Karl Lawton has been charged with a Grade 3 Dangerous Throw. Facing 4-5 weeks on the sideline

---

JOIN THE #KEVOLUTION

Thought as much, the pile-on about the tackle virtually guaranteed a grade 3.

Karl Lawton was sent off because it was a bad tackle. but 15 years ago it would have been ok. Workplace safety has really affected sports. Rugby league has gone soft. No more rucking in rugby and now guys lay on the wrong side of the ruck because you cannot ruck them out of there. when there was rucking no one would lay on the wrong side as they knew they would get sprig marks all over them. The boundaries brought in for cricket to stop players sliding in the fence etc. Probably food things to a certain extent but my view is if you don't want to get hurt then don't play the games etc. And on Lawton, he was sent off because the Sea Eagles were NOT playing the Warriors. if they were playing the Warriors he would have just been put on report. There is only 2 possible ways a player can get sent off for a tackle like that. 1) If he is a Warriors Player, and 2) If he is not playing the Warriors.

I want to have my say about Karl Lawton

Some games he can make a real contribution to a win. Most games he is mediocre. And other days he is a real liability. Case in point his send off in the last match.
I was surprised when a major team like Manly took him and felt that was an error in judgement.
He is the sort of player who coaches and management over rates.
When he played for the warriors the coaching staff bent over backwards to keep him in the starting 13 including giving him second row positions ahead of specialist back rowers.
I think he must talk a good game off the field and be likeable as he is given way more opportunities than anyone else with the same amount of talent.
Dump him Manly and you won't look back.

I want to fold some Kents

 

[Fozz]

Ref has been blowing the pea out of the whistle. Really boring game

 

[Harry Sack]

The hell was Rapana thinking?

 

[Super Freak]

Unlucky Rapana.

It was raining pretty heavily last night and that field will still be a bit slippery.

Dolphin Oval is a **** of a field to play on when it’s wet.

 

[broncos4life]

Rapana is hopeless, looks like a drunk bloke from the crowd is playing FB.

 

[Super Freak]

Not sure why Johnson isn’t putting floaters up for Rapana.

 

[I bleed Maroon]

These two teams are destined for bottom 4 along with the Dogs. If it weren't for all the points scored it would be in the running for worst game of the year so far

 

[Super Freak]

Kotoa is close to getting hooked, surely.

He’s made some bad errors for the Warriors coming out of their end.

 

[Super Freak]

That’s a raised elbow.

What a stupid decision by Lodge.

 

[Harry Sack]

That’s a raised elbow.

What a stupid decision by Lodge.

Such a dumb player.

 

[I bleed Maroon]

Has Lodge even been that decent for the Warriors stats wise?

 

[Super Freak]

Walsh catches a ball that’s coming straight to him and the commentators are creaming their pants.

 

[Broncapz]

Losing to the Warriors is the kind of thing that costs you a spot in the 8.

 

[Super Freak]

Just let them punch on.

 

[BroncsFan]

Just let them punch on.

Would make this game slightly more interesting... what a dumpster fire of a second half

 

[Super Freak]

Warriors give away another penalty for raising an elbow..
