Tino charged by MRC. 3 weeks with early plea, 4 if he challenges unsuccessfully. Apparently for a hit on RCG in the 40th minute. Honestly can't recall the incident, and I don't think he was placed on report?
Dead season anyway. Might as well appeal it.
It was the first tackle of the 2nd half, worth a penalty, not worth 3 weeks
Paul Crawley is all over the double standards issue for the Titans but we can expect little more than some shambolic unapologetic lip service over it. Tino certainly looked guilty "live" but anything more than a penalty is pretty harsh, although the accusers will cite a "square up" for the knees which is hard to defend straight after half time. He will now have ample time to read through the offers from other clubs. Anyway our season is shot once again and we all face another long period of anxiety while we wait for the next "second coming" to give us hope through to February.
Four reasons to escape to Queensland: Sun, Surf, Sand & the Titans.
Apparently it was so harsh because of his priors
Annesley confirms it should've been a penalty to us when Lane charged down the field-goal. He was offside.
He also confirmed RCG wasn't square at marker when putting pressure on Tanah for the other field goal (that he missed). Wormed his way out of it by saying Boyd still missed but a reporter asked Annesley if the pressure from RCG who was <5m away still put Tanah off, which it obviously did.
Dudded.
They can bring the bunker in to incorrectly rule on things all season when everyone with a pulse can see they are wrong, then the ref cant send a player off for a BLATANT red card infringment, miss knock ons and incorrect offside calls, they ping us last week for the same call (even though the dolphins were guilty of the exact same thing) they then come out and now tell us that we were duded. Tell me again PVL why I should spend a ****ing dollar of my money supporting the NRL when all you do is just **** us or another club over every.single.week with nonsense calls that they cannot seem to call evenly or even set a basic standard for! its just a flip of the coin as to what absolute dip**** has the whistle in his mouth or what mouth breathing moron is sitting in the bunker each week.
We arent playing well but we are basically playing us vs the opposition vs the refs and bunker the last 3 weeks and I have an absolute gutful of it.
