Haumole gone, DCE resurrected

[eagle66]

All I can say is,

 

[Will on the hill]

We can still plead guilty for both but challenge the grading without risking a 3rd match. If we get a downgrade it would be a fine only. Worth a shot considering there was no actual lifting from either player. Even if only one gets a downgrade it's a massive win.

Edit: this is incorrect, challenging grading would mean 3 weeks if unsuccessful.

You'd have to think Jake A will partner Brooks in the halves.

As for backrow, that's anyone's guess because we are very light on for depth there.

Exactly who is coming in

I cannot recall 2 players ever being charged for the same tackle in which one was binned for in the match. This NRL match review committee are a trainwreck. No consistency. No idea. We must fight it and have them expose their argument.

 

[Top End Eagle]

Well that's raiders and dolphins who will be the beneficiaries of this

We won't be winning the next 2 without ola and DCE

Surely we challenge this

Manly win both those games, Arthur will do a job and Brooks will step up, no Fogarty for the Raiders, Sipley back possibly and Bullemore on an edge, should be challenged but the team can win both those two if they're serious

Hopefully Sipley is fit, then Aloiai (who filled in when Guac was in the bin) or Bully can cover.

Nobody challenges anymore as nobody wins, it’s a kangaroo court the judiciary nowadays.

I agree with your thoughts though.

 

[BOZO]

2 games each with an early plea. What a joke

I agree feathered friend it is a Joke
But the Good news is that we can still have the last laugh

The Fact is that We are only truly tested in tough times
This is our tough time and our test of character
Test of character is to be able to take the challenge head on and prevail over Adversity
If we can learn to overcome Adversity
We can overcome any team on our way to Winning the Grand final

This is it
This is our moment
We seize it
and we Sour above Adversity like Unstoppable Premiership Winning Eagles

 

[Top End Eagle]

We have to fight this ! The NRL are taking the piss, particularly when it comes to Manly.

Step up (for once) Manly, and don't be lazy and take the early plea. Back your soldiers.

Sivo elbows Garrick in the head and gets nothing though ? Inept. Corrupt.

It's more likely the fifty to a hundred they would have to spend on a defence.

Judiciary Report: Olakau'atu, DCE facing bans for Lane tackle​

NRL.com
Sat 27 Apr 2024, 12:06 PM

Manly pair Haumole Olakau'atu and Daly Cherry-Evans are both facing two-game bans after they were charged with a Dangerous Throw on Eels forward Shaun Lane.

The duo have each been charged with a Grade 2 Dangerous Throw offence which attracts a two-game ban with an early plea or a three-game ban if they unsuccessfully contest the charge at the judiciary.

Parramatta pair Ryan Matterson and Maika Sivo were also charged from the game, with Matterson facing a $1,000 fine for his high tackle on Luke Brooks while Sivo is facing a $3,000 fine for his Dangerous Contact charge on Reuben Garrick.

Waste of time contesting it, huge legal fees , likelihood of success, very very low.

Step up Jake Arthur & hopefully Sipley is back , otherwise we have the living legend in Aaron Woods to do his bit !!

 

[Jethro]

It is dolphins in 2 week's time not Broncos but still get your point

1/2 then get ola and DCE back for magic round against Broncos

I will happily take that

If they fight the charge and lose, then they will also miss the 'Magic Round' match against the Broncos.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

The only thing that really really pisses me off is the 14 years as a cleanskin for DCE.

You’d think it would be

“ Normally this would be a 2-3 week suspension but given this player has had 14 years without a single charge on this occasion it’ll be a fine , and carry forward points “.

But no , let’s rub him out for 2 weeks.

****ing dickheads

 

[master blaster]

Well I knew somehow this would all get de- railed. What a fuking farce the nrl is.

And the grub Sivo only gets a fine and he is a serial offender, now thats really fair

 

[Will on the hill]

Can plead guilty but challenge the grading. Worst case scenario they still get 2 weeks and Penn is out of pocket for the legal costs. Worth it even for a long shot.

Edit: this is incorrect, challenging grading would mean 3 weeks if unsuccessful.

 

[davohan123]

So now it's ok to elbow anyone in the head
Only a $4000 dollar fine
I can get the nrl getting ola and DCE 2 weeks but nothing for sivo
Crazy

 

[Chunkytuna]

It's losing DCE that will really bring us back to the pack. Ola is outstanding but you can nurse yourself through a game without a weapon on an edge. It's the direction and kicking game that we will lack that hurts.

I’m interested to see who steps in? I’ve been wondering all year about what would happen if we had an injury or suspension. Wacom I guess??

 

[Karshy]

I think Olak should accept as the lift and throw was mainly him. DCE should challenge because the lift and throw was mainly Haumole. I've never seen the NRL charge the 2nd player in a tackle in these types of tackles. Total garbage from a likely salty Parra fan on the MRC.

 

[LeonardCohen]

It looks like they're exploring a challenge of the grading but losing that challenge does not mean you still get the 2 week early plea. If they are unsuccessful in downgrading the charge, they miss 3 games.
