Manly forward Glenn Stewart faces four-to-six-week ban at NRL judiciary

August 30, 2010
Manly lock Glenn Stewart may have played his last match for the season, after being hit with a grade five striking charge by the NRL judiciary.
Stewart appeared to strike Roosters captain Braith Anasta in the face with a cocked elbow during the Sea Eagles' 30-14 loss on Sunday at the Sydney Football Stadium, with commentators questioning why he wasn't sent off.

The former New South Wales and Test backrower is facing four weeks on the sidelines if he takes the early guilty plea or six matches should he fight the charge and lose.

The maximum six-week penalty would end Stewart's season, while if he cops a four week ban, the Sea Eagles would have to make the grand final for him to play again.

Roosters forward Daniel Conn copped a grade four charge for a careless high tackle from the same match, however he's facing just a week's suspension if he takes the early guilty plea.

What was he thinking? if he gets 6 weeks he will be out for the first 4 rounds next year, the way manlys playing at the moment.
Can a player use trial games for suspensions?

 

[zombie jesus]

Yeah I think 2 trial games will count.

 

[manly40gimps0]

Yeah I think 2 trial games will count.

dude, hope so.

 

[manly40gimps0]

I've come to terms with fact that B Stewart may never play for Manly again. If he's found to be guilty and doesn't do time the board should give the arse immediately.
If he's not guilty I can't wait to see him back tearing it up again.

 

[cupid]

Just not our season.

 

[Sea_Eagles_Rock]

According to the radio he has taken the early plea.

Maybe Jason King too, his record isn't clean.

If you want to know why some other supporters hate Manly look no further than Matai. He is a cheap shot merchant, especially when the other player can't defend himself. This is not just one of those seasons to write off. There is some very worrying aspects at Manly. Some players in the team are very ill disciplined. I always thought Hasler was a disciplinarian and was strict on the players.

Thanks for the analysis champ. To be honest we don't really care why you hate Manly.
What Matai did was stupid but he was there when we won the comp and goes well besides the odd brain snap.

I'd worry about the dragons annual choke-a-thon if I was you. Far more to worry about there. You may get your comfortable win next week, but w3 you will be c&cky. And the one thing I enjoy watching is a c&cky Dragons side get beat.

Hi Guys,

Don't write off next Sunday just yet, even though I believe the Saints will win at Kogarah.I think it may be closer than people realise.

Manly is a class act. A club with a lot of pride, and rightly so. I firmly believe you guys are going to be harder to beat than Canberra, even with a couple of players out.

I can't wish you guys good luck, but rather a good game and may the refs not have an undue impact on this match.

Best wishes, yes even you Sea Eagles Rock.
GO

Yeah i can really see what your talking about but of course when daniel conn took off brent kites head that wasnt a cheap shot because manly are the only club which perpetrates these cheap shots.

well.. this has shocked me to my core.. i will be supporting another team from now on..

goodbye manly, you "cheap shot merchant myths"..

[muzby]

i made the call the other week after the dragons v eagles game that it seemed like hasler had coached a bit of high tackling into the team.. it's just a shame that it's come to a head at the end of the season..

would rather a game played between two complete sides rather than one ravaged by suspensions..

 

[silverfox]

matai 7 weeks - king one week

 

[Nice Beaver]

Farrar to centre and Hopoate to fullback for mine.

I guess Perry plods back into the starting side and Vic Mauro to the bench.

If Galuvou is out I'd go nuts and throw Tony WIlliams on the bench with Whare on the wing (assuming Whare's still not injured.....)

Look out Dragons !!! :sarcasm:
