Not enough is being made of brett Stewart running in from 40 metres with a flying punch to blairs head .

He missed...

Think most of us in here agree with you there.

 

[Big Pete]

Crap call there.

Thought the ball went forward.

 

[user_nat]

He missed...

If they only punished punches that connect, no one would ever be sent.

 

[skeepe]

Chicken wing, grapple etc. Do I need to go on?

Which of those deserves 5 laying into one guy?

 

[Pete Cash]

He missed...

Does it matter. All those who dogged Blair need to see at least a few weeks. It was an absolute disgrace to the code.

 

[Mr Saab]

I don't condone it in anyway, but I don't think Blair would have thrown a punch if Stewart didn't.
They both deserve to be suspended. Stewart more so, I could handle Balir not getting charged.

They will both get 2 weeks at least

 

[Snappy]

Chicken wing, grapple etc. Do I need to go on?

5 on 1 = dirty pack of mongrel dogs

 

[Brutus]

I reckon Stewart was ready to share a smile and a chat with Blair until Blair incited the whole thing with abuse.

Stewart instantly reacted with a hay maker.

Lussak was the one who started the entire thing and filthy prick should have been given 10 minutes at the start of it all.

 

[Ladmate]

More Manly players should have been binned or sent off, absolutely disgraceful. I expect rightful suspensions from them.

 

[skeepe]

He missed...

And that's a bloody good thing, because he could have killed him if he didn't.

Face facts, your team are scum. Stop trying to defend the indefensible.

 

[Mayor West]

So 2 guys originally get put in the bin for running in 5 metres and throwing punches but 4 Manly players run over 30 metres to get involved and throw punches at a guy on the ground and there is nothing done? unbelievable.

That Lussick is just scum. Just cause it's a footy field doesn't mean you can hit people on the ground who are covered up by 4 other players. If that happened out on the street, Lussick could go to jail ffs!

 

[age.s]

Storm are shell shocked here. That whole episode looks to have rattled them.

 

[Pete Cash]

Melbourne are playing really dumb here. I wouldn't want to be in the sheds when Bellamy gives the half time talk.

 

[CliffyIsGod]

If they only punished punches that connect, no one would ever be sent.

They did connect, a few anyway...

 

[carlosthedwarf]

Imagine if Sika Manu had been on the field for all of that as well. Grub city

 

[CliffyIsGod]

Good work Robbo.

 

[Pete Cash]

Beauty of a hit by Robertson.

 

[chrisD]

Such drama queens, Lussack was a cheap dog bitch but the rest that ran in were just smothering the fight.

 

[GongPanther]

Blair should have walked off and that would've given time for Stewart to have been off the field.

But Blair decided to run off and when he caught up with Stewart,it seemed that he was provoking Stewart.

I don't blame Stewart for punching the idiot ( and for all that Stewart knew,how would he know that Blair wasn't going to king hit him)after that being that we don't know what was said but you can bet it was something provocative from Blair.

Brilliant first half by the Manly side in leading 14-0 at half time.
