Blaming the Ref Syndrome

[Evil_Mush]

Warriors fans can complain. Watching thier games as a neutral they get screwed over time and time again.

Well it's nice to feel noticed hah!

I think the thing that winds me up, a coach can call the refs cheats and question their integrity. They’ll cop a fine that will probably sting a little, then they’ll win the penalty count the next few weeks. It essentially makes the fine an investment.

I think the need for a penalty count to supposedly be even is what the good teams will manipulate. The smart teams will give away 2-3 penalties in a row right before the break. It essentially pads the penalty count for them and has them suffer little consequence as the break is coming in a few tackles.

Watch this Dogs/Tigers game and tell me refs don’t try and manufacture results.

The most frustrating thing for me currently is how teams who are clearly coached to push boundaries are not brought into line. Our game rewards teams who push the boundaries of fair play. They treat the officials like complete dummies. The refs really look stupid when they are being openly played.

Penrith and Stephen Crichton this weekend.
