Surely the real question is why do you kick a field goal when getting d!cked every game?Was just surprised you had managed 29 tbh. Thought it was worth mentioning.
He shanked the field goals against the Knights when we drew.I remember 19 of them, It was during Origin and we were arse. Matt Burton was the only reason it got close.
It might have been the game he shanked about 5 field goal attempts, But he got us the 18 pretty much, so what can you do.
I live a good stat but let’s get some context:I’ve got some refereeing stats that will make Sharks’ supporters very nervous.
Under Grant Atkins the Panthers winning percentage rises by a whopping 11.65 per cent. This is the highest of any NRL team under Grant Atkins. Also under Atkins the ratio of penalties received to penalties conceded is a whopping 1.23 . Again the highest ratio out of all NRL teams under Atkins .
Conversely , the Sharks’ winning percentage drops slightly by 1.5 per cent under Atkins but get this : the ratio of penalties received to penalties conceded is a meagre 0.82 under the stewardship of Atkins . That’s the worst ratio for any team in the NRL under Atkins .
So if Atkins gets appointed to this match as expected we have the best performing team under Atkins in terms of winning and behaviour against the worst behaved team under Atkins .
BTW these are not Foxtel stats .
The stats encompass 2011 to the first 4 rounds of 2024 . I can adjust them up until last weekend if I have time. He started his career in 2011 but only controlled 7 games from 2011 to 2013. So it includes 262 out of 285 games he has refereed in the NRL.I live a good stat but let’s get some context:
- what timeframe is that statistic over?
- the increase/decrease in winning percentage? Versus what?
- what is the average ratio of Panthers and Sharks over that timeframe with other referees?
And I know why he would love the Panthers (we are the people’s team), but who hates the Sharks? It’s like hating the Titans; they are so ‘meh’…
While I appreciate the effort you've gone to....I've gotta say you've got way too much time on your hands mate.The stats encompass 2011 to the first 4 rounds of 2024 . I can adjust them up until last weekend if I have time. He started his career in 2011 but only controlled 7 games from 2011 to 2013. So it includes 262 out of 285 games he has refereed in the NRL.
Over that time Penrith have played 353 games under all referees for a winning percentage of 60.76 per cent. Over the same time frame under Atkins they have played 29 times for a strike rate of 72.41 per cent. In the 29 matches he has controlled the Panthers he has given them 158 penalties compared to 128.5 against for a ratio of 1.23 (the .5 is a result of the penalty counts being halved for each referee during the 2 referee system when it was in place) The next best is the Dolphins at 1.14 . Cronulla is last at 0.82 under Atkins.
The other interesting stat is that , using the same timeframe, the Roosters have the worst record under Ashley Klein in terms of penalties received to penalties conceded with the paltry ratio of 0.76 .
Make of that what you will .
TrollSharks should get the biscuits here. Sharkies by 6.
Just to add a bit of contrast here are some more records under other prominent referees:The stats encompass 2011 to the first 4 rounds of 2024 .
