I'd obviously be very diplomatic about it but I don't see why you couldn't ask the question. There may be a valid reason and fair enough if that's the case. But I don't understand why someone would fork out that money for seats and not use them.

Lost at sea.
some AFL clubs have a deal where i think if you have season seats and cant attend you can put them up for sale online an the price gets reduced off your next season membership.....something along those lines anyway......

That would be great. I reckon there could be people wanting to buy memberships in the Peter Burns stand but can't because they're supposedly sold out.

That penalty against Gallen when he made that massive break was a joke.

Patterson had a year to tackle him and just held his hands in the air.

From memory, didn't De Gois move into the way of a defender? If he stayed still, he might have got away with it.

Patterson deadset gave up on the play. De Gois MAYBE got in his way, but he had plenty of time to still make the tackle.

Another day thats play on.

It was a penalty by the rules, but you are right, Patterson jogged beside gal and made no attempt, they talk about dives, but they never talk about the blokes who just give up on the play and wave their arms around.

You can tell Degois learnt from Farah, and you can tell that Beau learnt from Farah, you can see it in so many Tigers and ex Tigers. Farah let a try in at origin doing the same thing, begging for an obstruction, which he didnt get. Coulda made the tackle if he didnt put on the act

You're right but I reckon we'd be filthy if that was called play on against us. De Gois was in no man's land though, so that didn't help

All I want is ten fair metres. Is it so much it ask? How can refs consistently overlook players in front of them week after week? The tigers got penalised maybe half a dozen times and were offside all game. ****s me off.

I was out of Sydney on Saturday night with no phone reception, no electricity. Don't think I'll bother watching the replay.

Yeah Degois got out of gal's way by moving into the defensive line, when he should of moved in the other direction.

I thought the bite was recorded, to be reviewed tomorrow?

WESTS Tigers winger David Nofoaluma has been cleared by the NRL match review committee of a biting allegation levelled at him by Cronulla's Wade Graham.

Graham made the claim in the Tigers' 22-20 win over the Sharks at Remondis Stadium on Saturday.

But on Monday the match review committee found Nofoaluma had no case to answer when it issued its charge sheet for round 10.

No charges were made by the committee following the weekend's NRL action.

After a heated incident involving Nofoaluma and the Sharks back-rower in the first half, Graham said to referee Gavin Morris:

“He bit me on the head.”

Cronulla made no official complaint over the allegation and Graham refused to comment on the incident after the game.

Nofoaluma — who wore a mouthguard during the game — said that any contact between his open mouth and Graham's head was completely accidental and says he never “clenched”.

“I remember running and as I made contact with him my mouth happened to be open and as I came down I didn't clench or anything,” he said.

“I'm confident I didn't and whatever he thought I have no idea.

“I couldn't really do nothing and it's one of those things.

“I don't think there's any dramas.”

Agree,monotonous offside.Blow as many penalties as it takes in the first ten and thats the standard for the game, can't understand why the refs aren't doing that.
