Lawton a gun

[MissKate]

This hurts to say, credit to the Souths players not running in start a push/shove bitch slapping melee unlike the panthers and raiders. Probably helped Manly to keep focus and show what they can do.

That’s because mitchell wasn’t playing, he would have been straight in

Someone was always going to sent off this weekend, after the outrage all week.

The NRL are so damn reactionary.

 

[eaglebuzz]

The only reason I think the send off was harsh was because it happened so early in the match, not because the tackle didn't arguably deserve it. Definitely needed at least 10 in the bin but the send off was probably a bit much given it was only the 9th minute. The 4 week suspension seems about right though.


Shame that it cost us a chance to win last night but I think the character the boys showed for each other in the adversity was worth the loss, it could really galvanise them and be a chance to build some starch for the next time we play a side like the Panthers or Storm.

Lawton just got done with a Grade 3 4 weeks minimum

One thing Lawton can spend time on during his holiday is better tackle technique. Drive thru the body into the ground and not to stand up.

Speed off the mark to give Manly an edge when he plays hooker and quick passing.

Jack Wighton dangerous throw didn’t even get a sin bin he is facing 2 -3 weeks , The difference I think being 2 in the tackle

If manly that is bonus 2 send offs from one tackle.

I feel for Lawton because it's not his go...no malice but a big consequence.

At least Wighton was charged and will miss matches. Shows some sort of consistency.

10 minutes / grade 2 every other club

NO sin bin and $1000 fine for an elbow straight to the head.

The whole system needs to be burnt down. whether nice guys or not there are serious problems.

 

[patorick2010]

First thought watching live: he'll be sent off for that.

After watching several replays over the weekend: the send off was 100% correct.

4-6 weeks at least.

Hope he (and the rest of the team) learn from this and it never happens again.

The games tough enough without blokes getting dropped on the back of their neck.

 

[patorick2010]

No benefit to comparing it to other incidents over the weekend.

Get everyone wants Manly to do well, but that was a clear send off, no matter what minute of the game or who we're playing.

End of discussion.

You know better than that. We've got active threads in this forum that pre-date the existence of the internet.

And the internet is really old

I couldn’t believe he didn’t get sent for that. At the very least a sin bin.
Blocker was right in his assumption. Should’ve been sent . Does he have to break the blokes jaw to get sent?

 

[Shoe1]

Can’t believe I’m not hearing “not his go” re lodge. He is a peace-loving individual after all right?

Yes, as in "im going to tear you all to peaces, this is the night you die".
