Wests Tigers Fined in another NRL first

[cochise]

I'd be interested to know if it was known to be a fineable offence. Or is it simply making up penalties on the run?


They were warned and given a suspended fine the first time they did it. The stupidity comes to the fore when they did it a second time.


Fair enough then.


On your first point though - you are probably right - i don't think there would be any formal rule that says you will be fined if you do it. I'd say its an understanding between the NRL and FOX/9 that they have the right to have cameras in the dressing rooms. The media probably complained to the NRL who then issued the warning.

I would think it would be in the NRL operations manual that it is a requirement.

how stupid are we covering the cameras no wonder our players can't follow a game plan we are dumb

 

[Elderslie_Tiger]

Easy problem to fix hire some exhibitionists to stand naked around the dressing room problem solved I'm sure they don't have a rule where you can't be naked in a dressing room.

The NRL no longer releases the operations manual publicly but in the past that is where it would have been.

Issue is what were they doing that they covered the cameras for. Surely they’re not stupid enough to do it on accident

Wests Tigers have become the first club to be fined for covering up the camera in the dressing rooms during televised games.
They first did it during Round 8 against Penrith and were fined $5000 which was suspended.
They did it again during round 13 against Newcastle so the fine was enforced.
The culprits apparently were Josh Aloiai and Luciano Leilua, who hung their towels over the cameras.

Our Journalist mate Rothfield reported in Sunday's Telegraph. I'm suprised really because other clubs like Roosters are specialist in cover ups. Alas, Wests Tigers are much easier to catch and fine.

If this had happened last year Turdberg would have awarded us a cap penalty.

Another Buzz Slothfield story - Ignore it
Do we really care what he writes about us everything is geared around negative news.

There's a reason the Wests Tigers have the reputation as being the lowest IQ sporting organisation in human history.

No, that's just your agenda

I was thinking that should be a public document but then I couldn’t think of any other private organisation that releases such a document to the public, so maybe not.

And suspended the coach.

This is the NSW Cup 2020 operations manual, so they still use them.

Hahaha.. Another apologist

We screwed up once, we're warned and fined/suspended

Don't learn... Do it again... Cop a Fine = Stupidity

Lack of hooks in dressing rooms..

 

[TheDaBoss]

I think they did it to avoid being Fined for the cost of Chairs being broken by Madge :joy:

St George is addressing this very thing!

I can see your the type of person that thinks not making the finals for a decade is cool. Must be your agenda.

Seems a fair fine. Clubs get paid and players get paid a fortune and with that comes access for broardcasters and fans. Sick of players thinking they dont have to earn their money and this is a good sign of the attitude that needs to be taken out of the club.
