Judiciary Charges

[Ranga]

On the flip side...AFB gets a two-week rest (and let's face it, he's been doing a butt-load of work) and we get to bring in one of our many young guns - who will be raring to get a shot at the big league...Tanginoa, Boyle, Paseka, Perrett...all desperate to work their way back into the team.

AFB has already spent some time on the sideline this year, so I reckon he does not need the rest. Besides, he looks so fit this year - he is a beast!

UPDATE - AFB is fighting the charge tomorrow night! Fingers crossed!

Fonua-Blake will contest his high-tackle charge at the NRL judiciary on Tuesday in an attempt to face St George Illawarra on the weekend. Fonua-Blake was charged with a grade-one high tackle charge for his shot on Newcastle halfback Mitchell Pearce on Saturday.

Good to see we are at least having a go at trying defend this one. Now all we need is for @Ranga and @FlyingHigh to get him off so he can smash some powder puffs...

Disgusting to hear in that article that AFB was racially taunted as he left the field.
Wouldn't expect any less from that club.

If that was Inglis or another higher profile player it would be on the back page. F.... hypocrisy at its finest. Nrl still a Joke run by inept clowns.

Go Manly, fight for your players

Just for the record, Pearce in pre 13th April match promo has black eye

This is great.

Wayne Cousins and other manly officials!!! Attention!!

Pearce had a shiner before the game as evidenced by the knights own website.

Imagine if that had happened at Brooky (not that it would), Tiddles would be frothing at the mouth and the press baying for blood.

I’m sure the NRL will be rushing to investigate the incident or maybe there were too many offenders to interview.

How can a slap 60cms above the ground be a 'high tackle'????

Drugcastle high

This is what Pearce would have looked like if AFB gave him a shiner as he fell

His black eye shows that it was already at the healing stage

Cameron Murray hit Isaac Luke with a worse hit forcing him to undergo an HIA towards the end of the game which definitely cost his team the game and all he copped was a penalty, oh I forgot , that's right he plays for the pride of the league, stupid me.

 

[Ryan]

AFB would have to be as small as the goalie in the attached clip (love it so much , watched it 1,000 times) to tackle any lower.

Remember the who-ha when Sam Kasiano was allegedly racially slurred at Brookie back in (I think) 2015 or 2016?

Not racial but social slur - his wife was allegedly called a dole bludger from the west

No Club's Fanbase is immune from prejudiced views

The media reported it as something racial IIRC. Shows just how distorted the facts can be when the media get hold of a story.

Fans were also wrongly accused of spitting at Barba.

But it was just the water from the bottles thrown his way
