Perenara has refereed us 27 times since 2011 - for just 6 wins.

Since Brown took over the club we've lost 15 of 17 games under Perenara


Since Brown took over the club he has won 23 and lost 67 games.
Somehow it’s the referee’s fault??? LOL

So is the problem the ref, biased and hates team, coach and individual players or is it a case of coach not picking up on problem areas and coaching side to avoid confrontation with ref or is it a bit of both and both sides unwilling to give in. And in the middle is the fan.
over an 8 year period so not just a coach thing. Broncos have the exact opposite with any Sutton refereeing. They rarely lose.

I wish we could blame the refs for continually losing... but that is not the reality of the situation.
The only game I watched this year where the refs seemed to be actively against us was the Broncos game and we ended up winning anyway.

There’s no excuses for the other games. We should be good enough to overcome bad calls and get the result.

Some big calls in the Bulldogs game

And on the flip side we got an absolute rails run against Warriors and Manly and still couldn't get home.

Should have taken those early twos. No way we would have lost then.
This. We showed them no respect and paid the price. The early two's would have been have been the right decision particularly given so many players were backing up from SOO and fatigue factor at the back end of the game.

The doggies were up for it, they were more hungry.

Only one specialist front rower on the bench? What the actual f$&k?! Suppose Klem pretty much plays a full game anyways

Glasby has played plenty of front row, so there's the option of moving him there when Sione comes on

That team as good as can expect, not much options for Mann on wing, plenty in side that can play middle if needed along with JSaf.

Warriors just jumped us on the ladder. If it wasn’t before, tomorrow is 100% MUST win
