I'm sorry, but going to court over this is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard.

Focus on getting the basics right...stop wasting energy on stupid things that don't mean anything like documentaries, going court etc.

If this does happen it just proves the management team are terrible leaders and not solutions-focused. It doesn't prove anything...

Disagree 100% and not a waste of time IMO.
If it happened in the middle of game they would let it go but I agree and back the club 100% regardless of the result.
Something is going on and we might of rattled a few people in the NRL. ( you don't find it strange they have not handed over the requested info yet)
Most weeks we get screwed over by the refs and glad we are finally standing up for ourselves when we have a right to.
Time will tell but I'm all in for the ride
 
You'd think that Klein would have some explaining to do. The game was over and he had plenty of time to make a careful decision but he went immediately. It seemed suspicious to me, as though he wanted Cowboys to win and took the opportunity. Normally the bunker will agonise over much less important moments in a game. That seemed sus to me.

Wests Tigers officials have been granted an audience with ARL Commission chair Peter V’landys and NRL chief executive Andrew Abdo as they intensify efforts to reverse the result of their controversial loss to North Queensland.

News Corp understands that NRL head of football Graham Annesley wrote to Tigers chair Lee Hagipantelis over the weekend offering the club the opportunity to sit down with the game’s foremost powerbrokers this week.

It shapes the Tigers’ final and most important fling as they look to convince key officials that they were robbed of two points in their loss to North Queensland just over a week ago.

V’landys and Abdo will head into the meeting armed with a report that has been completed by the NRL — the pair spent the weekend digesting its contents following the Tigers’ controversial loss to the Cowboys, which was decided by a Valentine Holmes penalty goal when the 80 minutes had expired.

That report holds the key to the Tigers’ hopes of convincing the ARL Commission to take their protests seriously. The Tigers have hired a high-powered lawyer Yaseen Shariff SC — part of Jack de Belin’s legal team in his quest to overturn the no-fault stand down rule — to act on their behalf.

The ARL Commission has some legal muscle of their own. Alan Sullivan QC became a commissioner in February and it seems hard to believe that V’landys and Abdo won’t have enlisted his advice to help them navigate the current situation involving the Tigers.

Sullivan was on the other side of the courtroom to Shariff during the De Belin saga, acting on behalf of the game.

At the heart of the dispute is the decision in the final seconds to award a penalty to the Cowboys that allowed him to kick a penalty goal and win the game in Townsville.

The Tigers have been on the warpath ever since as they attempt to convince the ARL Commission to give them the two points, a decision that would no doubt prompt the Cowboys to explore legal action of their own given they are entrenched in the top four and harbour an outside hope of reeling in Penrith to win the minor premiership.

Well Lee walks in to the meeting before he sits down he says are we getting the 2 point? If the answer is no then just say we will see you in court and walk out stuff them. South’s took them to court and won.
 
There is no level playing under the NRL and never will be until someone fights back. So what if we lose this? For once we are standing up for our rights and giving notice that we will no longer be the NRL whipping boys. No ref ever enforces the offside rule for the kick off, and we don't expect that to play a part, but what is important here is that Butler told James "We've already cleared that". To my way of thinking either Butler lied, Kleine lied, or Kleine saw the offside and decided it made no difference. Well it does make a bloody big difference to us, and if the NRL was honest it would make the unedited audio tape public. I think Lee has more than a few cards up his sleeve here and definitely should take this all the way if only to create maximum discomfort for the NRL. Annesley might be "comfortable' with the way things have transpired but we should not be. Rant over.
 
let’s be honest here this meeting is just an opportunity for them to look like they are listening. They are coming with an internal report of the entire situation. We will argue our point and they will say there is nothing we can do.
1. offside - sorry we missed that and it hadn’t been called for years - human error
2. The challenge - we’ve deemed the stoppage at the end of the game is challengable - not in the rules explicitly but not not in the rules explicitly. Sorry we weren’t on the same page with that one.
3. The penalty - on reflection we don’t agree with Klein and punished him accordingly as per our standard procedure in these circumstances- we know it sucks but sorry about his error
4. Tamou challenge denied - offside was cleared by the bunker as per procedure. Once again sorry they missed that technical rule.

The only hope you have is if someone says something they shouldn’t have on the tape. Even if they have its long odds for the 2 points we’ll be offered something else - cash, pick of our opening draw in 2023, all requests met for 2023 draw. Nothing of value or admitting guilt.

For sure…This is just a exercise in seeing to be doing the right thing. The internal review they present will all be about human error. Your also right there will be no two points at best a under table deal
 
You have a prang that's your fault because you were perving at the time and didn't see the bloke in fronts brake lights. You admit it's your fault to the other driver but say it was just human error. How do you think you'd fare in court trying to dodge damages?

That analogy is close but not really accurate NT.
We were in a sporting contest with referees hired to interpret rules in making judgement calls. The referees made a judgement call which they themselves admitted was an error of judgement.
Can WT be serious about legal action because they didn’t like the refs call?
 
supercoach said:
I guess if Klein is appointed to a game next weekend today, will indicate how serious the NRL have taken our complaint and if they consider he did anything outside the rules other than making a judgment error.

IMO should not be allowed near a game till this matter has been fully dealt with.

Totally agree.
RUB HIM OUT FOR EVER, IF GUILTY.
SUSPEND HIM UNTIL WE HAVE A VERDICT.
THATS HOW THE REAL WORLD WORKS.

sorry for the dribble
