South Sydney Rabbitohs beat Manly Sea Eagles 40-22 after Karl ... (ABC News)

An early sending off to Karl Lawton for a dangerous tackle puts Manly on the back foot as South Sydney run away for a 40-22 win.

Penrith's victory marked the first time in history a team had won the opening eight games in back to back seasons. He showed his class, grubbering for Izack Tago to score his sixth try in eight games in the 43rd minute. They shot out to a 10-2 lead in the 13 minutes after Lawton was sent from the field, and also refused to go away when trailing 30-16 early in the second half. Daly Cherry-Evans in particular kicked brilliantly to keep the Sea Eagles in it, while Josh Schuster was back to his dangerous best in his first game back from an ankle injury. But despite spending 72 minutes with just 12 men, and losing Brad Parker to injury, Manly somehow stayed in the fight and threatened to become the first team since they did it in 2008 to win while down a man from the first half. In doing so, Lawton joined Canberra star Nick Cotric in becoming the only players to be dismissed for a dangerous throw during the NRL era.

Manly back-rower sent off for spear tackle on Souths skipper (The Sydney Morning Herald)

South Sydney celebrated Cody Walker's milestone with victory after Sea Eagle Karl Lawton was marched for lifting Cameron Murray.

Skipper Daly Cherry-Evans added: “In the moment you’re just gutted you’re losing a player for the whole game. Manly also played the final half hour without Brad Parker who succumbed to a knee injury. If it was one of my players I would have seen it as fair [to be sent].“ There was certainly no malice in the tackle. In front of a huge crowd at Central Coast Stadium, Lawton flipped Murray head-first into the turf. Manly coach Des Hasler was in no mood to blow up and said: “He’s devastated the poor kid.

The 'type of tackle we're trying to stamp out' or 'extraordinary ... (The Roar)

Karl Lawton's early sending off proved the crucial difference as South Sydney picked up the victory over Manly in Gosford, winning 40-22. Manly battled…

On the fourth tackle in the Manly end, Tom Burgess took a simple hit up but was able to shrug off Taupau and carry Lachlan Croker over the line with him. It was as clear a penalty try as they come. With the try given, it stood and 12-man Manly lead. Taupau coughed up possession and, on the last play, the Bunnies’ left edge had Manly shot for numbers and Isaiah Tass got over. After a smart ball strip from Dylan Walker, Kieran Foran looked like he had got the Sea Eagles on the board. I thought maybe a decision could have been disputed there but either way, he wasn’t going to stay on the field and we’ll leave it to the judiciary to judge now. “I thought with the footy we always looked sharp and dangerous. “To be sent off for that, when there is no injury to the player, I find it extraordinary … if that’s your product, I give up.” “It’s one of those things that happens, but it’s a really dangerous tackle. He plays the game at pace and he’s got such a nice temperament. The referee chose to send him off so we have to wear that.” He will now front the judiciary and likely find himself with a lengthy ban.

Brave Manly shoot themselves in foot after send-off, Walker stars in milestone match: 3 Big Hits.

“The old fella Kieran Foran showed his running game. “He certainly never gives up on the play does he? The technique he got it completely wrong. “And Karl Lawton drove him into the ground head first. “It has been an emotional week for Cody and he is really starting to deliver now in the second half. It has been a slow start to the season for Cody Walker, but he was back to his brilliant best to celebrate his 150th match in the NRL in style. “Cody Walker in game 150 scores and points to the sky,” Dan Ginnane said. “And you are right it is the tackle we are trying to rub out of the game. “I don’t know what will happen to Lawton at the judiciary but he is in a bit of strife.” Walker capped a brilliant return to form with a try in the corner to mark his 150th game in style and make it 30-16. “We have had players get players in positions and this is the tackle that we want to stamp out. Daly Cherry-Evans kept his side in the contest with a try to cut the lead to 30-22 and set up a grandstand finish.

Rabbitohs win for Cody as Sea Eagles lose Lawton (NRL.COM)

The Rabbitohs celebrated Cody Walker's 150th game in style with a 40-22 win over a 12-man Sea Eagles outfit at Central Coast Stadium on Friday night.

I think the weekend off and freshen up will be a good thing for us." Daly [Cherry-Evans] kicked really well, he's one of the best halfbacks in the game for a reason. He's such a hard worker, he plays the game at pace, and he has a nice temperament so there was certainly no malice in the tackle but there will probably be some consequences to face on that tackle. I thought maybe a decision could have been disputed there but either way he wasn't going to stay on the field and we'll leave the judiciary to decide on that one." A magic moment for one of South Sydney's favourite sons Cody Walker in career game No.150 when he crossed wide out and looked to the heavens in a tribute to his mum Linda who passed away in 2018. "I'm pretty proud of the month we've had, winning three of our last four and losing the other one by a field goal.
