Tof Sipley

The least the club should do is challenge the charge in the hope we can send him off this Friday at Brookie. If we fail at the judiciary it doesn't cost us anything.

Bullsh*t charge. He hit him above the knee. De Belin gets off with a textbook hip drop. NRL lottery again.

Yeah, posted this in the post-match thread, but I reckon he knew he was playing his last minutes in a Manly jersey when he came back on, which is why he played so hard. Full credit to him, but it's a real shame he won't get to go out with one last game at Brookvale.

I've always had a a soft spot for Sips. Great smile, always full of laughter and life, and seemed like a terrific guy to have around the club. Completely understand why it's good for him and the club to move on, and wish him nothing but the best in the UK.

Very well said. The poor fella will be stuck on 99 NRL games, too. Played two matches for the Warriors and the rest at Manly.

A victim of his own clumsiness in the end, he’s got a few suspensions in recent times for tackles gone a bit wrong (including that one when he was himself concussed).
Never lacks heart or effort though, Toff has been a valued squad member. A few times seemed on the cusp of having a breakout season but it never quite happened.

From the Sea Eagles:

"Sea Eagles prop Toafofoa Sipley is challenging a Grade 2 Dangerous Contact charge in a bid to play against the Warriors on Friday night.
The popular 30-year-old is hoping to have the grading reduced from Grade 2 to Grade 1.
If successful Sipley will be free to make his 100th NRL appearance on Friday night before heading the UK Super League next season."

Great news, good luck to him!

Except legal fees of $10k +

A precedence has been set a few years ago with James Tamou,obviously the charges are different,but they bent the rules to give him a farewell game,which he promptly changed his mind to play on again the following season
