Manly have been slammed by the judiciary with both Daly Cherry-Evans and Haumole Olakau’atu charged for two weeks for their part in a dangerous throw on Parramatta’s Shaun Lane.
They could still appeal, but would potentially face a third week if they choose to challenge.
Parramatta escaped with no bans: Maika Sivo, whose brain explosion cost his side the game, was fined $3,000 and Ryan Matterson got $1,000 for his bellringer on Luke Brooks, which was adjudged as a high tackle despite going unpunished on the field.
Anthony Seibold claimed it was a good tackle with an unfortunate ending and is hopeful the Manly star can avoid a ban.
Demetriou intimated after the loss to the Storm – Souths’ sixth from seven games this year – Izaac Thompson would come into the side to replace Milne.
Milne’s mindless shot adds to his unenviable rap sheet. The 28-year-old became the first man sent off in a finals match in almost 30 years when he hit Spencer Leniu high during the 2022 play-offs, again once the match was well out of reach for Souths.
He received a six-game ban on that occasion and was charged three times again across 2023, though he did not spend any more time on the sidelines.
But Milne’s latest hit was listed as a first offence with his recent grade-one offences wiped from his record given it occurred more than 10 games ago.
Dragons fullback Tyrell Sloan was charged twice for dangerous contact in his team’s Anzac Day caning by the Roosters for separate incidents on Sam Walker and Luke Keary.
He can cop a combined $2000 in fines with early guilty pleas.
Titans forward David Fifita ($1800-$2500) and Warriors rookie Jacob Laban ($1000-$1500) were also pinged for dangerous contact from Thursday’s triple-header.
