MITCHELL Moses faces a lengthy stint on the sidelines following a WWE style clothesline on Gold Coast fullback William Zillman.

The Tigers five-eighth stuck his right arm out as Zillman looked to find space, only to be taken high and placed on report late in Saturday’s match.

Despite a number of Titans players calling for Moses to be sent to the sin bin, the referee chose to place him on report and awarded the home side a penalty.

The Titans trailed 18-12 at the time, however Tigers winger Pat Richards kicked a field goal in the dying seconds for a 19-18 win.

@NRL If that tackle by Mitchell Moses on William Zillman is not a send off in 2015 well nothing is. #refsincrisis #NRLTitansTigers

Feel a bit for @mitchmoses6 there was no malice in that tackle. Just a tackle gone wrong.

#NRLTitansTigers Mitchell Moses should've at least been sent to the bin.
