Ashley Klein - some serious questions need to be asked

[HunchoRooster]

I have already said we were very poor, no one is kidding themselves.

Your points are completely valid though. Take the result out of it and look at the decisions in isolation and they are pathetic for a game of this magnitude.

Did the touch judge even flag the pass as forward? Despite being completely in line with it.

Does make you wonder.

Was it Klein that penalised Sam Verrills on the stroke of half time, I believe on the 5th tackle, for a “spear tackle” in 2022? Penrith scored in the next set to go up a try in the dying seconds of the first half.

He has had some abysmal howlers against us.

They were just too good. I’m not going to blame the ref. Thats why our club can’t ever beat the top teams because we don’t address the real issues which is poor discipline, errors, penalties and very bad coaching. We need to let some players go who just aren’t good enough.

I have a feeling that was Sutton.

Still one of the worst calls I've ever seen on a footy field.

Big brown paper bag waiting for Klown at reception.

I believe that was G Sutton. Klein still sucks though

[Vasco]

Klown is a disgrace.

1. Who was offside in the lead up to the game sealing try? How does an elite referee see an offside that doesn't exist?



2. How did he miss the trip?

3. How could he be in line with the pass and still call it forward despite it going backwards. It wasnt even flat? How does an elite referee see a forward pass that doesn't exist? It wouldve been 24-16 with plenty left on the clock... who knows.

This isnt the first time he's come up with some horrendous calls in our finals games.

All correct not to mention Keary getting hit off the ball all night.

[QWERTY]

Klein was abysmal today. That trip and the forward pass, as well as that offside after tackling Luai, was clueless reffing. He cost us the chance of a comeback, but we are to blame for losing. Just a horrible first half and shot ourselves in the foot over the 80 minutes.

[Andrew Walker]

He’s a cheat

[Bruce Pickett]

Klein is extremely biased against Easts. It's not just the recorded decisions, but the unrecorded decisions - the knock ons and forward pass calls against us etc that this bloke makes.

Sutton was running the line tonight

[Chook2]

Honestly how is he number one ref? How does he ref origin? And I presume he will get grand final

you also missed the Keary late shot we didn’t get anything for unless Keary stayed down and then Collins and Keary were Shepard off the ball and Edwards went though
results in a 12 point turn around

Right you are. At least he had the decency to apologise for it, from memory.
