Bullsh*t charge. He hit him above the knee. De Belin gets off with a textbook hip drop. NRL lottery again.

Very well said. The poor fella will be stuck on 99 NRL games, too. Played two matches for the Warriors and the rest at Manly.
A victim of his own clumsiness in the end, he’s got a few suspensions in recent times for tackles gone a bit wrong (including that one when he was himself concussed).
Never lacks heart or effort though, Toff has been a valued squad member. A few times seemed on the cusp of having a breakout season but it never quite happened.

From the Sea Eagles:
"Sea Eagles prop Toafofoa Sipley is challenging a Grade 2 Dangerous Contact charge in a bid to play against the Warriors on Friday night.
The popular 30-year-old is hoping to have the grading reduced from Grade 2 to Grade 1.
If successful Sipley will be free to make his 100th NRL appearance on Friday night before heading the UK Super League next season."
Great news, good luck to him!

"Manly Warringah Sea Eagles prop Toafofoa Sipley will finish his time at Manly stuck on 99 NRL games after failing to have a dangerous contact charge downgraded at the NRL Judiciary."
This sucks and a sad way to end his career at Manly. Great guy, has always been a great clubman and is always smiling. All the very best Sips!

Seriously, how could that be 3 week suspension.
Suks for Sipley.
He made the most of his talent and always gave 100% for Manly.
Thanks for you service Sips!
Shame it took him half a season to finally get match fit most years or he would have cracked the 100 easily. On the positive side we will most likely see the debut of Laiafi or DJ that plenty on here have wanted.

I would have thought Schoupp slots right back in
I don’t see much point putting Schoupp on the bench considering he won’t be at the club next year & we can’t make finals. Having 2 props in the 18-21 has me thinking it will be 1 of them but could be wrong

Not sure they’d lose a prop and replace them with an outside back/part time back rower,especially given the 14 jumper is being wasted by having a half back there.I know the season is basically over,but Seibold will be desperate for a top 8 scalp to finish the year and keep the wolves at bay,for a short time anyway
