Who plays hooker next week.....

[wombatgc]

Look its bad but young suli killing it in centres. Backline i keep the same with trent at 6.
Jorge back also, look left field run matt wright at 9 he a good footballer i say.

I like it. With everything going on with last nights game, let's not forget his brilliant try. Be honest, who in their right mind thought 1. That ball was going to straighten out and stay in the field of play, and 2. That Matt Wright would not only chase the bloody thing, but would beat the Storm players to the ball! He's going better than I thought he would.

 

[Bubbler]

Hastings at 9 alongside Hodko and DCE at 6 and 7. We would suddenly be spoilt for last tackle options!

 

[Nordburg]

So how do we fair with the draw and State of Origin duties? (Assuming that at least Jake & Tom are picked (And possibly Api))?

Will there be any games where they are actually missing from our squad? Or just ultra short turnarounds backing up a 2-4 days later?

Korisau no chance of Origin.But I also suspect he won’t miss any games from last nights incident

NRL website has Matt Wright with Hamstring Injury TBC & unfortunately Austin is back fro Raiders today.

 

[BrendonStarr]

So if M Wright is out, and Taufua is back, possibly T Wright back on the bench, or Parker if he is fully recovered?

 

[Simonmyers11]

Api charged with grade one. Will miss a week. Big loss, dont see us winning without him.

Scott grade 3. Only 3 weeks. Walker to miss 6

Absolute bull^%*t. So we lose 2 players through no fault of our own. Melb 1 - Us 0
Joke

Scott will only get 2 if he goes early guilty plea according to NRL.com.

Scott has received a 28-point discount (one point for each minute he was sent off), otherwise he would have been facing a maximum of four games on the sidelines.

How the f..k do you get a discount, sounds like the bs judges dole out when some druggie kills someone and shows remorse.

 

[KNUCKLES]

Don't hold back mate. lol

Haha ay.. tell us what you really think

 

[Ned]

Maybe Tom wright to hooker with API out

This Scott decision is beyond a joke in my opinion - a travesty of justice "NRL style." Scott's action was, in effect, a coward's punch or "king hit" because of the current rule that punching is never allowed on the field. Accordingly, Dylan Walker was totally unprepared for this vicious punch to the face resulting in a fractured eye socket. I am disgusted!

 

[pt73]

I bet Walks would have got 6-8 if the roles had been reversed.

More anti Manly garbage from NRL.

 

[nightster]

Scott should miss at least as many games as Walker .... and Fainu in for Api for mine

 

[sheridanstand78]

So you can king hit someone, break their eye socket and the sum penalty is 2 weeks suspension and for sticking up for your mate you get a week for a nothing punch. Scott should have done 4 weeks minimum for that punch, we lose a player for nearly six weeks. Manly loading alive and kicking!!!

 

[Sea Eagles Rock U]

Walker should sue the pr##k! In the context of what happened it was just common assault. It wasn't an injury received in the course of the game. Ask Big Marn about it.

 

[pt73]

Considering what jersey Api was wearing I guess were lucky he didn't get 6 weeks for having the gall to punch a Storm player.

 

[Woodsie]

Walker should sue the pr##k! In the context of what happened it was just common assault. It wasn't an injury received in the course of the game. Ask Big Marn about it.

... or as a hypothetical ..... given Walker is likely covered by medical Insurance .... the insurance company also sues Scott ..... as well as Manly sues for loss of Walkers services .....

 

[highlandeagle]

Not sure if Fainu is in the top 30. If Jorge is back Matt wright and Poo should split the hooking role for mine.

Matt wright and poo? Is that a joke. Canberra will destroy us up the middle.

From SMH. Com

Walker, sporting an almost instant swollen black eye, was also given 10 minutes in the bin but has not faced any further charge.

He will however spent at least six weeks on the sideline after it was confirmed that he had a fractured eye socket.

The Sea Eagles' Koroisau Apisai, whose flying punch connected with Scott in the same brawl, faces a grade one striking charge, which carries a base penalty of two matches, although that can be reduced to one with an early plea.

Asofa-Solomona Nelson was also charged for a careless high tackle on Jake Trbojevic, which carries a $1500 fine if found guilty (or $1100 with an early plea).
