Well here I am, selfishly happy Oka is fresh to kick some Titans ass on Sunday

So is Smole in trouble?

So is Smole in trouble?

Sounds like it , don't know what length of suspension he is going to get

 

[Captain Moondog]

So is Smole in trouble?

Yep.

 

[master blaster]

I just looked up the charge sheet and there is nothing..Yet

Give him a week for stupidity if you must, but anything more than that is absurd.
Claims he rushed in and blah blah are BS. He strolled over and had a little push and shove with Holmes. Big deal. The entire QLD bench got involved, as did Burto who was 18th man.
I get he was 19th man and not taking the field, but he didn't flog anyone. A fine, or a week max, should suffice.


Ps. It is possible my Manly / NSW bias is showing.

if this happens, Manly should immediately appeal it. He came in trying to separate the players spilling over the sideline. Can't we just let it all go..good grief, talk about being over governed.

 

[Hertera]

Talk is he will be suspended. I'm dirty what was nsw thinking having him on the bench? He should have been in the grandstand.

There’s a post on Twitter (X) saying four weeks with an early guilty plea if he is charged, due to priors.

I don’t know how true that is but you can bet he will cop at least a week. The NRL will want to send a strong message to junior leagues and park football that spectators should not get involved.

That doesn't surprise me
And watch no QLD bench players or officials get charged

If he gets four weeks for that there should be a fuken riot. No one from the bench got more than 3 weeks in the battle of Brooky brawl and that was WAY more ferocious. He should be getting a fine at most, but I won't be surprised to see us get shafted again by the NRL muthafukers.

 

[Lyonstomenzies]

He may be in trouble as he didn’t grab NSWs players and pull them back, he grabbed Valentine Holmes and pulled him back.

If he gets involved but only pulls his teammates away there is no issue.

I’m expecting him to get a huge fine or a couple of weeks.

Charge sheet just released - Ola gets two weeks with an early plea. Fuken BS! For that!!! He was breaking up a fight.

Ugggh how annoying.

Great game with a lil Origin spice, let it go

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.

 

[Hertera]

He was breaking up a fight.

He wasn't in the game had no right to get involved. He was a spectator so no excuse. My blame is with the NSW management what was he doing anywhere hear incident he should have been in the grandstand.

100% correct.
You can't have spectators getting involved with on field stuff, at any level.

NSW management dumb, Ola even dumber.

The only loser is Manly, again.
