Tumua Manu, and Jale Vatubua are fixed on their fate, after their passage before the Disciplinary Committee of the National Rugby League (LNR) this Wednesday morning, following the red cards received during the match against Stade Toulousain.. The Samoan s come out well since his one-week suspension was served against La Rochelle. The Fijian is suspended for four weeks, and will therefore miss another three games.
Blank disciplinary records
Both were able to argue a light disciplinary record, it was both the first red card of their careers. The gesture of Tumua Manu is described by the disciplinary committee as “nervousness“. For Jale Vatubua, it is a “dangerous game“. Eight weeks of suspension was set, but, according to the procedure, his sanction was reduced following the “acknowledgment of guilt, expression of remorse” during the hearing. This is why the sanction was reduced by half.
Waiting for the Paloise Section is going to the leader Bordeaux-Bègles this weekendwith Manu, but without Vatubua who will also miss the reception of Perpignan and the trip to Biarritz, two important meetings for the end of the Béarnaise season.
