OFFICIAL James Tamou [Discussion]

[BAGNF05]

It’s a long deliberation for something which should be straight forward. You can’t abuse the ref and call him fing incompetent to his face for everyone to hear. 2 weeks is fair.

Should have called him a weak gutted dog in the presser. That’s one week 😂😂

 

[Madge]

Wow. He got it downgraded.

 

[LeichhardtTiger]

Tamou wins appeal. Is that our 5th win of the year?

 

[king_sirro]

One week for telling the truth

 

[weststigerman]

Well there you go, I got that one wrong.

We won something. Yay.

Nah, he was just telling the truth, he should get off.

Suck shit Cummins

Where’s our two points.

 

[Harvey]

I think that is an attempt at an unwritten apology following the cowboys game

 

[Chicken_Faced_Killa]

wow! I’m happy for James as he deserves to finish his career on the field (getting flogged by the Raiders 🤣). However, I would love to hear the defence and how they came to this decision. The blog on the NRL site basically has him saying that his emotions got the better of him because of the situation of the game. That’s life you need to control your emotions or face the consequences.

As a former referee I disagree with this decision as it sets up a bad precedent at all levels. It’s hard enough to keep young referees in the game or encourage more referees to sign up. Things like this drive them away especially when players now feel it is okay. People give referees a hard time however we need them to have a game.

In fairness refs have treated our team worse mate ,so things have to even out sometime

 

[Halbrowne61]

Come on,referees are sacrosanct , always have been and always will.
If he gets a dispensation it will open a can of worms like the League has never seen.
I like him and feel really sorry for him and his family but he knows after 300 games what he did was not going to get him anywhere.
Minimum 2 weeks, then it’s up to us if he takes a spot next year or there is an up and comer we need to nurture.
He would have been better directing all his anger at his lazy teammates and tell them what a disgrace they were to the jersey.

Got that one wrong didn’t I. Well, for whatever reason he got his wish and can go out in style coz I don’t think he’ll be there in 2023, UNLESS they feel there is some synergy between him and API.

Jesus... Get a grip.. He's still suspended...

 

[weststigerman]

Where’s our two points.

We lost those 2 points, Hastings lost his downgrade appeal, we lost to Gus for Ciraldo, we lost almost all of our games but we flogged the judiciary getting Tamou’s suspension downgraded 😂

The big fella will enjoy his last plod.

No we didn't beat the judiciary at all just got the charge downgraded to a more realistic level.

 

[Harvey]

Brandon called the ref a cheat suggesting that he was influencing the result to produce an outcome.

Tamou just suggested he makes a lot of mistakes. What were the respective gradings? One clearly worse than the other

 

[Cobarcats]

Good to see James get to play his last game against the Raiders.
Watch Ricky get fined for another outburst for allowing Tamou to lead the tigers to a win and deny Raiders a finals berth.
Fafita takes Tamou's place for a 1 year cameo bench role.

 

[Tiger-ferret]

Happy with the outcome for James. Would be horrible for him to deal with if that was his last game for us and possibly the NRL.

 

[Moh]

Really happy for Tamou. He was shattered at the thought that could have been it.
