Wests Tigers captain James Tamou fears the suspension he is set to face for his calling referee Ben Cummins 'f****** incompetent' may be enough to end his career.
abc.net.au/news/tigers-tamou-admits-ref-spray-may-end-nrl-career/101354628Wests Tigers captain James Tamou says his "heart dropped" when he realised a verbal attack on referee Ben Cummins may have ended his NRL career.
He turned his frustrations on Cummins and was sin-binned for dissent in the 79th minute but had his punishment upgraded to a sending-off for calling the referee "f****** incompetent" as he left the field. Melbourne hooker Brandon Smith was referred for calling referee Adam Gee a "cheating bastard" in July, and keen on deterring players from committing similar offences, the judiciary banned him for four weeks.
While he is in negotiations to extend his career by at least another year, Tamou said the possibility of his retiring on such inauspicious terms was difficult to swallow."It would be a tough way to go out of a game that has given me a lot.
