Dale Funicane has just smashed Stephen Creighton (who was forced off) with his head - no action.
Viliame Kikau then does a Ravalava shoulder into Tracey - no action.
WTF - clear inconsistencies in refereeing!
If it was Saints we would be two player down.

I disagree only to the point that Crichton run was soft taking it easy (one of the golden rules of taking a hit up what not to do) and then he ducked slightly bracing for collision. Watch it in real speed, pure accident, Finucane did nothing wrong than flying out of the line going for a big hit.
Kikau...agree. He has a history of lazy arm defence

Yes and until the club call them out on this every single time it happens it's going to keep on happening. Keep updating this little video from last year to prove their point.

Not to mention the swinging arm that Crichton can be grateful didn't connect. But Finucane didn't go to the bin, cos he said sorry. I thought I even saw him giving some gob to the ref about it.

Yep the political appointed MRC right on cue, charging Finucane on the injury not on the actual tackle based on the media hype, talk and commentator sensationalism on the highlights reel.
The got the penanly right on field in the heat of the moment. Cleary called it a like a car crash and had to go for plastic surgery. NRL has to react 🤔 🧐

Then we have the forever weekly offending NAS charged twice in one match...but still fines sufficient. Yes Bellamy cannot afford to lose anymore players it would not be good broadcaster viewing.

Then we have the media favs Penrith and the in form KIkau..fine sufficient.

Then we have Tariq, sin binned for a fraction of a second late hit which has happened all this weekend...crickets now
Then the slight turn of the shoulder charge to brace in a tackle. Yes no real arm action. Week suspension.

Who mentioned inconsistencies?. None I can see

Disgraceful decision. Firstly, no stoppage so can't challenge. Ref listens to the bunker, then asks the Cows if they want to challenge, basically saying to challenge as you will win it. Correct me if I am wrong but do you only get 10 seconds to challenge and the time had lapsed. And lastly, never obstruction. Even Feldt was smiling when they showed him. Not condoning violence, but if that was a ref giving a dodgy penalty in the last second he would be lucky to leave to field alive.

If i were the Tigers i would have walked off before the kick was taken.

Not only does a similar escort happen all game unpenalised but why did the clock count down while the Tigers was lining up the kick to then just stop all of sudden at 79.55, then when he kicked it then stop it at 79.59 after the kick. They stop the clock at random now in the last 5 minutes around tries and goal kicks now to give teams a chance to come back in a game all in the name of entertainment and excitement.

Oh well, now it is Cowboys turn for payback for that BS decision. They play the Dragons next week.
We should get the rub of green next week but not holding my breath :)

The small teams always get farked over. Feldt changed his line to run into the Tigers player. Absolute joke. f**k this corrupt sport.

I was thinking the same thing. Is Klein reffing us next week?

Yeah, well... it's good we're not playing the Cowboys after a loss. Better to get them after a dodgy win while they're slipping in form.

That said, that was a shithouse decision on a number of levels. West Tigers were the better team on the day and this was one occasion when the refs should stay out of it. Just blow full time.
