Hopefully that was the last time that Ben Cummins refereed our games..... He is set to retire!!!

It’s Sutton and the Klown we need to retire. We haven’t had the former for some time now so unfortunately we are due.

Oh he was correct any other day of the week. Choosing a time when his team goes down 72-6 due to their own incompetence was a matter of poor timing, however.

Ref shoulda yelled back something along the lines of 'lol look who's talking mate... nice captaining'.

IMO the crackdown on dissent with insulting the ref being an immediate grade 3 contrary conduct is understandable but a bit overkill. Like I get that you don't want people calling the refs shyte (particularly on camera) but I feel there's much worse stuff you can do within the sphere of 'contrary conduct'. If Tamou missed his last game then it's bollocks IMO.

Yeah I agree. He shouldn't miss his last game for that.... I bet if it was Billy Slater he would've been allowed to play his final game

Is he worse than Suttonx2 Klein or Gee - I'm not sure it's like the reverse of picking your favourite child

Remember this? Someone actually did bring out T-shirts with what Braith said at 1.35 into the video...and gotta love Fitzy...1.48 into the video

Bilby Slater was allowed to play a GF he should never have been anywhere near as well. Thanks goodness his inclusion did them sweet FA anyway!

Thanks for the video. Did you buy that tshirt as well?

Would be an awesome addition to your already extensive collection of tshirts and coffee mugs.

Remember it well - it's not on the clip but Laurie or Waz can't remember which says "he's lost his way here this young referee!" Unfortunately for us he never found his way back!

The game will be better for it when they all retire, we've had Klein and Cummins the last two weeks they are sure to give us Sutton in the one of the next 2 games.

It truly was a scary game to watch..I couldn't even make it to the end of that clip just now..too much aggro..

One of the classic pieces of comedy from Frank and Braith....and Cummo playing the straight man.

We should add that to our list of favourite comedy series..but it wasn't funny at the time..I actually thought of that game on Saturday when James got marched with only seconds on the clock..just like Braith did at the end..

Cummins - I was there the nite when Anastasia got king hit. I have never liked him since then. I will give him the benefit of the doubt with a apparent sub conscious bias on many occasions however it was all there to see in the 2019 GF with his quick call of 6 again but the quick reversal a matter of conscience and the prodding from the bunker. Good ridduns.

[zac]

cummins got that braith anasta one wrong but i can't see the value of tamou appealing. you can't say that to the refs. tamou's speech at the presser was great but the decision to appeal - unless he gets off - detracts from the apology. sounds like tigers management have good intentions but they're often not enough

[bondi.boy]

technically it's an illegal tackle but i'm not sure there's enough force in it to do any damage. it's the kind of tackle that normally goes unpenalised. if the rule makes some reference to force then it might be worth fighting it and risk $500 to save $1000

Wests player did exactly the same tackle, but worse, shortly after... no problem.
LOL
The same tackle, carefully wrapping the legs, "3rd man in" is done multiple times every game by multiple players...no problem.
Cannonball tackles are the problem.
Radley's tackle was nothing like a cannonball.

I wonder if the price will change during the finals series...they'll blame 'inflation'...

It would be interesting to see a tally to see how much has been raked in thus far.

that's what i was thinking but the club has pleaded guilty so maybe i was wrong
