Adam Reynolds and Isaac Luke out of Next Weeks Clash

[Guest]

he is right though, Manly simply don't have the backrow depth at the moment, Buhrer/Stewart done for the season and Watmough playing with a torn bicep, their bench is a major weakness.

in our case Friend is a massive blow, he touches the ball more than any other player.

the judiciary will take around 3 seconds to overturn the Luke dangerous contact charge, hard to believe he has to front the judiciary and Matai wasn't even charged.

I still think based on Souffs from over the past few weeks they will need more than 1 or 2 injuries to other teams to get on top.
I watched them closely on Thursday night and they seem to really be struggling in attack ,they will struggle to break our line on Thursday night.

Also Fletch I find your comments interesting regarding Luke`s suspension.
Correct me if I am wrong but I didn't think a players was allowed to lash out with there legs whilst tackled, irrespective of wether he can see the player tackling him?

FPN got away with kicking out 2 weeks ago.

there was barely any contact when Luke kicked out, Ennis milked it for all it was worth, we would be furious if one of our players got done for a similar incident.

there is no way any judiciary will give Luke two weeks for that, especially that one of those weeks is a finals match.

That's correct, but you watch these grubby souffs pricks try and use the fact Luke was being held in a dangerous position as a defence. And if the judiciary let him off it's an open book that players can take matters into their own hands if they feel threatened in a tackle.

Chook.

Fair enough mate,let's see how it pans out..

Wouldn't be the first time they've tried that.
If you remember a few years back they brought in a cardiologist to justify Fa'longo's king hit on Anasta !

That was my point Chook.
It sets a dangerous precedent for similar situations in the future..

Funny hearing Graham Hughes on 2SM saying the door has opened for the Rabbits to win the comp due to recent injuries to Manly and the Roosters..

It would be the only way they would win 1, by default, & even then they'd still find a way of losing.

Funny listening to (Rooster hater)Tallis last night saying Isaac Luke must get off his charge as Josh Reynolds wasn`t charged for the same offence a few weeks ago, and the NRL must be consistent.

What Mr.Dopey doesn't realise is that Reynolds was charged for the same offence and copped one week.
So if the NRL is consistent Luke must not play this week.

Their team will be announced this afternoon and apart from Teo, Reynolds and Luke likely to miss 1 week and Burgess and Inglis to be rested.
Roosters 30- 10 and full momentum into semis.

Lol....why isn't your name bunny bunny instead? Be true to your wobbly legged wabbits.

there is no way the vermin are smart enough to rest Burgess and Inglis, they will needle them up and roll them out, and for Luke he will get off his charge tonight.

[bigben]

I still can't get over the fact Steve Catai wasn't charged for his deliberate shoulder charge. Sonny got 3 weeks for the same offence....Another NRL BLOOPER...

Garlick on the judiciary refs at vermin training sessions - I have probity issues with the way the NRL is run

Ive heard the same thing abaout Souths resting players Dont really know if the source is credible but obviously this rumour is doing the rounds

would be shocked if they did, would be a bit worried if they did, would mean they are actually learning that beating us is not the ultimate prize.
