting this particular because of Matai's long history. Hopefully this great news spurs on the team to put in a solid performance against the Tigers.

All thanks to bozo....

 

[Chip and Chase]

Must say I'm surprised Kapow got off, pleasantly surprised for both Manly and my SC side.

 

[Pittwater Legend]

How the fark did Matai get off? I'm sure they would look for any excuse to ping him.

 

[robbiea]

His grip is always on a member !

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Maybe Greenslime was trembling in his boots at the thought of a negative ZtH story

 

[Loobs]

Good now Barrett should drop both and replace them with Williame and Luke Burgess

 

[Rusty Cage]

Surely we wont have another week like that shirly. Shirly we wont have another week like that surely.
