Grant Atkins abused by AFB

[Spartan Eagle]

AFB may be in hot water. But ref surely deserved that spray.

 

[torana355]

To be fair it was the video ref that made the final call, Atkins sent it to the bunker to be reviewed.

 

[Steve76]

To be fair, Atkins managed not to penalise the player tackled without the ball 1 min before hand.

 

[sheridanstand78]

That was really about AFB losing it over yet another dud call from Horsehead.

AFB and Jake felt how we all felt about yet another shocking injustice.

The bunker is a waste of space!!!!

Does the send off mean AFB is automatically suspended next week?

Does the send off mean AFB is automatically suspended next week?

No, but with today’s society the connotations with the word will weigh heavily with the PC NRL so I’d say yes.
If he’d used the CBomb instead probs just a fine.

3 weeks i'd guess.

 

[XV-1]

AFB should and will get at least one week suspension

At least he immediately after the match apologised to the retard

 

[pt73]

We were in the Fulton Menzies Stand, their markers were rarely square and they never got pinged for it.

I doubt we got more than 3 set restarts from their never ending holding down of our players.

horse head maxwell should also get a week.

AFB with priors i think will be gone for at least 3 weeks.

 

[Sheikheagle]

I was actually at the game and saw Atkins get out of the Newcastle team bus.

 

[The better Robbo]

Surely the refs get called **** all the time. I'd say this is not an isolated incident. James Graham got 3 weeks but he was calling the ref a cheat. Surely it's just a fine and play on.

How can a player be sent off after the game is finished?

 

[Spartan Eagle]

I think we should get rid of the bunkers. They should implement what they do in soccer for penalties. The ref goes to a tv screen on the sideline and then reviews the replays. Given they are the ones who had a live view of the incident then get a replay to make sure of their final decision.

In this instance Atkins (aka “f***ing retard”), felt that there was a possible penalty try, could have reviewed the replays and then ruled himself.

This should save some further money because the bunkers are overpaid fucwits.

Unfortunately the last thing we need is less players available for selection. I think we’ll be lucky to have Addin available next week which will hurt us hugely, not forgetting that in several weeks if things don’t change, he still will not be allowed into QLD for the Cowboys game.

Surely it's just a fine and play on.

On a level playing field, yes surely.

It was another horrible referring performance, even Gus said that n tv after the match, he needs to go back and be re-trained!!

He gave Newcastle a lot of 3rd and 4th repeat sets for I don't now what, yet they seemed to be all over us, holding us down and lots of second efforts turning on our back?

The worst was when we were all over them, set to score a few times and they never got back or stood square at marker. We got a few repeat sets but they were blatant penalties!! It's why Parker got stopped for the winning try. Blatant off side. They definitely had the better rub of green and calls go their way.

 

[The better Robbo]

On a level playing field, yes surely.

What does he get charged with? Dissent? Detrimental conduct? Grade 1 is a fine.
Grade 2 is 1 week.
Surely no more than a week

Seriously mate, please don’t use that word it’s actually quite offensive to people who live with disabilities. Ta
