Refereeing Standards - It crap! + Ben Hunt Sin Bin threads

[MilanDragon]

Was interesting to hear in the presser that Mcgregor went through the ‘right’ channels during the week and said he would again this week and not comment in the presser.

Yet coaches who blow up seem to get the better result out of it. What a joke.

Maybe Mary isn't on enough coin to afford a big fine?

It is pots luck with these blokes nowadays , it really is , but it won’t be happening to the clubs that that have an official mouthpiece and can say just what is on their minds to ensure that they will be overlooked for the same offense next time - and the Dragons are not one of those clubs .

[Dragon Blood]

The refereeing of the Dragons past two games has been suspect at best

Coach and hierarchy have no nads or money to cop a fine or challenge to the WWE tactics of Green-turt and the NRL trying to fix results to maximum results come the end of season ratings

This game is a business now, it's all pretty much staged to a maximum $$$$$ outcome

I'll say it in a different way:
The refs were unlucky tonight

Well said

The crackdown on the ruck over the last month certainly hasn't helped us! This might be my red and white goggles but watching the other top 4 sides, they seem to get a lot more leniency and time to lay down in the ruck than we do.

There's no doubt they like sticking the f**ken boot into us the most.....the twats

 

[Gomarchin]

The problem with refs has occurred ever since we appointed the ex Ref Luke Phillips to help out. I honestly beleive this has backfired big time. Some of the penalties and the sin binning today were soft.

Yes very amature set up at nrl headquarters

 

[Saint_JimmyG]

After being four-nil down in the penalty count, I thought the same nightmare that occurred against Parramatta was set to continue,

Thankfully it didn’t,

The Hunt sin binning was complete bull,

Was that the fourth consecutive week the Dragons have suffered due to incompetent officiating?

We have been on the wrong side of the refs for the last few weeks. Seriously, what are we doing that other teams aren't? For some reason, we are getting penalised out of the game for the first 20 or 30 minutes. Based on tonight's results, hopefully we've built up a bit of resistance to the penalty avalanche.

True Believer.
Couldn't agree more.
Against a good team, to concede 7 or 8 pen in a row game over.
We sould get the refs boss to come to training and explain, what we are doing wrong.

 

[dragonssamy61]

We got bugger all tonight. 2 very noticeable ones were a Lafai dominant tackle and later, Sims (working) which were both penalised. Lafai literally got straight up off the ruck yet was pinged, whilst Sims had every right to 'work' the ruck, after snapping old mate.

Couldn't agree more tumbidragon.
They were just great tackles.

 

[Bests Golden Boots]

Both the sin bins in the past weeks have been disgraceful refereeing,when will the referees ever be consistent,if they are we will have the majority of players in the bin.

The Sharks are masters at giving away penaltys on thier own line, never get binned.

Very cynical view but one has to wonder, WTF?

 

[JohnnoMcJohnno]

To be kind, there were a lot of home side decisions in the Tigers match. We don't seem to get those when we are at home. Instead we are front runners at being penalised for whatever the refs have been told to crack down on each week.

IMaybe we haven't been attending referee briefings?

 

[St from the Gong]

Where was McInnes & frizzel last night (and gaz last week) asking questions of the ref to why only our is being penalised.

Can you imagine Smith, Gallen et al being so quiet in a similar position

What happened to that bloke we signed, can’t remember his name that was supposed to get our team schooled in playing better under the rules.
It’s not working guys

Sims had no need for the second effort elbow to the chin - very poor discipline after a great initial hit. However the 5th tackle penalty against Kurt Mann was a complete WTF

[FlameThrower]

I thought Lafai / Kurt and Hunts penalty’s were crap . We seem to have a quicker stop watch than other teams when it comes to blowing a penalty as well !!!
Having said that - we need to sort this out as any afford to give away massive advantages with repeat sets, more tackling and risk of players in the bin. We are a target for some reason..

 

[Maxwell]

The refs are not consistent in all calls, each ref has a different interpretation of rules. The top teams or certain teams get away with things other teams will be penalised for. Penalisethe wrestling and the other things will fix themselves, and will speed up the game without reducing the interchange numbers. One of the worst is the defenders who run back into defensive line getting in the road of attacking players and not been penalised. We need a new referees boss, some one with a league back ground, who understands rugby league, not these x referees.
