Mitchells worse than BJ

[Newtown]

Sorry, that should read, "Whos head is more important to the NRL, Mitchell or Josh.

 

[Coastie_Tiger]

Latrell needs to go for 4-6 weeks the hit was worse than BJ's came from the back and hit JR flush, the video ref obviously saw it and decided to not even put it on report what a disgrace. He should get 4-6 for the late off the ball hit on JR if they are genuine and 1-2 for the Garner high tackle. I cant believe they did nothing about it on the field they are so biased against us its pathetic, we have an inferior roster key injuries and we cant even get a fair go with the ref's let alone the rub of the green. The captains challenge was a joke how can you watch a replay and call a review afterwards it was an eternity.

BJ is a hothead. Mitchell is just dumb.

Not anymore - Blind Freddie can see it for all it is worth out in the open. Love the new rules that PVL has introduced but the way the referees are officiating, it is open to rorting. One rule for the favoured teams i.e. Storm, Eels, Broncos, Roosters, Penrith, Souths etc. another rule for the unfavoured Tigers, Manly, Titans, Dragons, Dogs, Warriors etc. Then depending on who is playing which way the pendulum swings.

I agree Russ, someone from our club needs to take this up at NRL HQ, and do it now, but in the game before us the warriors never got 1 penalty all game, seriously the ref was only watching one team and I see it every week.

Was dissapointed with Madges response in the press conference also. Just played it down and said he hopes both boys play next week. Protecting Josh, but that should have been a souths penalty and Latrell in the bin. Sort of wish Josh had of stayed down longer

How did the ref and video ref not see the incident

They don’t want to see it mate.

**This referees bias towards the Wests Tigers has gone on for years.** Probably will go on for more years than I have left.

Forget Madge - if he says anything he will get fined 10k - and it will be all to no avail anyway.

Pascoe as the CEO of the Wests Tigers or the Chairman (who likes to grab the odd headline) should officially complain to the NRL (Peter V'Landys in particular), he is the only person I have any faith in at the NRL. PVL has already fixed many problems and I would like to think he is on top of this problem we have (and other clubs with biased refereeing - Manly have been absolutely duded twice in the past few weeks.

It used to be that bias was somewhat disguised (you know penalties to the favored team 9 to 2 but once the game was won, the penalties to the losing team increased and finished up 9 to 7). etc.

Not anymore - Blind Freddie can see it for all it is worth out in the open. Love the new rules that PVL has introduced but the way the referees are officiating, it is open to rorting. One rule for the favoured teams i.e. Storm, Eels, Broncos, Roosters, Penrith, Souths etc. another rule for the unfavoured Tigers, Manly, Titans, Dragons, Dogs, Warriors etc. Then depending on who is playing which way the pendulum swings.

If this is billed as the "Greatest game of all" then it is about time the officials climbed on board and acted as professional as the players. We have halved the number of referees, weed out the ones who are not doing their job with fairness to both teams. This is all games not just the Tigers - I can name a few to start your list....

Cummins, Gee, Badger, Klein, Perenara, Sutton... I'm sure you could add a few more.

It is not good enough for Graham Annesley to come out on Mondays and apologise because the referees decision was incorrect.

NB: Please Peter V'Landys do something about this, it is a worse pandemic than Covid-19 - certainly has lasted longer.

The bias is against us mate, certainly not towards us! Just me being a grammar nazi lol, otherwise you are spot on!

Latrell Mitchell, Josh Reynolds facing NRL suspensions after South Sydney-Wests Tigers
2 hrs ago

South Sydney are waiting on likely charges for Latrell Mitchell after two separate incidents in Friday's NRL win over the Wests Tigers, who also await a possible charge for Josh Reynolds.

Mitchell became entangled with Reynolds just six minutes into the game after the Tigers five-eighth kicked Souths centre Campbell Graham in the head while chasing a loose ball.
Reynolds was put on report for the incident and could cop a suspension, but replays showed Mitchell collected him with a swinging arm from behind in a retaliation that went unpunished. He was later put on report for a high shot on Tigers forward Josh Aloiai, doubling down on his chances of missing game time in coming weeks.

At half-time on Fox Sports, former Roosters, Bulldogs and Tigers star Braith Anasta said Mitchell was lucky to stay on the field for the hit on Reynolds, and four-time premiership winner Cooper Cronk said he expected both players to be banned. "I reckon the judiciary will look at both incidents because you can't kick even if it's an accident and you can't retaliate like Latrell did," Cronk said.


AAP/ABC


The match review committee will hand down their findings today.

Any time spent on the sidelines would come as a blow for Souths as Mitchell begins to find his consistency in the number one jersey.

"I'm not too sure what the process will be for him," Souths skipper Adam Reynolds said after the game.
"Hopefully he'll be there next week, but if not, we've got some quality young kids who are waiting to get their chance. "It would be a massive loss."

His coach Wayne Bennett said he saw the kick from Reynolds but missed the shot from Mitchell. (Ha Ha). "I just saw what happened with Campbell Graham on the ground," he said. "I was looking at that so I didn't take a lot of notice what happened after that."

Reynolds is also facing time on the sidelines for collecting Graham's face with his boot while striking out at the ball.Tigers coach Michael Maguire was subdued when asked whether Reynolds should miss game time, and was surprisingly supportive of Mitchell being cleared to play. "I think he got (Reynolds)," Maguire said.

"At the end of the day, people look at that and they go through that, I hope nothing happens and away we go and play footy again. "In both instances it's very quick and I don't think there's too much in either of them."

Someone agrees with us. I’m sceptical they will but the NRL should too.

Edit:

And then they should tack on a week or two.

2 games.....

I’m done aye - don’t wanna be too hard on Latrell otherwise he may pull out the race card

Round 9 charges: Mitchell, Reynolds facing bans

Rabbitohs star Latrell Mitchell and Wests Tigers five-eighth Josh Reynolds are both facing potential three-match bans over incidents in Friday night's clash between the teams.

Mitchell is facing a grade two striking charge for a hit on Reynolds after Reynolds made contact with Campbell Graham's head with his boot, which has resulted in a grade two dangerous contact charge for the Tigers player.

Both players will miss two matches with early guilty pleas and risk three-match suspensions if they unsuccessfully fight the charges at the judiciary. South Sydney's Mark Nicholls is also facing a two-match ban with an early plea for a grade two dangerous contact charge from a tackle on Josh Aloiai.

Mitchell is facing a fine for a separate careless high tackle charge on Luke Garner.

More to come.

 

[JC99]

Two weeks is ridiculous for Latrell. Should be 4.

Harsh for josh, it was a complete accident but it was dangerous contact

 

[Sabre]

The Judiciary are a disgrace, there's no consistency and they don't even bother to hide the fact some players and teams get favourable treatment.

 

[mike]

So swinging arm head high tackles during play are now allowed. RightO it’s on.

 

[WT2K]

Weak as piss the MRC should be out minimum 4 weeks.

Is anyone else concerned at Madge’s reactions towards this? What the hell is wrong with him? Make some noise Madge, don’t just lay down and take it so damn meekly. No other coach would do this, they would defend their players and call out Mitchell’s shot for what it was. Any wonder we’re increasingly becoming the doormat for the refs to wipe their feet on each week.

 

[Geo]

Bwahahaha and a reduced fine for the Garner high shot...

 

[mike]

Just disgraceful

 

[WT2K]

In the words of Geoff Toovey.. There needs to be an investigation. MRC is a joke.

 

[Toowoomba_Tiger]

Did we really expect anything more from the judiciary. What a disgrace. 2 weeks and just a fine for the garner shot
