I must admit I haven't cared enough to keep up with this story but has Marshall actually denied hitting the bloke? If not I can't fathom why the nrl hasn't taken action against him. I think Manly are well within their rights to blow up over this, i'd be demanding an apology from the nrl at the very least, seems Stewart got a raw deal and Marshall is getting a free pass
He is going to contest the charge ...so I figure that means he says he didn't do it.
The bloke probably asked for it.
The prior footage albeit very short and blurry shows Benji to be getting hassled ...he seems to be sober and handling the attention well.
Then who knows what happened?
All the same I can see Manlys side as well.
100k is heaps.
other clubs have been pressured to stand down blokes for stuff.
Manly didn't stand down Stewart ...so the NRL did.
That is the only way I can see it regardless of what dribble Gallop reckons.
