Man, How much do you hate those Tigers

I'd prefer the fouls being called.
Anstey would get 6 fouls most games.
I don't like watching holding, hacking and bumping.
I think the game is better when called correctly.

Call the fouls. It actually makes the game more free flowing. And, better for the spectators.
( Rather than the holding etc that's going on. Which is frustrating players and spectators )

I don't barrack for the Tigers or the Dragons, and I am not saying that Anstey is not a cheap shot artist. I am just saying that the Dragons are just as bad, actually worse, than the Tigers.

I agree anon.

The Dragons foul as often as they can, they force the umpires to blow their whistles.

The refs don't want to call a foul every five seconds, so they let as much as they can go in order to keep a flow in the game.

The other coaches have to challenge the refs in the same way if they want a fair game.

It is in the umpires hands, if they call all of the fouls they see players will start to get fouled out and re-think that tactic. It is in the hands of the league (who direct the refs) and the refs themselves.

I might be and idiot, but at no stage did I mention the Anstey incident. If you don't think the Dragons get away with hacking all the time then I don't know what games you are watching.

What a completely grossly inappropriate thread!

The Tigers are a professional organisation with high values and integrity who value and respect their opposition, the referees, and the sport they play.

Hang on, my sincere apologies,

I thought the thread was about the Southern Tigers, not the Melbourne Tigers.........

Tigers vs Dragons

They knock the crap out of another player and then threaten legal action if they get in trouble for it.

- The Dragons have been knocking the crap out of the Tigers all series but not getting called.

Their owner is a rich, fat, foreigner who makes sure he ALWAYS gets his way.

- One of the The Dragons owners is chairman of a company (Visy) that is accused of shady business dealings.

They're captained by Chris Anstey, one of the most hated players around the country.

- They're captained by Mark Worthington, one of the most hated players around the country.

They BUY championships.

- If the Dragons win they would have bought a championship aswell.

They play in a pathetically small gym meaning thousands of people cant get into the finals games, the last thing you want to do in a league struggling for crowds.

- The Dragons play in a gym that is too big for them and lose money as a consequence.
