Olam's Send Off

[Kelce68]

I’m not sure what people are seeing.
Am I going blind.
That shot is AFTER the initial contact from Olam’s shoulder colliding with Luki’s shoulder.

If he was rising up in contact and leading with his shoulder. Why then in the photo above is his right shoulder bent back further then his left?

No. It's not.

I had a brief conversation with a die-hard Roosters fan yesterday and the 1st thing he said was what a disastrous joke the Olam sendoff was.
I like Roosters fans now 🤣

Life ban for you, mate!!!

Watching the Dragons/Storm game... Nelson Solomona did exactly same thing to a Dragons player... put on report only... no ten in the bin, and definitely not a send off... wtf

Dwyer big hit on JWH would be penalised today

He would be sent off and get 6 weeks.

"Fair not equal" is the motto of the NRL and it is the biggest lie in sport

 

[Sully]

Fox sports website show three examples from this weekend that look very similar with three different results. I would have this as part of the downgrade submission.

Agreed though the year is shot so get him ready for next year.

Man we’ve had some real shit moments as a club

Simon Dwyer & The tank having career ending injuries are up there. Scott Prince leaving us for titans.. Adam Blair being a total dud… list could go on for ages tbh lol

Injuries wise Simon Dwyer was a huge miss. He would have been a regular forward, poor kid.

The other one that gets me is Taniela Tuiaki ... Man that kid was probably one of the games best wingers till he got injured. LOVED watching him play and score.

You can chuck in there . Losing Tedesco, Mitchell Moses, Andrew Fifita, Addo Carr, Koroibete, Ben Teo, Anthony Laffranchi, Blake Austin, Marty Taupau, Ryan Papenhuyzen. Multiple bad signings like Adam Blair, Josh Reynolds, Moses Mybe, Russell Packer, Braith Anasta, Matt Ballin, Chris Mcqueen and a heap more . The Tedesco and Papenhuyzen one stings. We couldn't keep atleast 1 ? Would of been happy with either.

It’s good to see Richo is going to challenge olam’s 3 week ban , I hope he doesn’t hold back on the raw deal the tigers have been copying for years now .
DONT hold back Richo

I know we make dumb mistake’s & I can often defend the refs against us but this season we aren’t being treated fairly by the refs.

It started with the Api no try (every try exactly the same since has been a try) and since then been costly most games.

I wonder actually if Api &/or some of our players really rub the refs up the wrong way as such dish out harder punishment.

It is well overdue that our club stood up for itself and our players in challenging the bias (conscious or subconscious) that exists in Anusley's area of control.Even if we don't get the results that we want it will highlight the unfairness that lower rated clubs have to endure.

You got me there. You're right. Definitely didn't see that one coming BPT. Good call.

Losing Teddy at the time was devastating… I remember feeling a bit better when we had a good start to the season in 18, even beating the roosters. Then our collapse happened and the roosters ended up winning the comp lol

2010 finals series was another depressing time for the club. We should have won that year. We were all over the dragons in the prelim

Defending the Olam charge at the judiciary has nothing to do with any perceived "raw deal" or history of copping bad decisions.

Richo will not be grandstanding about past wrongs - or even mounting the defence!

We'll employ a lawyer to represent Olam at the judiciary to argue that the charge/punishment is too harsh based on the specific mechanics of this tackle and seek a downgrade - nothing more and nothing less...

Do you understand how the judiciary/court process works?

Imagine turning up to court to defend a speeding charge - and then venting to the magistrate about all the unfair fines you've received for speeding "for years"...

Do you reckon that would go well??

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

Depends if the speeding cameras were calibrated.

Luai is getting an early taste of Tiger life. We was beaten by a pass over a metre forward that wasn't called. This will be your life now, matey. Ask Api or Olam.

 

[Mighty_Tiger]

Wow Ponga just got hit and they put Tago on report was worse than Olam’s hit.

 

[Siberian Kitten]

Ah, now a Panther has hit a player directly on the chin. That's five this weekend, but only Olam went off, with one sin bin, two reports and a penalty.

The NRL is so trustworthy!

 

[Siberian Kitten]

No other refs have said "You had the whole body to aim for", only that corrupt Butler cheat with his dodgy mate Klein in the bunker.
