Matai has to go, I reckon. He just cant help himself. Just has to do something stupid it would seem.
Sterling thought the Williams tackle was bad. I didn't see it that way and with a clean record might get off with an early guilty plea.
Who can tell, though, with the current judicary. I still think Brett Stewart should have been rubbed out for the season after the brawl.

I think Matai is a grub. However I dint think there was intent to hurt, I think he was trying to stop the try and a penalty is sufficient.
I also thought the same about Gibbs a few years ago too

Gibbsy got 3 weeks for a hit half as bad as Matai's, but being a GF they will almost always find a way to let you off.
I don't particularly have a problem with Matai's incident, he came in late-ish. Gibbs never should have got 3 weeks though, they are totally soft now on leading with the legs.

Manly player = off.
If Gibbs were a Manly player he'd have been let off also.
I heard MaCullum interviewed once by Hadley and Fulton and he dead set could not have been more intimidated by Bob Fulton if he tried. Fulton raised his voice and MaCullum basically said "yes Bob, we will fix it. Sorry Bob".
No way was he going to rub a Manly player out of the GF.
This game DESPERATELY needs an independent commision. It's administration is an absolute joke at the moment.

Just reading the Andrew Fifita/Shane flanagan thread, it made me realisejust what a huge amount of respect Bryce Gibbs has gained form WTs fans over the past couple of years.
Wasnt too long ago Gibbos departure probably wouldve seen similar feeling towrds him that are being shown to Fifita, he had a few flaws in his game….but it must be just pure hard work has seen him gain the respect that imo he deserves.
I seen it here grow....I remember when most couldnt stand him....understandably too....he's a clown and a joker but to play in the toughest position (starting) in the toughest comp in the world is quite an achievement.
Many dont understand half the penaltys he will give away are tactical breather type penaltys...that in itself takes some skill
10 years up this year too.

I always thought those early penalties in the game were a result of a hot head. That was an area of Bryce's game that really improved over the last couple of seasons.

A lot of us were sorry to see Bryce go. I know this wasn't always the case, but the last couple of years despite his injuries, his form had been very good and he proved an excellent foil for Galloway. I always felt with Gibbs on the field, the Tigers defence would always be good around the ruck, and his go forward had also improved over the last 2-3 years. I've got no doubt Blair will fill the void, but it will be strange seeing Gibbs in Sharks colours.

There were definately times Bryce gave away a penalty on purpose. Mostly with one of his amazing cover tackles and mainly early in a set so it really cost the opposition momentum. Ive said it before….but Gibbs is defensively as good as Glenn Lazarus
wish we could do a moltzen and keep him.
he'll be missed, true tiger blood.

Gibbs will be missed. His line speed in defence was the best in the team. You could really notice when he wasnt on the field as the team would suddenly start giving away metres in defence and stand back and wait for the opposition to come to them.
Gibbs copped alot of flack for giving away silly penalties, but he once mentioned that when he gave a stupid penalty away it was basically to slow the opposition because the rest of the team werent back and were struggling. He was basically instructed to be the fall guy at times.
