Who’s they? The MRC?

Bs..what source. If so Manly will appeal it straight away.

Anyway, he's already been punished...

Olakau’atu was dismissed from the ground – and later banned from joining his NSW teammates lift the State of Origin shield

So it should be done and dusted.

Bloody journos

"Brawl" , "Fight" , all in "Melee" - none of this happened unless you count the 'fight' the journos had in trying to win the most over-sensationalised headline.

Typical tossbags - hype everything up into a powder keg only to tsk tsk over some pushing and shoving.

Lemme guess... Next Manly v storm game.... "battle of Brookvaaaaaaaaaaale!!!"

"Brawlers" - give me a break. No one was hurt, no punches were thrown, but we'll get the nrl sticking their heads in (while claiming the mrc are independent) just to take the gloss off a good third game.

The nrl should watch themselves. If they keep wanting their SOO cash cow to fill their silk lined pockets whilst their snouts are fully immersed in caviar and champagne - but punish those in clubland, then those in clubland should start having their star players come down with injuries to avoid SOO altogether.

 

[LeonardCohen]

If he'd come in throwing punches or something then sure, but all I've seen is him walking over and pulling a guy back

I’ll bet my house he is suspended.

 

[LeonardCohen]

Before the game, the media want to bring back the theatre of Origin. During the game, it’s just a bit of push and shove, let them go. After the game, it’s a brawl, a bad look and not good for the image of the game.

 

[Frogz]

What’s the bet we will be minus Olakau’atu this weekend now, NRL will find a week or 2 for him

It was just a stupid thing to do. If lack of brains account for anything, he should get 2 weeks.

A whopping ten players have been hit with fines or bans following a heated State of Origin Game III.

Eight players were penalised for the all-in melee, while Kurt Capewell was fined twice for incidents in the first half – the first a dangerous throw, the latter for dangerous contact.

NSW 18th man Haumole Olakau’atu has been hit with a two-game ban (three if he fights and loses at the NRL Judiciary), as has Cameron Murray.

NRL Judiciary Report: Kiwi games counted in NAS ban

Storm prop Nelson Asofa-Solomona will only miss one game at the start of the 2025 season after it was ruled that three of New Zealand's Pac Champs game would count as part of his ban.

Never said I had a source. So 3 weeks (2 early plea) so hardly BS. Manly will not appeal he was a spectator who involved himself in a melee.

Was dumb all around will derail us.

 

[davohan123]

well this game becomes a danger game now
ola is now going to be out for 4 weeks
2 weeks suspension and then then bye off for 2 weeks
crazy

Seek downgrade to Grade 2? Then no games missed if successful.

First, you said they are talking 4 weeks. Just asking where you're info/source was on this. Just found out it'll be 2weeks with the early guilty plea.

 

[davohan123]

this game becomes a 50/50 now
Oka out is a huge blow if he doesn't contest the charge

 

[nightster]

Yes but it'll be a line in the sand moment...we get lots of them with the NRL now, who work tirelessly to keep a squeaky clean public image.

While promoting the brutality 🤷‍♂️
