Ref and Bunker Decisions

[Maximus]

Annesley in his weekly pisstake wrap up saying that the massive reduction in penalties and 6 agains is not about the referees adjudicating differently; rather it's because of the quality of the games and the teams that played last weekend.

Honestly, I'm in admiration of the bloke. There's no way I could have stood there and said that with a straight face.

To be fair, he's 100% correct. The poorer quality teams get penalised for shit that the good teams get away with, so when the poorer quality teams aren't there, there's no need to enforce those rules.

There was a late hit that was a sin bin 3 weeks ago. Just a penalty now, That is refs changing how they rule on stuff

In the Panthers/roosters game I think I'm right on saying there wasn't one penalty for high contact which I find amazing

Fish got hit in the head a few times, mostly slaps tho, there was high contact on turuva too, none of it called out, there was also a good one on To'o as he was going over for a try,
Don't we have another thread here about wobbo's whingers??? how did it spill over onto this thread

Yep correct. Apart from Watson's crusher, every other penalty was for flops, escorts, offsides.

It was typical good side refereeing where they just let them get away with murder.

Well JHW and Radley didn't play so the highshots were way down

Bulldogs putting in a formal complaint about the try off the scrum. DCE was packed in at lock but his head was in the front row.

The whistle wasn't "put away" when penrith were dominant in the first half, they got 5-1 or something like that penalties/6 agains in that period from memory so one could just as easily say that he was responsible there too. The point being that these swings in calls favouring one side happen every game

On the forward pass I agree with you, he made a judgement call at the time. It is what it is. As a roosters fan it's annoying he was right there and still wrong but you can cop those knowing over a season it should even out. Within the game itself, the core issue for us wasn't that call, it was the rubbish first half.

The Keary one was grossly inconsistent with the rest of the season. That's not Klein, that's the bunker.

Then you have the JFH "crusher". That probably is consistent as a penalty but shouldn't be IMO. When you back in to a tackle like that the defender should get more leeway.

The Roosters received 5 penalties/restarts in the short period they were on top and scored their points. They also benefitted from the non-sinbinning of Keary in this period. There is no way they weren’t game managed to get them back in the game. Overall the there were 8 penalties/restarts to each side.
