Have we ever won the penalty count under Klein and Sutton?

[Bruce Pickett]

Ever?
Yesterday was 7-3 against us.
Under Gee, Atkins and carrot top, I recall winning some.

[Inflictor]

I actually thought the Clown went ok yesterday.
Apart from that challenge we lost where the ball was clearly lost into our player imo. But that was the bunker's call anyway.
Nothing really obvious to complain about.
It all came down to us not executing our opportunities and they did.

I was keeping a running sheet of the match last night. I ended up deleting it because I could not document a blatantly biased refereeing decision that went against Easts. Nevertheless, I had about 20 dot points from the first half, but after half time, about 20 minutes passed without too much controversy and I knew that Easts would lose the match through their own stupidity and mistakes. Rather than post the running sheet here as I had intended, I deleted it at the 60th minute mark. Foolish me.

As much as I hate KKKlein, I'm willing to admit he had little influence over the game last night. Those who watched the last 10 minutes might disagree with me, though.

The main issues I had was the non-action after Tedesco got belted and the elbow to the face that saw Watson leave the field. Surely if a defender is elbowed by the ball carrier (deliberately or otherwise), it's as dangerous/careless as a defender making contact to the face of the ball carrier whilst making a tackle.

That all being said, KKKlein is a criminally corrupt referee and should be rubbed out of the game forever. I'd like to be able to use the same violent rhetoric favoured by democrat anti-Trumpers in my rant, but in a sane world, that would see me banned.

Klein did a good job last night and we got our fair share of the 50/50 calls. He had zero bearing on the outcome, even got the Teddy touching the ball before it went dead call right, which cost us big time.

[SamKerrSimp]

Ben Cummins is the only one I think was genuinely against us. Klein proves every week he is incompetent whereas Cummins saved it for us.

[Bruce Pickett]

One of my favourite refs, Gee, had a shocker in the Penrith v Melbourne game. Phantom 6A against Melbourne, that ridiculous ‘poor sportsmanship’ call against Munster right near the end when the game was in the balance. I thought only we got those sorts of calls. There was also that criminal call against them in the 2019 preliminary against Canberra.

True. I’d include Sutton. Maybe Klein. The Axis of Evil. The three stooges. Now just Dumb and dumber.

[roostermcgregor]

It beats me how Klown and Sutton seem to always get given the important games that the Roosters play, in view of their blatant bias against us.

I think its part of a NRL conspiracy to try and keep us away from winning games and giving other teams a leg up.

But on another note, I am hearing a tale of a fluffy bunny who went for a swim, and got mauled by a shark.

I couldn't be happier.

Looks like that sharks may take some beating, come the pointy end of the season.

I think Sutton is another one who is incompetent but he is that way because he thinks he's the smartest man in the game but he makes horrible decisions every week. I think it was Klein who was the video ref for the Cowboys v Tigers fiasco ending a few years ago and he ruins origin every year whereas Cummins saved his worst for us.

That's exactly what it came down to 70% completion rate aint good but as shown in recent campaigns, Trent gradually improves that and by just after Origin they'e usually humming as a team. The Wahs are big and athletic and always give us a torrid time usually winning one of the contests. Nevertheless, the team hung in despite the poor completion, penalty count, injuries and a solid opposition. Whyte again led with a will and apart from Toups all played competently except for the completions.

[ism22]

If we have then it'll be a situation where they gave us a stack of late, overdue penalties, early in the tackle count and they'll have had no bearing on the outcome.

They've got their cheat sheets on who to look out for and it's always us.

He went ok by his standards for us However as the game wore on in a subtle way I thought his dislike for us began to surface

Watching Souffs get smashed is one of the simple pleasures in life.

The Sharks are the real deal this season. AFB is a beast!

Lol I'll pay that.

We're still trying to work out what that stain is on Jacks Fur Coat. Could it potentially have something to do with the simple pleasures in life?

BTW - Fark Peter Dutton!
