[hackthefortress]

It's pretty simple. The Roosters are the most ill disciplined side for the last 8 years.

But seriously... it's bullshit.

I don't really like the word conspiracy... it's a stupid word made up by smart people to make smarter people seem dumb. The facts are simple. There is an agenda against the Sydney Roosters.

[stsae]

Scathing stats there mate.

Again I am convinced, I just don't know how to convince others.

Maybe our friend who writes for The Wentworth Courier can help???

[Chook]

No, no, no, no, no we're just imagining it.

There's no bias in the refs it is a statistical anomaly.

Chook.

[roosterproud]

so we're screwed. shire will get 15 and us 3 penalties

[Billy Gunn]

absolutely amazing numbers

[milanja]

Funny thing about those numbers, are the teams who have competed in the last 4 grand finals, are generally near the bottom with us, bar souths.

Goes to show that good teams adapt to the conditions given to them.

[BUDDY]

Thanks for the stats 66. I am sure there are many variances that show this anomaly.
Can you get the number of times each team received say 1-4, 5-8, 8-12 and 13+ penalties?
Here are the stats for the 1st and 2nd placed teams in 2014.

[Tommy Smith]

Those stats, including the ones you've highlighted Buddy, show that there is clear bias.

Which is in itself tantamount to cheating.

[Johnny Tobin]

It's shocking.

[fletch]

nothing surprising about those figures any Roosters fan knows what has been going on.

David Middleton last year on the footy show made comment about our penalty statistics for the last decade and he said they go against any statistical trend over a 10yr period in the history of RL.

[stephenj]

and every pone laughed at the asada claim of big money manipulating the games, as long as you have big betting involved there will always be a need for an edge? the bookies want to know who will win and who will lose ? don't tell me the odd ref isn't above a brown paper bag? its de'rigeur amongst liberal politicians anyway Annersley was both a ref and a lib politician, and he worked for newscorp? anyone notice a connection?
