Chook.
Eh? this is what I thought of Mander yesterday - thankfully somebody else thought so too. From SMH:
Yesterday's match see-sawed until two penalties by referee Tim Mander against Warriors bench forward Iafeta Paleaaesina changed the game irrevocably. The big forward made a driving tackle on Ben Ross and was dubiously penalised for hands in the head region.
Shortly afterwards, he was penalised for an incorrect play-the-ball, which accrued the Warriors no advantage, with pedantic Mander saying: "Every week he does it."
Penrith scored after both penalties
Personally I think the first penalty was probably fair enough but the second one for not playing the ball properly was a joke. The guy has the strength to stand up with 2 panthers on him he plays the ball and the falls over under their weight - and Paleaaesina gets penalised. To make matters worse he did the same thing a few games ago to the same player. Talk about favourites, or not favourites as the case may be.
OK thats my whinge, whatever happened to the bag the referee thread?[/quote]
