wasn't Klein the ref duded us the first lost against Storms?

Not a fan of Ashley Klown but he’s better than Cummins and Sutton so no complaints. Would rather have Chechin though.

Yep Matt Cecchin is the best ref out there.

Sutton and Klein are either incompetent or cheats (or both).

Overall I just hope we don't score first points then switch off like the last 2 weeks. Refs aside, you can't defend like that and expect to win games.

My mistake, it was Maxwell who robbed us years ago in that semi against Penrith.

I don't think the win ratio with a ref means as much as the penalty counts in the game and the contentious rulings that can't really be quantified unless you have a genius memory or lots of time to review games. Most of the time the Roosters have won despite the ref.

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

Especially seeing he had a successful captains challenge against him just 40 seconds into his game on the weekend. At this point I knew it would be tough for him to get a gig this weekend.

Cecchin is the best ref by the length of the Flemington straight. Yet the last few years he can't get a major gig. Didn't he threaten to go to the ESL last year?
He must have blown off someone to be on the outer.

I think he is gay and the bosses are a bunch of homophobic a-holes.

Just when i think i have no more words for these referees. Klein! Top 2? Please.

cecchin and badger, the guys that make the least mistakes and who fans seem to like and think are fair, are pushed out. Boss Sutton and his asslickers are a disgrace.

Would rather have Chechin though.

I agree. Grant Atkins could be another, but I don't think his performances have been good or consistent enough to be considered for the top games.
