Penalties too

Wonder why all games can’t be reffed like this
Wouldn't less penalties be due to the top teams being more disciplind ?

Are you saying the the refs are allowing teams to get away with ruck infringements and offsides because it's the finals ?

Yep just like origin

Every team infringes
Some teams get called on it some mostly don’t

The way the game is reffed is awful they need to sack annesley he’s useless and get someone who has a better feel for the game

Origin is the perfect example of high quality players who don't give away penalties...that's why there's no penalties in origin.

If the refs put away the Whistle we'll go back to hit up, wrestle, kick. Back to 15k crowds and sub par viewership.

I don't understand the idea that games with more penalties = a bad game ? The reason there were alot of penalties in a game is because the teams are crap and undisciplined, it would have been a crap game regardless of how many penalties were given.

So Penrith and storm players don’t give way penalties like say the tigers due to how good they are ?

lol

There have been some awful sides in origins lately that don’t get penalised

Worse is when refs nitpick one side only and not the other in one game

Then have to do get square penalties to even it up

It ruins games

Union is a sport which focuses on penalties or infringements now league has followed for the same result

Roosters got hammered last night with penalties, just as they have all season.

Are you saying refs in the Finals are ignoring offences? Are you seeing players committing infringements and not being penalised ???

The games I've seen have had less penalties because players aren't giving them away, nothing to do with the refs swallowing the Whistle.

I agree some games are over officiated but if refs stop giving penalties teams will push the limits and we'll go back to the wrestle, you remember how mind numbling boring those days were ?

Except for last week, when they couldn't do any wrong until the result was certain.

Maybe the players just decided to be better for 1 week.
It's always the refs fault, not the players ;)

Even last night Roosters fans were blaming thier loss on Atkins for missing a knock on leading to a try, it wasn't the fault of the players who missed tackles or dropped the ball...it was all the refs fault :laughing:

They flew down to Melbourne only to watch their team get their arses handed to them. Gotta expect some cope, don’t you?
