And there needs to be consistency as well if this is the case. Any brawl in origin will also need to be dealt with harshly as well. If they come down harshly they have set the precedent

Agree that there needs to be consistency as they allow alot more in Origin and different rules for club games. So if they ban a number of players after this incident, will they do the same for Origin? I doubt very much.......

Yeah TK and Tallis want the 4 Manly players that ran in crucified.

Excatly right, if this was a State of Origin, it would eb a classic.

We all know TK as an imbosile and anti Manly and Tallis is just a knob also.

Wait till we hear from Laurie Daley...and Roy masters, imagine his spin on it....

Get over it media wankers and get on with footy...The thing that actually pays your wages
