Manly hit with $10,000 breach notice

Manly have been hit with a $10,000 breach notice by the NRL over coach Des Hasler's approaches to match officials following Sunday's controversial loss to the New Zealand Warriors in Auckland.
It's believed Hasler visited the referees room three times and was involved in a heated debate with video referee Chris Ward, discussing Ward's decision not to allow a first half try to Manly winger Michael Robertson due to an obstruction.
Hasler was also reported to have spoken to a touch judge at halftime as the Sea Eagles slumped to their second straight loss with a 36-14 defeat.
NRL rules state that under no circumstances are match officials to be approached, questioned, or harassed in any way by club officials either during or after a match.
Hasler was critical of Ward's decision in his post-match press conference but those well-publicised comments did not trouble the NRL.
"Coaches are certainly permitted to give their opinions on refereeing decisions at the post-match media conference and to take up matters with the referees' coach in the days after the event," NRL chief operating officer Graham Annesley said.
"There is always an element of emotion around game day and it is not the time to conduct a productive analysis.
"The rules governing this have been in place for a considerable time and all coaches are aware of them."
Manly have five days in which to make any submissions in relation to the breach notice after which the NRL will decide whether the $10,000 fine will be enforced.

They should just keep complaining and ignore the whole fine thing...maybe the refs would pull their heads in.

Fair enough as you cant approach the officials!!! Although I hope he gave the fools a good spray to make the $10k worthwhile.

It was a catch 22 for homer simpkins yesterday.

Even if manly managed to get the game I doubt Ivan would have stayed quiet on that forward pass. Homers eyes are dead set painted on.

Two huge f**kups in one game and how do they respond?

It was ment to be a try... but lets just fine them.

Hasler should have thrown the 10K at Chris Ward and then cracked him in the face before telling him "That's how we roll in this mofo, aiit"

Wasn't there already a topic on this? You don't have to create a new one for each new story you know.

Some d!ck started one saying that we could potentially see some fines, starting a new thread seems ok to me considering a breach has now been issued.
