The NRL has no Integrity

[FinestTigers]

Firstly, You can not ask for justice from people who have shown the Inability to apologize or accept accountability time after time.

Secondly,
If V'landys had one little bit of integrity he would have sacked Annesley a long time ago, it is Annesley who is the source of these disgraceful acts and his corrupt so-called referees.

When the hundreds of thousands of WT and NRL fans and commentators called it daylight robbery.,
We are not surprised then at all to hear this morning that an NRL spokesperson is defending this disgraceful error by the refs.

I'm certain that the WT fans would want to see what the NRL will say and how they will defend themselves in the courts with this daylight robbery.

Well said , the Tigers need to take this to court regardless so they can keep dragging the NRL name down , this result needs to be overturned and today , it was a disgrace and will be long remembered by many

If V'landys had one little bit of integrity

There is only one way to address the wrongs committed yesterday against Wests Tigers :
1) NRL to acknowledge the blatant errors made by game officials in the conclusion of the game
2) Reverse the illegitimate result by awarding the match to the Tigers and restore their stolen two competition points.
3) Stand down all those match officials for the remainder of the season including the finals series.
4) Withdraw the bullshit excuses about fulltime whistles/ Captain's challenges etc and JUST ACCEPT THE NRL IS WRONG about this.
The real integrity of the Game is what is at stake here!

the result not only effects tigers but all the other teams chasing a top 4 finish

Even nrl can’t even run their website properly

You watch the live stream and random music starts playing cutting off the press conference

Ffs these guys are clowns

The NRL seem to be okay with taking away Melbourne‘s seasons points, and taking away their grand final win as well, just saying!!!!

just watched the NRL press Conference , throw up in my mouth , but I just don’t understand the jernos , no one ask why the bunker didn’t go back to the kick off and revue the whole thing , on the kick off looks like the kicker is off side so that would give tigers a penalty straight up

I just watched it too. It makes me sad but I cannot in good conscience support a corrupt league. Annesley point blanc has made up a new rule on the spot and is standing by it. It's not in the rulebook it literally cannot be challenged. And if it is allowed to be challenged suddenly there are different rules for the final tackle of the game? Where is the consistency in that?

Its a shame knowing the tigers are building to it's most promising era in the next few years but I can't support it if this is where this saga ends.

Stuff like this can and will happen in a grand final. I've seen it happen in another sport - cricket world cup 2019 the final England vs New Zealand. England got handed an extra run from an overthrow in the last over due to the umpire not knowing the rules. They went on to win the game. Not to mention the boundary countback rule which they obviously never thought that hard about.

For once on Michael Chammas side. Who would have [This word has been automatically removed]ing thought..

 

[member850]

Must be hard for annesley thou standing up there every week knowing that he has to defend the incompetent, cheating bastards

Tamou actually tried to challenge on this basis but got told no.

If the NRL has any desire to demonstrate that is has integrity it will own up to the error and apologise. I don’t anticipate that it will do anything of the sort because I don’t’ believe they have any real regard for rank and file fans.

It will be telling if the NRL simply tries to fob us off. We, as fans, will know exactly where we stand in the NRL’s priorities. I don’t mean just WT fans, all fans across the NRL teams. Interesting times ahead.

I can’t understand how the kicker can be offside? Was he not behind he ball when he kicked it? 😂
I also watched Annersley’s explanation.
What I find interesting was he admitted watching from his home tv and thought the the “escort” was not worthy of a penalty. Then admitted who’s to say if he himself is not wrong.
The bunker have lots of different camera angles, but there must be one replay angle which majorly influences their decision one way or another..this is the one they need to show on the big screen.

This all goes on the premise that Klien is all roses and just made a honest mistake. THIS is as bad as Fine Cotton and should be called the Cotton Bowl hence force

 

[Curaeus]

What we have here is an utterly inept sport administration who will say and do anything to cover up or divert attention away from the regular stuff ups of the well paid bumbling fools they put in charge of the matches they oversee. A legal challenge is unlikely to procure the 2 competition points stolen by the bunkers ineptitude but I'd still love to see a legal shot fired across their bows if only to make the point that we are fed up with their garbage.
