NRL admits bunker mistake

[Curaeus]

Very likely imo. Just hope WT gets a shitload of hush money.

I'd settle for a guarantee-in writing-that Klein never have any on or off field role in any game involving WT

I would doubt if that would happen as it would be a virtual admission of guilt by the NRL that Klein is not impartial when it comes to making decisions involving our club due to Klein's prejudice against us

Klein not a WT fan? I'm shocked!

Next time that he is involved with our games he will surely be reminded about what the WT fans think of him with the placards.

Breaking news!

The NRL has refused to release the audio of the Canberra Raiders' press conference following yesterday's game...

I'm not a lawyer, so I'm not in a place to speak in absolutes about whether or not they have grounds to litigate.

But Lee Hangipantelis is (I know - not his area of expertise. We've been through that).

And if the previous post (screen cap below) is correct, why did V'Landys say he "hoped they would not commence legal action"?

Why is it that shortly after the fact, the ARLC (of which he is the chairman!) called for their own investigation into it?

How's that going btw? Anyone heard?

And why do the tigers have to have precedent?

It's common knowledge this is unprecedented; That's why it's such an issue.

Just because no nrl club has previously taken the nrl to court over...

I understand your frustrations and morally, yes Tigers are 100% in the right. Even by the rules of the game Tigers were robbed.

But in court - it goes nowhere.

NRL don't want this to proceed to court because they don't want to have to bother to mount a legal defence, costing $$$ for Tigers and NRL.

But Tigers have 100% no legal case.

BTW I thought the bunker could have done us a solid and awarded the Laurie try today, obviously knock-on from Doueihi, but would have been a nice karma for Tigers.

I heard Andrew Abdo on triple m today. Said he's confident that it will be sorted in a couple of days.
I don't know what this means.
Maybe a back room deal?
Compensation if we shut our mouths and go away?

100% no legal case? How do you know? Are you some kind of legal genius? If not, stfu.

Annesley needs to be removed from his position along with Klein at a minimum.

That's a bit harsh.

Let's wait and see then - it won't go to court, I am sure if it. As much as it sucks, you can't take the ARLC to court every time you get a result you don't like.

Neither will happen because that would be admitting something more than a error in judgment happened. Annesley certainly needs to be shown the door, but if it did happen he would be replaced with much of the same

You could but you would go broke very quickly due failed legal campaigns. Been said a million times since Kliengate, unless we can prove that the game was officially over and Klein influenced the ref to continue, we don’t have a leg to stand on. Incorrect calls within the legal game time is part and parcel of all sport.

Will be interesting to know what Abdo was referring to when he said..things should be sorted in a day or two
