Rugby league great Gorden Tallis and veteran journalist Phil Rothfield have engaged in a fiery debate after the NRL cleared Sharks star Nicho Hynes of verbally abusing a touch judge.
Hynes was fined $1000
for the incident, in which he directed a spray towards touch judge Belinda Sharpe
after the official called a cut-out ball which from the halfback (which would have resulted in a try) forward.
Hynes then raised three fingers on his hands, indicating the number of calls he thought Sharpe had got wrong.
