I reckon it was alleged verbal dissent to the ref.
The ref awarded a contentious try to the Steelers (looked like he was held up), Hopoate wasn't involved in the tackle but walked near the ref after he awarded it. Then he was called over and sent.
It was a very good comeback to hit the lead 22-20 after being down 20-0 and reduced to 12 players.
Watching Iszak Isdale is like watching a replica of Jye Gray.

He is so good hey! Provides great shape, strong & elusive ball runner, good cover defender & ball player. With his talent, he'll overcome being short if he has the will.

I love how he always hangs around the ruck. Full of energy. Bula could take a leaf out of his play.

Having seen the Manly team first hand last Sunday - they were outmuscled up the guts by Souths.
Wests have the attributes to do similar tomorrow.
Zeph Finau, former Sea Eagle Isaiah Fretton and Jerome Cosgrave can lay the platform.
Manly's dangerman is fullback Carlito Vesely who's a very classy runner of the ball.
Their prop Billy Miller is a goer, while Jhett Watkin also looks promising - they've moved him from right centre into the backrow this week.
If Wests can channel a little of that old Liddy Oval, Fibro vs Silvertail, Magpie Muscle vibe - they'll be
too strong 😎

Hopefully another Iszak Isdale master class and another couple of tries to our flying Fijian winger.
