Win % by Referee - recent stats

[Waylander]

There's always a lot of talk about Ref's on the Pen. I thought I'd have a look at at the stats and see what the real story is.This is the more recent refs, with a qualifying figure of at least 10 Roosters games. A few surprises amongst this lot, but I was more than a little stunned when I saw our record under the current Referee's boss. A very interesting 'statistical anomaly' given our overall record win percentage is 53.6%.

Nice work and thanks for putting this together Waylander.

I get the feeling that after last week's debacle decision on our "no-try", that the refs could be slightly kinder to us this week ...

[Carlos Parra]

Great research Waylander. The % rate with KKKlown in charge astounds me though.

Do you know if Chris and Gerard Sutton and Chris and Eddie Ward are related?

[Kentucky_Fried_Rooster]

Good work.
There must be a stat out there for every team somewhere.
I would like to know what a ratio is against other teams, we might have a 70% win ratio with X ref but that may drop to 25% against certain teams.
Pretty sure the bookies would have those stats tucked away.

[Inflictor]

I get what you've done and appreciate the work but if you apply the same stats then you'd say the refs have been against the Tigers the last 3 years because of their low win rate.
We have been a good team the last decade despite the refs.
Have you got a stat on the penalty/6again counts for the same refs?
I bet Les' left nut the stats would look uglier than those stats.

[Ron Burgundy]

Interesting stats. I hope we get that young up and comer Greg Hartley soon. He shows plenty of promise.

[Bansai Pipeline]

Reading that list I hated all of them. Perhaps unfairly.

I would have happily murdered Steve Clarke when I was a young man.

But a 46.2% win ratio under that emotion-less asshole seems competitive after all.

my favourite hollywood moment was a game easts v i think manly at the scg and stumpy stevens put up a bomb which happened to go between the posts and before it lands hollywood is blowing the whistle with his arm up and running back to halfway. he thought stumpy had drop kicked it and awarded the field goal

My top 3 dislikes would be

1. Badger
2. Klein
3. Cummins

Yes Matt Cecchin . A fair and unobtrusive referee. A pity there weren't more like him !

[Random Rooster]

Yes Matt Cecchin . A fair and unobtrusive referee. A pity there weren't more like him !

Absolutely! He had a knack of getting a feel for a game and letting it flow as much as possible. Most games would end and you hardly noticed him.
On the opposite end is Ashley Klein, who always needs to have his 15 minutes of fame, blowing the pea out of the whistle and taking a axe to one side. Short mans syndrome

[Steakface]

This exercise is inherently flawed because it presumes two things

1. The referee is solely responsible for a games outcome (it can happen, but in most games untrue)
2. The Roosters have always been a top team for the periods outlined

The fact is most games we have lost are due to on field performance, poorer squad than the opposition, poorer game plan that the opposition, injuries etc. There are some instances of referees influencing the outcome, but it is a small overall number.

It makes more sense to look at these percentages too over a shorter time span. Something covering 2018 - now only makes more sense.

[Jacks Fur Coat]

The funniest thing I've seen with refs is that little French one with the mo Julian Rascganares (or sim). Watched a clip of him reffing a game out here and he's in there breaking up fights pulling players by the collar, pushing them around etc. Hollywood Hartley used to do it a bit too.

How funny...can you imagine Sutton or Klein today getting in the middle and pushing players around?
