Marshall - Pearce incident, 3rd man in.

[Guest]

Did anyone else see it? I didn't get to see which gutless Tigpies player it was. He ran in and took Pearce out, flattened him, just after JJ and Marshall exchanged blows. Should have been sent off as 3rd man in. Or have they scrapped that rule?

[Tom Verlaine's Ghost]

It only applies when an Easts player is third man in.

I noticed that on the night and on the replay but I don't know who it was.

Gutless. Only makes me even happier their try was denied.

I think it was Heighington.
I don't think it was too bad, watch all the footage, he and Pearce get up patting each other on the back.

Heighington seems to be very protective of his fellow players where as someone like Thaiday uses it as an excuse to hit people

[Guest]

nothing in it. the third man in broke it up... tackled him to the ground but with no great force.

It was Heighington.......He didn't mean any malice...just trying to break the shit up.
I went to school and played against Chris, and i have nothing but good things to say about him!Was always very, very tough but fair!

He sounds like one of the Piranha Brothers.

Did he use...puns? Or Litotes?

Or, oh my God, did he use...sarcasm????

So why didn't he take Marshall out instead???

He nailed my head to a coffee table once, but I deserved it

Well that's a ****ing stupid question......
If your mate and some random are going at it, who are you going to tackle first you goose???

dimsdale was a smashing bloke - used to bring flowers to his mum and all.

[Guest]

Was just trying to break it up. No malice at all.

Play on!

Well, unless they score a try.

Not a stupid question. He ran in and took out Pearce. Third man in. Ofcourse any player would rush to help a team-mate, but it is still third man in, a send-off offence. Had he grabbed his jumper to pull him away, different story.

[Guest]

He pulled Pearce on top of himself he didn't jump on Pearce. Not really a case of third man in!!
