Matai & T-Rex cleared to play

[anzac7]

It really is ridiculous ... you start to get the feeling that you know what the answer will always be for teams like Manly...

I had no trouble becoming a temporary Warriors fan after they won on Saturday night. However, after this incident I will actually be cheering hard for the Warriors to win.

Breaking news! NRL Match Review Committee have today charged Jharal Yow Yeh with 2 offences out of Friday night's preliminary final loss to Manly. He was charged with Grade 2 Headbutting The Fist and Grade 3 Attempting To Score A Try In The Corner.

Yow Yeh will be jailed for 10 years, with a non-parole period of at least 5.

I read that one of the reasons Matai got off was because they said that Yow Yeh's reaction made it look worse than it was. WTF!!!!!!

Speaking of which, there was mention of broken ribs, any truth in that?

When asked, Yow Yeh said, via his manager, "I wish Manly well"...

On the League Lounge last night, most of the panel said Matai didn't try to stop.

One said he changed direction from hitting his ribs his hitting his liver. :haha:

I was expecting Yow to limp off a few times during that game, damn the kid has some guts.

He had more guts, until the Matai knees got some of it.

8/10 for the thought. 4/10 for the execution ;-)

In Fitlers defense he is missing a chromosome.

Is it just me or does Freddy have an agenda against the Broncos?

Constantly tips against us and on the same show was trying to discredit the Broncos performance suggesting Manly put the foot off the peddle.

That said, after our first week win he was the only one on the Sunday Roast who said the Broncos were the best team of the finals so far.

I don't think he has an agenda against us. I don't think he could spell agenda to be quite honest.

I don't think he can spell, period...

Manly centre Steve Matai is free to play in the grand final after the boss of NRL's much-criticised match review panel said the reaction of injured Bronco Jharal Yow Yeh made the Sea Eagles' actions seem worse.


"He (Yow Yeh) was winded rather than suffered any injury to the ribs," McCallum said.

"I think people just assumed both knees hit him, but one knee didn't make contact at all, it was only the second knee, which was his right knee. Matai led with his foot to try and stop the ball being put down. We were satisfied that he didn't (drop his knees)."

Since when did McCallum become a Dr.

And isn't it against the rules to use your foot/leg to try & stop a try.

So it's now OK to use just 1 knee. (IMO: They have just set a precedent)

 

[Jeba]

That's ridiculous. This and the Thurston incident are evidence that McCallum deserves the sack.

 

[Dexter]

The Broncos and YY should be publicly demanding an apology from McCallum for basically calling YY a diver / faker.

I cannot get past this and I am shocked it hasn't been picked up by league commentators, since when is a charge determined by the damage it causes or by the reaction of the player.

This guy represents everything I hate about NSW and how they run things to suit there own agendas.

Gary Freeman is worse. He tipped against us in weeks 1-3 of the finals. At least Daily thought we'd smoke the Dragons but not the whizz.
