James Tamou gave a lengthy apology after being sent off, as he faces the possibility of his career being over. WWOS
"First of all, I apologise for my actions towards Ben Cummins - they do a terrific job," he said afterwards.
"It wasn't obviously directed at him. The frustration got the better of me, the emotions got the better of me and I'll wear any criticism, I'll be accountable towards my actions. Like I said, the actions aren't acceptable towards the jersey, the club, the players.""I probably took the easy way out instead of shaking their hand and looking them in the eye, I took the easy way out and I've got to wear that now, all week.
Tamou conceded it was one of the hardest games he'd ever been involved in, which he said led to him "taking it out on the wrong people"., and said his heart sank when he realised that if he's given a multi-week suspension that it would be the end of his season, and possibly his career.
The Tigers have two games left, and are facing the first wooden spoon in their history unless they can leapfrog the Titans in the next fortnight - but interim coach Brett Kimmorley insists they're still fighting."I don't think it's gone too far - obviously we play the Dragons next week and the Raiders the week after that - we'll find 17 players that are available for us, work out who that is during the week, train really well.
"The big thing is we need to stay together as a group. We're entitled to any bit of criticism that people want to throw at us at the moment, that's where it is.For a daily dose of the best of the breaking news and exclusive content from Wide World of Sports, subscribe to our newsletter by
