Manly have opened up old wounds by again hinting South Sydney star Greg Inglis may have been at fault in a tackle where he was put into a dangerous position.

Sea Eagles forward Anthony Watmough and, to a lesser extent captain Jamie Lyon, are in strife for an incident in the first half of Friday night's 40-24 loss to Souths where Rabbitohs fullback Inglis ended up crashing into the turf head first.

The tackle immediately brought back memories from a match at Brookvale Oval early last year when Inglis was dumped three times in the one match by Sea Eagles players.
