Ashleigh Klein is a cheat, doo daa, doo daa

[Mickie Lane]

I thought he went okay the ref except for Sin Binning, JWH. The Roosters scored 30 points after receiving either penalties or set restarts, and the Dragons scored 12 points. So he could hardly be said to be favouring the Dragons.

The Roosters have the 3rd best winning percentage under Klein - 38 wins and 27 losses - 58.46% only Melbourne - 40 - 24 - 62.50% and Canterbury - 25-17 - 59.52%

King can you stop posting things which show the Chooks aren’t getting reamed by Klein.
I prefer to read how we were farked over (no lube) by the ref after we have won.

I thought one of his worst ever calls was when he penalised us for obstruction from the 20m tap. Our players did cross but no one was obstructed because no one was anywhere near Dom Young. The closest was Jack De Belin and he was at least 3m offside right in front of Klein when we took the tap

There is a reason the NRL wants Klein and not the best referee to do the big games. They know Klein will do something stupid and guarantee publicity for the NRL.
The best ref is boring, let's save him for the Grand Final.
If you want headlines let's get Klein or Sutton.

All that means is we’ve won despite him and we were able to repel the Dragons from our line. I have seen him time and time again manage teams back into games too, mostly against us, but I’ve seen him do it in other matches as well. Maybe he thinks it’s his job to keep games close. Robbo commented a couple of years ago on that point, saying that that is not the ref’s job. Personally, my experience watching him is he does have something against us.

100 %.

Fact is he really genuinely tried his best to get dragons over the line against us on Sunday. Difference is this year we are like the tough outfits of 2013,2018 and 2019 who withstood the biased refereeing.

The NRL really have a problem on their hands with this roosters outfit in 2024. Another premiership for us, given how hated we are by their media partners and their bogan readership, would be an unmitigated disaster.

Expect them to pull out all stops to stop us. The trumped up charge against JWH by the MRC the other day is just a taste of what's to come. Those believing JWH has a snowball's chance in hell of receiving a fair hearing at the judiciary are in Disneyland. He's gone for a month, no doubt.

But......we are strong enough this year to be a chance of overcoming their bullshit.
