The way I saw it he was attacked by Barnett from behind and then reacted. But yes he did carry on like a peanut.

To be honest I'd find it hard to suspend Brown. He didn't actually hit anyone. Can you get suspended for dissent?

Respect for Rudolph though. He was very cool while Brown was acting the goat.

Each to their own opinion I guess. Hard to judge a melee like this. But it my eyes, he was hardly "attacked from behind". Barnett grabbed him from behind (as you would, because he was one of four Tigers all over his teammate Pangai), pulled him aside. They were both holding each other, faced one another, squared up, Barnett got off the first punch. Fair stink.

I'd hope he goes the other way to be honest. We need some nutters in our side tbh. He doesn't have form when it comes to brain snaps and without the recent crack down he'd hardly have been penalised. He didn't even throw a punch. He got clean clocked unexpectedly and got angry about it. Even when he got free and ran down the other bloke he still only threw an open palm at the head. All blown way out of proportion and if the 13 doesn't get more weeks it'll be unjust.

looking at him now- reminds me of george rose
Meh boys will be boys.
He went looking for action, found a bloke who could throw them, copped a few and went back for more. Reminded me of Joey years ago when he got his block knocked off in 'cattledog'.
The big-man-grandstanding at the end wasnt needed though, he was lucky his team mate Rudolph held him back. Probably saved him another smack in the chops and a few extra weeks on the sideline.

Yeah he's a fat little bugger. He's like Rose and O'Meleys love child. Recently re-signed to a three year deal too. He's a definite first grader and I'll be disappointed if his display tonight affects that at all.

Not fair tbh, that Barnett dog only threw them when Brown was completely held back on both occasions. I'm a bit disappointed in Santi there tbh. He was helping the Raiders hold Brown down while Barnett threw them at his teammate. Hopefully he learns that you grab the bloke on the other side. I know he thought he was doing the right thing but all the Raiders boys had the right idea.

Still don't carry on like that!
He's not playing for rooty hill in the third grade comp!
Not a good look for the WT. Also no respect for his other te mates!!!

Brown carried on like a halfwit, no two ways about it. As nasty as this incident was, hopefully it's something he'll learn from and become a more mature player as a result.
THE NRL's ban the biff edict was given its first serious test last night when a wild brawl erupted in the under-20s Holden Cup clash between Wests Tigers and Canberra.
In an immediate reaction to the new crackdown instigated by referees boss Daniel Anderson, two players were sent off and two players were sin-binned after the fight broke out near fulltime.
NRL boss Dave Smith was at Campbelltown Sports Stadium to witness the incident but declined The Sunday Telegraph's request to make comment on the fight.
Instead, Smith commended the referees for doing "a good job" through NRL spokesman John Brady but refrained from elaborating due to the impending judiciary hearing.
BUZZ: NRL WINS ITS FIRST TEST HANDS DOWN
Wests Tigers bench player Nathan Brown was sent off along with Raiders lock Mitchell Barnett, while Tigers young gun Kyle Lovett and Canberra bench player Tahakilu Pangai were sin-binned. The entire fight was also put on report.
The incident occurred just six days after the NRL introduced a strict crackdown following NSW captain Paul Gallen punching Nate Myles in State of Origin I.
The reaction among the sporting and wider community was hugely divided, with the majority of rugby league diehards standing by the old creed: What happens on the field, stays on the field.
Under the rule tweak implemented by referees boss Anderson, any player who throws a punch in a match is automatically sin-binned.
Tigers bench player Brown attempted to re-enter the field of play to call out members of the Raiders as Wests teammates urged him to go back across the sideline.
A number of other players from both sides were involved in the brawl, with the NRL's match review committee now given with the task of deciphering who threw punches and what charges, if any, should be laid.
The incident is a test case for the NRL.
There were more than five players involved in the Tigers-Raiders brawl last night but it erupted so quickly it was difficult for the referees, Adam Gee and Phil Henderson, and touch judges, Kasey Badger and Adam Reid, to adjudicate on exactly how many players had thrown punches.

I thought the same thing, I thought he did actually clip Rudolph on the chin at one point.I don't mind a bit of biff and aggression but this kid was well over the line. If I was big Todd, the kid wouldn't pull on a a pair of boots again until December off season training.
