2017 R22 Sun - Panthers 28-14 Wests Tigers @ Pepper

[Kilkenny]

I think danger game for the Panthers with Merrin, Latu definitely out and more than likely to be without Moylan and James Fisher Harris. Certainly down on troops in such a crucial game.

You're playing the team coming 15th who are missing 5 of their best starting 13 from the start of the year. Missing a lock and bench prop don't exactly cut it as an excuse if you lose.

Nice to see Badger gets the team he loves to cane on his 300th the f*#king merkin.

Good luck with those 2 home town muppets controlling the game.
You guys are no chance with those clowns with the whistle.

Warning to all West Tigers fans:
Hometown referee Gavin Badger and his novice puppet Ziggy will favour the Panthers with every DODGY 50-50 calls going to the hometown.
They will punish the West Tigers in the penalty count and won't be accountable for the injustice !
This is the way Badger does things.

i know fans probably make too much of the impact refs have on games, but badger is the only one i feel genuinly has something against the tigers. this is also shared by the tigers club, the media manager confirmed it on twitter before quickly deleting it after the titans game at campbelltown earlier in the year.

I expect the Tigers to put up an initial fight then fall victim to Penrith who have a habit of turning up for matches in the 2nd half.If the Panthers are serious about the top 8 they win this one quite comfortable.

Panthers Wiinning Average Under Badger Compared to Under All refs During Badger's Career- -3.12% (46.0% under Badger, 49.2% under all refs)
Wests Tigers Winning Average Under Badger Compared to Under All Refs During His Career- -1.86% (42.9% under Badger, 44.8% under all refs).

The worst club under him is the Titans with 34.2% wins compared to 44.1% under all refs.

The Dragons, by the way have 6.9% higher winning percentage under Badger than all refs.

Not refs, just badger, no one else. I wouldn't say his cost us games but he seems to make really baffling calls against us every game.

And please look at any panthers game day thread, you're the worst set of fans for complaining about refs out of anyone on here.

 

[Buzzard Breath]

Panthers by 8.

TheFrog,
Nice stats, you can read the stats which ever slant you want.
The true indication is, how many of these games referee by Badger were home team winners and away team losers. I would dare to say the home team would win more games under Badger.
Badger doesn't referee the game for the players or to in force the rules .
He loves making an impression with the home team crowd.
This has been proven time and time again.
That's why he will NEVER referee a GF or SOO.
His file has been marked !!!

A previous poster said it will be a full strength team. Pick one.

It's every week in every thread. It's started mid week BEFORE the game here.

To the thread I think Tigers are better than their results show. Tedesco had a massive game last week as well and could trouble us. Will be fun and I wish I wasn't working because I try to go to Panthers/Tigers games including some away.

 

[betcats]

Tigers in an upset. I can see them highlighting this one hoping to dent Panthers finals chances

Its hard to see the tigers getting up two weeks in a row.

How special are you? Come in here sooking about the ref days before the game then you try and shift onto Penrith fans. "wah wah Badger hates us we will lose because of him...but those panthers fans geez they can whinge about a ref they are way worse than me" lol you muppet.

Good luck this week Tigers, I kind of feel like you will struggle to replicate your efforts last week but if you do we are very beatable.

It's almost as if it is all normal random statistical variation! It's like no NRL fan ever heard of a bell curve.

To be fair, we have a fair bunch of whingers about refs. But it's an NRL thing that really pisses me off, this obsession with "ref bias"

The win last week for the Tigers was a good thing for us... we have a habit of being complacent and lazy at times.
