Two reports
I thought exactly the same thing. And then Sam Burgess almost got sent after Matai blatantly clotheslined his brother. And then Matai gets warned not to walk away or he'll keep on walking, and he does just that and still doesn't get sent.
Manly have taken grubbiness to a whole new low
Now lets see how favourably Fa'oso and Matai are treated by the judiciary.

This is the MELBOURNE STORM section - Post this manly shit elsewhereAlways carry a flagon of whiskey in case of snakebite and furthermore always carry a small snake - WC Fields
manly have gotten a free ride from the refs and judiciary for years, it's a suck-up attempt from the nrl over the brett stewart suspension in 2009. just look at the fight at brookvale between us and them and the penalties that came out of it in 2011 and you'll see that we were hit a LOT harder!
Every time I see Manly, I say the same thing about their salary cap. I notice a couple things in last night game. We know Lyon always questions they ref, but last night it seemed to be every time there was an issue, Lyon and a number of other players (Wattmough, Stewart, Foran and Cherry-Evans etc) came over to ask questions and just stand there. It looked like real intimation to me.
Also B. Stewart used the excuse that it was my brother when he ran over 50 metres and put a coat hanger on Adam Blair a couple of years ago and couple off. So Sam Burgess better be allowed to use the same excuse for his push last night.

Refs boss says NRL might review sin-bin

Referees boss Daniel Anderson says the NRL rules committee will discuss the prospect of using the sin-bin for repeated incidents of foul play, a move which could prevent a repeat of the attack South Sydney star Greg Inglis endured on Friday night.
Inglis was dumped on his head on three separate occasions in the Rabbitohs win over Manly at Brookvale Oval, Sea Eagles prop Richie Fa'aoso twice finding himself on report for lifting the Bunnies' No.1.
While Fa'aoso could be in line for an extended period on the sidelines when the NRL match review committee hands down its findings on Monday, Anderson admitted on ABC radio on Sunday that consideration had to be given to the idea of sin-binning players for repeated acts of foul play.
"I know there's repeated infringement sin-bin for hands on the ball or misdemeanours in the game. There isn't a current policy or process for continued foul play going in the sin-bin," Anderson said.
"It's something that we will have a chat about.
"It won't be something that will be done for next week, but we're always looking to make the game safer for the players."
Having conceded the referees erred by not sending Canterbury centre Krisnan Inu off for his dangerous throw on Inglis in round four, Anderson backed the decision not to march Fa'aoso.
"It's a big decision to sin-bin someone and it's a big decision to dismiss them from the field," Anderson said.
"The referees on Friday night, they tried to apply the same indicators (used on the Inu tackle) to the Richie Fa'aoso tackle, and it wasn't the same tackle.
"We don't want spear tackles but, in the end, they thought putting it on report was the right way.
"It was different to the Krisnan Inu tackle. It was a conventional tackle that obviously went very wrong."
Whatever charge Fa'aoso receives on Monday will be compounded by carry-over points from an incident earlier this year when the Sea Eagles prop was charged over a high tackle which concussed Gold Coast lock Ashley Harrison, while he will also have 20 per cent loading due to that offence.
His Sea Eagles teammate Steve Matai could receive a 100 per cent loading if he is charged over his high tackle on prop George Burgess, thanks to two high-tackle charges last year.
Should Matai be charged and suspended, it would be the 11th time in his career the Kiwi international has been suspended for a high tackle.
And yet WE cop it from the media

~unless your name's Billy Slater or you play for the Storm. The ref didn't hesitate in marching Bill against the Wabbits (fortunately there were only minutes remaining in that game).

Obviously the most important message that the nrl want to send is that it's ok to engage in as much foul play as you like, as long as you don't slow down anybody who could otherwise have gotten a quick play the ball which would have lead to a try.
Does anybody else see something wrong with this picture?

Gets nothing for that. Joke of a system.yourhero wrote:Manly were complete filth... Brett Stewart's elbow was a dog shot.
The refs made it abundantly clear that no matter what Manly did, penalty was sufficient. Joke...
