Have the WTs got any officials on our books?

[Pascoes_barber]

Are we going to mention Klein or is that still a sore point?

Well we moved on the Badge, apparently he is working with the rabbits this year, would be interesting to see if they get extra attention from the referees this year.

Isn't this only for Wests Tigers officials? It's in the Wests Tigers section.

Back on topic thanks.

I don't know if the refs are getting worse or we are getting worse ...well I do but sometimes it's easier to blame the officials

Wrong sub-section I think, he plays for the Eels.

Didn’t watch the game last night how did Kasey “Stoner” Badger go with the whistle?
Was she as solid as Belinda ?

Curious whether the NRL are going to wheel out Klown for one of our home games in 2023, I will definitely attend IF they do. Give us our points back! Klowns a w@nker! So many chants ready to go.

I am expecting to get him at least twice and another couple of times making an even bigger fool out of himself in the blunder bunker.So probably 4 times over the year.

Did anyone think that Titan player scored the last try of their game legally. Sure looked to be a dropped ball to me.

Reviving an old thread --

Did anyone see the Panthers v Knights game? Tago's highshot on Ponga. Shoulder direct contact with chin. Put on report and penalty. No sin bin let alone send off.

Am I losing my mind? Have I fallen into the one-eyed cognitive bias I've always fought against? This is very similar to Olam's tackle (some could even say Olam bounced off the chest) and yet a totally different outcome. I applaud that cooler heads prevailed but why wasn't that the case in the Tigers game?

In 2024 we've had 15 sin bins and 1 send-off. Not getting the 50/50 calls is one thing but if that happens every game then statistically that's no longer a 50/50. In fact, that becomes a 1 in 56.21 chance. Something smells fishy here more than the usual unconscious bias against the teams lower on the ladder. Got me wanting to quote Coach Toovey...
