The NSW Rugby League has handed out a raft of suspensions for an ugly incident involving Manly junior players at Kippax on Saturday, but chief executive David Trodden has warned anyone in the crowd engaging in criminal behaviour could face the full force of the law as well. His comments come after a Manly coach and three players were suspended for their involvement in the incident following a Harold Matthews Cup game between the Sea Eagles and Canberra Raiders that's believed to have left a Canberra school student concussed. A spectator has also been issued with a ban, with everyone sanctioned given until the close of business on Tuesday to respond to their breach notices. Manly assistant coach Jay Younis was the hardest hit, banned for 20 months on Wednesday, while a spectator has been banned from attending matches until the end of the year. Three Manly under-17 players were also sanctioned: one until May 31, which ruled them out for the rest of the season, one for four matches and the other was given a two-game suspended sentence.
