High Shot by Matai

[pillow]

I make no comment about Matai as an individual

He headbutted a bloke outside a pub a few years back

 

[Chicharito]

if last weeks incident was worthy of a send off then this surely warranted a sending off??

 

[Mr Invisible]

I make no comment about Matai as an individual, but that is one of the lowest acts I have seen in many years of following the game. This was not a tackle, but a king-hit on an unsuspecting player who was out of the contest. If Ennis had kicked the ball, instead of passing it, Matai would have been walked instantly. The judiciary will have to judge this one harshly. Not only was the contact deliberately high; it was so late that it could only have been intentional.

Do you reckon the Match Review Committee can class that as an Intentional High Tackle?

SECTION 15
PLAYER’S MISCONDUCT
Definition of misconduct 1. A player is guilty of misconduct if he:
(a) trips, kicks or strikes another player.
(b) when effecting or attempting to effect a tackle makes contact with the head or neck of an opponent intentionally, recklessly or carelessly.

EDIT: Oh Dear .... he'll be gone for the finals FOR SURE..

Charged with a high tackle and cleared July 2010.

Charged with TWO High / Careless High Tackle offences in May 2010. Suspended for 3 weeks for this.

So with previous offences (3), plus suspension already this year for similar things, he'll get loading.

I'm thinking 6 weeks.

Simmmo, I agree with you re Carney and Gallen.
Would love both of them to be at the Dogs

Awesome hit by Matai. Pity he didnt finish Ennis off for good though.

Doesnt matter anyway, Ennis wont make the end of year tour by a long shot.

Cam Smith and Farah will be the hookers.

Awesome hit? It was a dog act and he will get a lengthy suspension. How can you say hitting someone late, high, and when they are not even looking is an awesome hit?

You are pathetic.

Definately deserved a send off..

It doesn't matter how much any game hinged on that decision..

If that happened 6 weeks ago where there was really no direct conflict of teams making the 8 etc etc then it would have been a send off..

How can we all at home see it on replay and say "Wow, that's ugly">

Yet the video ref gets ample time to look at it and tips to the onfield refs "I can't make out the point of contact".

BULLSH!T once again..

What do these fucers take us for?

If that is not a clear send off then KE doesn't like his milfs!

Excuse me! I LOVE my MILFs, thanks. No one can ever question that. Especially my neighbour.

KE loves his MILFs

Damn right!

Simmmmmmmmo and AssLicker are hilarious. Ennis fuct AssLicker's mum hence the hate and Simmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmo is down right mentally challenged. Anyone with a coconut last name he wants to swallow his load.

Matai is a dog.. That shot was not only late but he had the intention to hit him whether or not he had the ball. With his record I wouldnt be surprised if he gets 2-3 weeks..

 

[Vargster]

So sickening.

My partner and I were right near the walkway as Ennis was being assisted off. We were the only 2 Bulldogs supporters over there, surrounded by idiotic Manly supporters.

My Partner and I were clapping Ennis, telling him he'd done it for Noddy and General, and he gave us a very dreary nod of thanks. Then a Manly supporter came running up and started calling him a cat, telling him to go play netball etc etc. This supporter was standing against the cage, and someone inside the cage (Either security, or possibly a Bulldogs player - Didn't see the face) smashed his hand into the cage, giving the Manly supporter one hell of a fright. Security came out of no where and grabbed the prick of a supporter and escorted him out. Felt so good seeing that tosser getting pulled away for being so disrespectful.

I hope Matai gets suspended for a long long time - such a filthy act.

"We don't know where the initial point of contact was"

SO WHAT THE FCK IS THE VIDEO REF DOING?! Playing with his balls?

 

[Shanked]

[MOVE.80]

Manly Warringah Sea Eagles centre Steve Matai faces the longest suspension for an NRL player this season and will miss the Four Nations tournament for New Zealand in October after being slapped with a 7-9-week suspension today.

The NRL Match review Committee today charged Matai with a grade three reckless high tackle on a Michael Ennis in the 50th minute of yesterday's loss to the Bulldogs. He will miss seven weeks if he takes the early plea.
Matai's teammates Jason King and Chris Bailey were also both charged grade one careless high tackles, but neither will miss a game with an early plea.

"The Sea Eagles have been so crippled by injury they have been forced to cancel a field session tomorrow because of a lack of personnel."

That's about what he deserves.

Matai out minimum 7 weeks

Manly face grim task in NRL finals, starting with St George Illawarra
By Dean Ritchie
September 06, 2010 .Manly face finals annihilation by St George Illawarra at WIN Jubilee Oval, with six players in doubt through injury and three charged for high tackles against Canterbury-Bankstown.

"We are busted left, right and centre," Sea Eagles coach Des Hasler said after his side's 30-24 loss to the Bulldogs at Brookvale Oval on Sunday afternoon.

Aside from the loss - their sixth in the past 10 games - Manly had Steve Matai, Jason King and Chris Bailey placed on report, and subsequntly charged, for high tackles.

Matai and King each face a ban even if they take the early guilty plea.

Matai faces a minimum seven-match ban after being charged with a grade-three reckless high tackle on Canterbury hooker Michael Ennis.

He risks a nine-match ban if he contests the charge at the NRL judiciary.

Loading and carryover points threaten King's finals involvement after the prop copped a grade-one careless high tackle charge, the lowest possible grading for a high tackle.

Bailey was given an identical charge, but his clean record means he will be free to face the Dragons with an early plea, which will be of some relief to coach Des Hasler with the Sea Eagles also batting a lengthy injury list.

Anthony Watmough (ankle), Joe Galuvao (groin), Ben Farrar (shoulder), Mall Ballin (concussion), Brent Kite (collarbone) and Jamie Lyon (ankle) are all in doubt for the Dragons game because of injuries.

"We have got a few out and it's going to be a really big challenge for us, but we're confident in the players we have still available," Manly captain Jamie Lyon said.

Asked who would definitely not play, Lyon said: "It could be everyone at the moment, we could have quite a few out.

"We don't know exactly who's in or who's out at the moment, we probably won't know for a few days yet."

Manly will also be without suspended lock Glenn Stewart for the rest of the season.
