Ashley Klein appointed for Friday's semi

[The Brain]

Telegraph says Cummins is ref and canberra on a mutiny...lol

[NorfolkStreetKid]

AK47 is as good an option as any.

[Easts to Win]

you've got to have someone.

our record under him -

penalties 127 for against 173 but our winning percentage is 62% which is greater than our overall % of 57% while he's been a ref.

This is why I come to this site. Unbelievable information.

I was thinking more Robbo or maybe Nick if he was up to it.

13 gets my vote

[Thirteen]

I think it should be up to the Chookpen to decide who the ref should be.

Bring back Eddie Ward.

[Johnny Tobin]

Sad state of affairs when Klown is a top two referees.

Ashley Klown Is A Cheat

Not a fan. Has had some shockers with us, and completely robbed us in a semi against Penrith at the SFS a few years back after we were 20 something up. Called a double movement where everyone in the stands could see wasn't anywhere near it and then proceeded to penalise us out of the game.

It was remi casty from memory

A sliding doors moment that may have cost us b2b Premierships.

Anyway I thought the referee was Maxwell.

From the restart they scored in the corner for a 12 pt swing. They showed replay of remi cast clearly scoring under the post but ref never checked. Would have been nail in coffin

In fact it was Jarrod Maxwell that robbed us on that one. Wasn't even close to a double movement.

I'm not a fan of Ashley De Klein but it was either going to be him or Gerard Sutton who are both crap but I would still prefer them over Cummins.

But, it is really up to the Roosters to get their defence sorted because if they can do that it goes a long way to the desired result.

The NRL would never have let Cummins have this game. We got Sutton last week, so that leaves us with Klein.

we were up by 20 in a semi and lost, and you are blaming the ref?? Love it.

Prelim Broncos v Roosters @ QE2

Stephen Clark has been awarded the match. He was the same referee which hammered us in the game versus St George where Gus was furious. Let's hope that the game is refereed evenly and that the Bronco's do not overuse the fact that they are playing at ANZ. This is in fact an NRL promoted game just happening to be played at the ANZ, therefore the Broncos should not use their crowd announcers etc at all.

Sound familiar? 22 years ago in a semi fans worried about a ref appointment.

FWIW.. Clark hammered us
