Why Do We Fail To Receive Penalties?

What bullshit. There is a big difference from being an enforcer with controlled aggression, to being a grub.

Hey Johnnysekret, do you have any update for us on the police charges you advised us about that were to be laid against the woman Sam flashed his todger to? You know, the conspiracy organised by Nick Politis. Has Nick got very long to go before he is put behind bars for trying to set up Big Sam? Cheers mate. Let us know of any other scoops you come up with.

Not to mention the charges against people who were posting about the incident on social media. Call it a hunch if you will, however there is something about this Johnnysekret character that makes it hard for me to trust him around young children.

JWH gives it but takes it as well, count the amount of times he went down in a tackle with a Broncos player around his throat.

It's the only way they can stop us continually winning premierships.

Don’t expect more than one or two in Newcastle next weekend.

That's not how I'd separate the two. For mine JWH's aggression is sometimes uncontrolled. I'm not asking him to change his game at all, but hitting people accidentally in the head means you're being uncontrolled. Whereas Burgess, a very skilful player, is far more calculated. That hit on Cooper in the prelim was calculated - and skilfully executed - to do damage on a player who was defenceless as he kicked the ball.

There is no skill in the Bargearse filth. The "skill" may sit with the officials who allow it.

Not many players in the NRL have the devious skill to make that tackle on Coops. You have to get your timing exactly right. His intention was to drive Coops' torso into the ground and inflict maximum damage. And if you're suggesting that that sort of tackle on a kicker should be illegal, then I agree. It's at least as dangerous as going for a kicker's legs.

In 2017 we received 1 penalty at Newcastle in 80 minutes - from an accidental offside I believe.

And in total we've lost 7 penalty counts in a row in Newcastle. But I'm sure that's purely a coincidence of course!

Well prepare for a total "love fest" for the Knights this weekend from all and sundry. With the Knights being on a 4 game winning streak hopes will be high that they will knock us off.

We really need to put them in their place. I wonder if the soft game for the Knights against Saints might play into our favour though.

However, again it concerns me that we we won't be fairly treated by the men (and women) in what-ever colour they are wearing this week.

Do tabs give up odds for who wins the penalty counts?

Good question.
Can you bet on penalties received?

Wow. Hopefully past results are no indicator of future performance this weekend.

The appointment of Annerseley as the new refs boss hasn’t changed the twisted subconscious outlook that plagues match officialdom. His comments and coverage on the Burgearse non sin binning was pathetic PR.

In 2017 we got 1 and it was for foul play.

Big chance it will happen again. It's a great story and all that, the Knights on the march....
