The guy I spoke too was definitely in the know
I think he was lying to you. Like the following for example
"A man behind me has worked on the board for the referees committee for years and he said he has statistics that over the last 6 years out of any team when Souths get Cecchin we have the worst record for win/loss"
They actually have a winning record. This this great website where we can get info like this
http://www.rugbyleagueproject.org/matches/Custom/MTItLS0tLS0yMDEwLS0tMjctLS0tLS0tLS0tLTIwMTUt
When you add the Sharks game, they have played 26 games and won 15 of them.
Now the Dragons for example

11 wins and 12 losses. I'm not sure about your statistics, but mine say you were wrong.
