Dragons v Tigers G4 - Bash'em Time
This from Dainel Eade, quite amusing.
The Tigers have breathed a sigh of relief with centre Chris Anstey receiving a suspended sentence from the NBL tribunal after tribunal chairman Ken Madsen altered the charge from, "Striking with an elbow" to "Striking with a shoulder."
But the Tigers had the wheels in motion to take the NBL to court if Anstey had've been suspended and force a delay until after the series, allowing Anstey to suit up if he'd been wiped out.
Speaking before a circus of media, Tigers owner Seamus McPeake was holding back no punches as he laid out what would've happened if Anstey copped a suspension, "We would have been in court this (Tuesday) morning with the lawyers to have an order put in place for the hearing to be heard after the finals series."
But McPeake wasn't done with, ordering his team to combat the Dragons with their own medicine, "Our players will go out slapping and banging because you don't get called for the fouls, you might as well go slap and bang.
"That's what they do and they don't get called for the fouls so we might as well go and do the same thing and set the tone for the game."
