In a recent report from the folks over at seaeagles.com.au, it looks like there's some judiciary news involving two Manly Warringah Sea Eagles players - Josh Aloiai and Nathan Brown.
Josh Aloiai, the Sea Eagles forward, has made the tough decision to put in an early guilty plea for a dangerous contact (tripping) charge following their recent match-up against the Penrith Panthers.
Aloiai found himself in hot water for a Grade 2 charge due to a little bit of a tangle with Panthers fullback Daine Laurie in the 75th minute of the game.
As a result, he'll be sitting out the next two games, a blow for the Sea Eagles squad.
On the other hand, Nathan Brown, another hard-hitting forward for Manly, has also decided to take the early guilty plea route for a grade one contrary conduct charge for a hair pull on Jarome Luai, a player for the Panthers.
Brown will be facing a fine of $1800 for his actions.
It looks like the Sea Eagles will have to dig deep and rely on the depth of their squad to cover the absences of Aloiai and Brown in the upcoming games.
As they say in the world of Rugby League, it's all about facing adversity head-on and finding a way to come out on top, no matter the obstacles in your way.
