Manly may win but Williams and Matai are gone

[East Coast Tiger]

Didn't think Williams' was bad. If he doesn't have any carry-over and pleads guilty he might play. Any charge for Matai and he's gone though.

 

[carlosthedwarf]

Typical grub Manly acts

 

[innsaneink]

Really ? I don't think it was on purpose.

It just seems like he was committed, and the knees were unfortunate.

That was my first reaction too.
But most high shots also arent on purpose...thats why they have careless, reckless etc

 

[saint_marto88]

I'd rather see them in the GF.

That makes you a merkin

 

[Danish]

So you can definitively say that Matai intended to hurt Yow Yeh with the Knees ?

He doesnt have to mean to hurt him with them, he just has to mean to have hit him with them.

He was lunging with both knees/feet to try and stop the player scoring. He must be cited (and with his record suspended)

 

[Jubileeboy]

Who cares....they beat the red-necks

 

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

There's no way Catai can get off.

The Williams one I'd have no real problem with but the Catai knees was grubby

 

[HowHigh]

They should both be suspended but Williams' was a clear high shot.
Matai will get off just because its the grandfinal

 

[The.X.Factor9]

Matai actually threw his knees out in front of his body FFS.

He was going for a slater-esque slide tackle, trying to stop a try and got him flush with both knees.

Any other time of year and it would be a 4+ week suspension. For a GF they'll probably give him a week or 2

Ok I retract my statement :sarcasm:

Pretend I didnt say anything LOL.

Makes no sense

 

[redvwhite]

Both of them gone. One thug in Matai trades places with Stewart.

 

[wittyfan]

5 weeks for Catai me thinks.

Rules should be rules.

But yeah they will both most probably get off because its a grand final. :crazy:

 

[northwest9]

both will play.

its manly, its grand final, they will play

 

[Liddell]

Williams should be right.

Matai, well he'll be watching the GF from the stands.

 

[innsaneink]

They just showed it again on super slo-mo....Yow Yeh is out before he hits the deck.
Williams should go, deliberate swinging arm....2 weeks at leats

 

[Pittwater Legend]

Williams will miss the big one I think. Matai might as well thanks largely to previous offences.

 

[Penrose Warrior]

Makes no sense

It doesn't, but it does....and it will. Sliding scale - goes regular season, halved for finals, halved again for GF, halved once more or ignored for Origin (depending on level of superstar)

 

[Bman26]

I thought Williams was way worse than Matai, closed fist swinging arm that hit him flush on the jaw....

 

[Charles Bronson]

I don't either because he's not a cat, will be sad for him to miss out a GF especially after the performances he has put out in recent form.

catai on the other hand, the guy can't go one game without being a cat.
