Penalties mean SFA! The 2 points is all that counts.

P.S.
Thank you linesmen, thank you ballboys. Shut this thread down because everyone just got owned. Why? BECAUSE LOOK AT THAT FOOKING STAT!!
For the sake of discerning a pattern:That stat doesn't prove shit, for all we know the last round for most of those teams could have been their first time receiving > 7 penalties for the first time in 37 games :roll::sarcasm:

I don't see how anyone can attribute that other worldly outlier to mere chance. The truth is simple - our games are currently refereed differently.
During 2013 we conceded an exorbitant amount of penalties, and we still do from time to time. But the noticeable change since then is that we now never receive an avalanche of penalties in any game - different to every other club by a long, long, long way.
But yes, yes, I'm a whinger with no facts to back up my argument :sarcasm: I'm not suggesting that the NRL is deliberately out to get us; merely that our games are refereed differently and our opposition are held to different standards when they play us. And the stats back this up resoundingly.
Keep up the good work ol' mate, we need less penalties and more 'play on'. Have you researched where on the field penalties are given, there was a leading ref in the 80's who used to give his favoured team penalties in the opposition half and the opposition in their half . . . of course the count was always even

I think there is nothing in your stats. I refuse to believe the NRL or referees act with anything other than 100% integrity. I also think all bankers are honest, Josh Reynolds is a perfect role model for all young kids playing the game and Mitchell Pearce is NSW's greatest ever halfback.

Sorry that might be a little deceiving. It just means they've received 8 or more penalties in their last 3 games. Hence the 0, 0, 0. I guess they don't really qualify as streaks lol
Still, how can one team receive 8 or more penalties in their last 3 games, and another team currently be in the midst of 36 consecutive games without that many ONCE?
That's implausible.
If a team received 8 pens, 9 pens, 8 pens in 3 straight games... then they didn't have to go a single game without receiving > 7 penalties. Hence the 0, 0, 0. That makes perfect sense. You can't receive 8+ every game and thus be absolved from the statistic. You do record the '0s' if you're looking for meaningful stats. That's just common sense.
That stat doesn't prove shit, for all we know the last round for most of those teams could have been their first time receiving > 7 penalties for the first time in 37 games :roll::sarcasm:
