Steve Matai ... has planned a revenge attack on Mitchell Allgood. Source: Brett Costello / News Limited
MANLY five-eighth Kieran Foran has ignited his club's upcoming game with Parramatta by declaring Sea Eagles centre Steve Matai will be seeking ''revenge'' on Eels prop Mitchell Allgood.
Allgood today pleaded guilty and will serve a two-match suspension for belting Matai in the head during Monday night's match at Brookvale Oval.
Manly and Parramatta - fierce Sydney rivals for 66 years - clash again in four weeks' time, with Foran saying Matai will be ''looking for'' Allgood.
Asked if the aggressive Matai would stay calm for the round 21 return-match at Parramatta Stadium, Foran said: ''No, he will go looking for him.
''I can assure he (Matai) will be looking for revenge.
''He will do it in a smart way.''
Asked what that meant, Foran said: ''You'll have to wait and see.
''I'm sure you will find him in the middle at some stage of the game.
''I didn't see him (Matai) doing anything wrong. Mitchy Allgood's done a swinging arm in the tackle and, as we do, we stick up for one-another.
''He has walked toward him (Allgood) and said: 'What did you do that for?' and copped one for his trouble.
''It is a difficult situation and the NRL has dealt with it.''
Asked if he would like to be Allgood in four weeks' time, Foran said: ''No, I wouldn't, I wouldn't.''
Matai went into a rage after the drama and had to be restrained by team-mates and training staff.
Told Matai didn't look too happy, Manly interchange player Jamie Buhrer said: ''Would you be happy?
''In a team atmosphere you have to have your team-mate's back.
''I believe he did the right thing coming in and trying to protect a team-mate and what unfolded was a bit unnecessary.
''I know he will (have settled for round 21). We play professional sport, not a local league, bunch of thugs.
''He will have his mind on the job next time we play them.''
Manly winger Jorge Taufua, who plays left-side next to Matai, also spoke of the incident.
''Stevie was raging,'' Taufua said.
''I ran straight in but someone from the other side held me back.
''I just wanted to make sure Stevie was alright. It was hard to calm him down.''
Manly coach Geoff Toovey described the Allgood punch as ''foul play''.
''It was a bit of a nasty punch Steve got,'' Toovey said.
''Obviously it upset him greatly and so it should have.
''It was a bit of foul play, it happens in the game and it's been dealt with so let's move on.
''Steve calmed down and got on with playing the game.''
Asked if he would tell Matai to stay calm against Parramatta in round 21, Toovey said: ''No, he knows the rules and knows the limitations in the game.
''I'm sure certain people will beat it up but we just want to win games rather than getting revenge or justice.
''Steve will be excited to play them and he will play within the rules.''
