Matt Cecchin Appreciation Thread

[t-ba]

Breaking news: Elton John to perform a special rendition of Candle in the Wind next week in Melbourne to mourn the end of Cameron Smith's referee career.

And it seemed to me, you lived your life,
Refereeing for the Storm,
Always knowing who to blame,
When a penalty came in.

I'll get my coat...

 

[Pommy]

Anyone know what he actually said to him?

 

[M2D2]

Anyone know what he actually said to him?

"Penalise me? No brown paper bag for you tomorrow"
I was going to do a [SLUR REDACTED] Joke. But.... best not.

 

[Exsilium]

What shits me more is players playing for the penalty, or in tonight’s case, the sin bin.

It’s not in the spirit of the game.

Slater knew exactly what he was doing and Lewis went for nothing.

Bit like Tamou last night.

Gallen should have been binned.

Smith getting binned is years overdue, he’s been pushing the boundary for years.

 

[Spot On]

Smith seemed to look to someone to interpret for him as he had never heard a referee speak the words spoken to him this evening.

 

[jargan83]

One of the great Sin Bins.

 

[insert.pause]

Made the torture of watching the game worth it.

 

[cain3y]

How dare thou speak such words of a future immortal in Cam Smith.

The greatest cheater of all time GCOAT

 

[cain3y]

And the GCOAT goes too.

 

[Danish]

Will be the most requested highlight in in the 2030 reboot of boots n all

If Slater was a soccer player he would cop a suspension for that dive

 

[Generalzod]

So everyone’s just ignoring the fact that he sent a captain to the bin for talking to him? Last time I checked the captain is allowed to question the refs

Come on man his always in the ear of the refs he hardly ever stops talking to refs.

 

[Generalzod]

Gallen deliberate foul on slayer on line to give away 2points and no bin. Good to see this clamp down is working!

They should clamp you down

 

[Exsilium]

He’s such a flog in that regard

 

[Exsilium]

The final series will be interesting if we keep this up.

I’m calling it now, Whitehead from the raiders will be binned today

 

[Life's Good]

Anyone know what he actually said to him?

‘I knew when I promoted you that the power would go to your head’.

Hey hey Tamou’s was a flop but it came at end of a run of penalties against Penrith where the ref had warned the captain twice that next one goes to the bin

Thank god there were so many penalties in the game otherwise we’d of lost by 50

I honestly thought they could have picked a better infringement. Our boys were offside a lot.

Some games they’ve applied that rule and other times not.

If they get consistent then I don’t care how many people go to the bin.

It was pretty funny watching the confused look on his face when they were penalised for offside to let the Sharks extend their lead to 10.

Will they continue to do this?
What if they say next penalty is a binning and then 10 or 15 minutes later the next penalty comes? (Which is very unlikely going off this years games)
