FYI - Murray has taken the early guilty plea.
No word yet from Manly.

How the f**k Nanai gets away with a fine - when his "third man in" act started the whole thing - is beyond me.

It is mind boggling that we have lost one of our most important players for two big games from an Origin "brawl" that was barely a scuffle when he wasn't even in the team. He was 19th man. Why was he even there? I was shocked when Seibold said before the Newcastle game that he hadn't seen Haumole all week because he'd been with the Origin team. And now this.

100%, once again the NRL wanting to be seen as the bastion of being the sport that quickly clamps down on any perceived violence ie; push & shove etc, no matter how frivolous it comes across on the TV screen.

Was Haumole delusional?

Says " he saw red and went to kinda help and stop the fight".

There was no fight.

I saw fights in 78 at Manly Wests games. I have seen a few Origin fights 20 years ago. Nothing since Gallen belted Myles or who ever it was 10 years ago.

He heeds an urgent HIA.

We, Manly, could be thinking of mounting an appeal. The only thing that he's guilty of is trespassing onto the ground and separating the players. Hardly something to get 2 weeks off.

Mate cmon, he had Holmes by the collar.

I feel like if we can’t beat Titans at home on a Sunday arvo without Oka we wouldn’t deserve to make finals. If Paseka plays it would be a massive boost for us but realistically they are a bottom 8 team & we should be winning anyway. Brimson is also in doubt after pulling up with a sore groin.

Only positive from this is Oka will be fresh & have something to prove for the finals push

Titans are probably the form team of the comp at the moment imo. Amazing attack, defensive getting better each week.

And restraining Holmes by the look of it.

Grabbing a winger is also a blight on him and his character. If Holmes wasnt there I'd bet the ball boy was in danger.

Regardless to how tame his actions were, the dumba$s should have stayed off the field. Take the early plea and move on. They won't win an appeal as he's entered the playing field as a non participant of the game and put his hands on a player...

 

[Uber Eagle 72]

They should make the dumb ass pay a huge fine from his own pocket. I mean at least $10k. It was a stupid act. A non participating player should not be banned from playing. A huge fine is a sufficient deterrent for other players in the future….

It is billed as a war the players are revved up to behave on the field like it is a war and when someone treats it as one,people bleat.
NRL management and the Nana's are hypocrites.
Dumb decision,sure.

 

[HoldenV8]

Congratulations Haumole.....smh

Dumb. Absolutely bloody dumb.

 

[manlyfan76]

Pleanty of Qld suits in the melee

 

[sheridanstand78]

DCE started it, Nanai inflamed it into a brawl, yet no suspension! Bloody farce!!

 

[Snoz1976]

He didn’t do a great deal against the knights so think we will be fine.

 

[madmax]

Wow so much disdain for Olakau’atu! But as is the norm in here…..name calling & bagging our own. Like he cares what any of us think Lolol. Ok to be unhappy with what he did but to call him a meathead, dumb etc? Seriously guys…..so it’s gone from bagging DCE to Croker to Brown to Garrick to Trbo to Aloiai to Olakau’atu. Wow great supporter group!

I think you nailed it when you send "players".

 

[bob dylan]

Geez Buzz making sense on 360 about this.

He reckons Manly and Souths penalised unfairly by suspensions, both players should have been heavily fined.

Interesting.

Well they have won 3 in their last 3 so I can see what you’re saying, the warriors win was impressive by them for sure. But realistically the other 2 they’ve beat an out of form Sharks team & Parra (tied for last). The 2 weeks before that they lost the tigers & got embarrassed by bunnies. I couldn’t say they are the form team because I think they get pumped by any of the top 3 teams personally & we should be winning by at least a couple tries

You got a fair point mate.
