Manly have released the following statement surrounding the incident between Jackson Hastings and Daly Cherry-Evans.
Our Club has today finalised its review into incidents involving some members of our playing group during the recent match in Gladstone.
As a part of that review, Club Captain Daly Cherry-Evans has been handed a fine of $10,000 for his involvement in those incidents.
"Daly has unreservedly accepted the Club's findings and sanction and has taken full responsibility for his involvement in these matters,'' said Club CEO, Lyall Gorman.
"The incidents that unfolded in Gladstone fall massively short of our Club's expectations, culture and values and are regrettable in the extreme.
"They in no way reflect what we stand for and have let our Club, our playing group, our corporate partners, our members, supporters, and our community at large down.
"While we must move on and focus on the season ahead, we will continue to work intensely with all members of our playing group and management to ensure that the lessons of these incidents serve as an absolute reminder of the responsibilities and accountabilities that are incumbent upon all involved in our Club, on and off the field."
