Just heard he has copped two weeks for abusing the ref - will make their task a whole lot harder to beat us.

"Cheers Badger, it is fun seeing the youngsters go well in those teams. Now we need to convert them to Eels first graders."
"Yep Coryn, I think development reliant clubs that invest heavily in development need more protection from the NRL.I don't know what that protection looks like other then expanding on the $5000 poaching fee or 10% of the top 30 contract. At the end…"
"Your last sentence is an interesting one Kenny, that when i think about it, could ring true to a degree. Although some must have that capability with 60 Panthers Pathway juniors contracted to other NRL clubs right now. Thats a massive contribution…"
In recent times, it is becoming obvious that the power brokers at the Eels see our junior pathways, as our path to future glory and probably rightly so. We see new full time coaching staff / Eels scouts across the country and scholarships for…

Adam Fanua Blake has been nearly their best player each week, a massive blow for Manly and will really hurt their go forward
I noticed that too. Korisau did not miss and yet no charge?? The MRC is pathetic.
Yeah can hear the excuses now
With or without their best we are a much better side than them. Fuck em
The bloke is a gun footballer but a human shitstain.
I laughed at he it's not part of Manlys culture. He's been sacked from tow other clubs for being a lowlife. But of course Manly took him.
I got banned from a certain site for calling this grub out for what he is. The Admin obviously on the piss, didn't like it when he challenged me and didn't like my response in return. LOL
What site lol?
That's awesome. Turbo and AFB down. That will make Manlys chances slim.
I would always want to play a side at full strength then there are no excuses. I keep saying I like my footy fair. I saw a couple of replays of the push that stopped the try. It was deffenently a try gone begging and they were robbed. I'm assuming this is what he blew up about. We all know Manly struggle a bit without Tommy T. Knights seem to have lost their mojo a bit and hasn't Ponga played 2 shockers since being signed for skillions. 🏉

My first thought is two weeks is harsh. With all the emotion and his thoughts on the call maybe he should be given some latitude.
But then I thought about it some more and in today's PC world he was probably very lucky the nrl only consider ableism 2-3 weeks. I suspect they would place another form of discrimination, as a bigger crime.
I mean, look, im only assuming here, but if he had been racist instead of ableist he probably would have got more than 2 weeks. Brings about some questions, does the NRL, and perhaps the world in general (subconsciously) place some lives above others? Is the nrl saying ableism isn't as bad as racism?
This is all assuming the nrl would suspend a player for longer than 2 weeks if he was racist. I'm thinking they most certainly would.
For what it's worth, perhaps unsurprisingly in 2020 like just about everyone on the planet I think racism is abhorrent. But then I think back to my first thought (as above) and I start to question myself too.
Final point, if all lives matter equally should AFB have got (much) longer than 2 weeks? Or is that over thinking it?
