Is it just me or seems like this game is being reffed differently, head contact not sin binned, a lot of slowing down in the ruck not being penalised
Agree.
I've never seen this ref before, but I suspect he was frozen in time circa 2019, and just got thawed out for today's game.

DWZ should be hooked for the rest of the game.

No wonder the Panthers got rid of him.

DWZ u Paul Carige git.

Honestly how is a scrappy shit game like this better than a blowout?

This game is a perfect example of why the 6 again isnt ruining the game. Unfortunately the referee forgot it exists. There's no footy being allowed to be played which favours the shit sides. But makes the quality of the game awful.

Who is this ref?
This is the slowest wrestling match I've seen. Like storm vs storm.
Glad I'm not the only one who noticed, in most matches that much slowing down in the ruck would've resulted in about 25 set restarts and 4 sin bins for repeated infringements by now

2019 was the last time he was a regular ref. He’s done 1 game this year and 2 last year.

I don't mind what interpretation the NRL wants to use but there has to be some consistency, a few weeks back at magic round if a defender even looked at the attacker the wrong way it was a set restart, this game you have tackles holding down, going back through the ruck, practicing their greco Roman wrestling techniques and it's all sweet

Agree.
Low scores aren't indicative of a tight contest, in this case, the game is a slow bore fest devoid of any quality football. Both teams have been suffocated and we are seeing hit up after hit up.

Penrith v storm = great close low scoring game

Penrith vs dogs = PVLs hairline
