CEO - Shane Richardson


The NRL is set to scrutinise comments made by Wests Tigers chief executive Shane Richardson apparently suggesting referees have an inherent bias against teams that are lower on the NRL ladder.

Richardson doubled down on coach Benji Marshall’s post-match claim that the Tigers were hard done by the match officials in Sunday’s 18-14 loss to Penrith.......................

Surprise surprise I don't think Richo gives a F if we get fined if the refs think twice about pinging us as much.

It’ll be the only time the piss weak NRL act, when shown up by a Tiger. 🐅
 
What frustrates me , is they use the cumulative penalties as a stat to counter prove his argument, knowing full well that’s not what he’s talking about . He’s talking about the howler , the short whistle , the escort where you’re sent to the bin ( last night Foran blatantly held back a player who was screaming through for a try a scoring position-penalty) , the 3 infringements and you’re off made up rule .
We have copped more howlers in the last 5 years then every team has combined in the nrl era . Thats what he’s talking about . Penalty for lying in the ruck 60m out from the tryline is hardly the same thing .
Exactly! Neither are all the make up penalties given in the last 5 minutes when the game is already won.
 
I’m glad it’s being aired, now maybe something will change on the field for us. The refs actually might think twice before blowing the whistle on us. Keeping silent on the issue hasn’t helped at all, it just gave the refs licence to keeping doing it.
Would not surprise me if it will change, but not in the way we hope.
 
Yeah well there is that, but history has proven otherwise. North Queensland’s fortunes with the refs have certainly changed over the years since Payten got stuck into them, same with Ricky’s Raiders. These guys are always making a noise and it’s working. The squeaky wheel gets all the attention. You would expect a similar result for us, though it is the Tigers 🙄
