Wests Tigers have shot down allegations of a toxic culture at the NRL club that came to the attention of the players association last summer.Three years after former player Mosese Fotuaiki committed suicide, News Corp Australia published on Sunday excerpts from a 2016 report produced by the Rugby League Players Assocation (RLPA).The article quoted an unnamed player that alleged two more players considered taking their lives in 2015.The joint merger club hit back on Sunday morning, describing the front-page article as inaccurate and misleading, before threatening to sue.The Sunday Telegraph obtained a small portion of this confidential report and has decided to publish these unsubstantiated, and unconfirmed, claims, the Tigers said in a statement.The excerpts published by The Sunday Telegraph are a small portion of a much larger report undertaken by the RLPA, with these reports done on every NRL Club at the completion of each season, with both of these facts conveniently left out of the article.Due to the defamatory nature of The Sunday Telegraphs article Wests Tigers will be considering its legal options.One unnamed player said the club failed to enhance player welfare following the death of Fotuaika 2013.Having already had a player take their own life a this club I am scared it will happened again, the player reportedly said in the report.This club hasnt learned anything from that ahppened with Moses.

The move paid off on a major league mound on Monday.In his first big league start since June 7, Latos threw 4 1/3 innings, allowing three hits and one run with three walks and four strikeouts as the Nationals beat the New York Mets 8-1.Latos also hit a solo home run and Antony Rendon added a three-run shot as the Nationals increased their lead over the Mets to 10 games in the Nationals League East.I was pleased with the fastball command, said Latos. I was able to make some pitches when I needed to. I really had an out pitch where I could put away some hitters.Latos had a solid first start with the Nationals, but left the game with one out in the fifth inning with hamstring tightness. He will be reevaluated Tuesday.Reynaldo Lopez (3-3) was among three relievers to combine for 4 2/3 scoreless innings.Latos signed with Washington in June after the Chicago White Sox released him. He was added to the Nationals 40-man roster earlier this month.Ive told him its a chance to re-establish his value, said manager Dusty Baker, and get back on the board as a big-league pitcher and try to find a home and not go from team to team to team because he has good stuff.For the third straight outing Mets starter Rafael Montero (0-1) struggled with command. Montero walked three Nationals in the first inning, including Bryce Harper and Wilson Ramos with the bases loaded.Latos led off the second with a solo homer, before Daniel Murphy doubled and Harper was intentionally walked. The move backfired as Rendon then delivered his 18th homer of the season to put Washington ahead 6-1.Montero allowed five hits and six runs in 1 2/3 innings with four walks and two strikeouts. Over his last three starts, Montero has allowed 14 walks in 11 innings.Manager Terry Collins said Montero will not start again in five days.Its pretty frustrating, because he does have good stuff, Collins said. You can see when hes actually throwing strikes, you know, theres not a lot of good swings. Buut he gets himself in trouble because he gets behind in counts.dddddddddddd.Jose Reyes hit a leadoff double in the first and later scored on a Yoenis Cespedes RBI sac fly to give New York a short-lived 1-0 lead.Ramos and Ryan Zimmerman added RBI singles for Washington.BACKMAN NOT RETURNING:Former Mets infielder Wally Backman will not return as the organizations Triple-A manager in 2017.
