Refereeing

[cochise]

He wasn’t biased - just poor. Twice I noticed he disadvantaged Penrith with very late last tackle signalling. On one of them he put his arm up after the Penrith player took the ball and he just hit it up for a changeover

I enjoyed that late call so much.

Yeah I noticed that one as well. For a moment I thought he was going to give them a 7 tackle set. I’d say he got reminded of the tackle count by the off-field officials and then quickly raised his hand. Too late for Penrith though.

I find it funny that Cleary is complaining about the refereeing when his side won the penalty count 17-12. Can someone send a message out to the referees that Cleary no longer wants lopsided penalty counts in his favour as he feels it disadvantages his team?

 

[Yossarian]

He was terrible. Okay if you’re going to go nuts on high shots, fine. But be consistent. Likewise if you’re going to penalise us for going behind a player when nobody is impeded, don’t let them do it twice in the second half and let it go.

The restarts were really bad. At one stage, we got done for a flop when the Penrith player hadn't struck the ground yet, but they got away with three blatant ones in the 10 minutes following. That side of things were very poorly adjudicated.

I thought that was his best call of the night.

At the ground it certainly looked a very poor refereeing effort. It just looked like he was doing his best to keep Penrith in the game. Some of those six agains were like huh? Yet it seemed like we never received one for a similar infringement. Penrith certainly got away with holding us down.

It seemed liked that watching on fox. We had full blown penalties given to panthers coming off our d line and full blown penalties given to them when they were attacking our line. We made mistakes but every team does just don't need ref's rubbing the in moment teams butts

We gave away some dumb penalties, but the most inconsistent aspect was the policing of the ruck & 6 again.

We seemed to be getting pinged regularly while Penrith were getting away with much the same.

You could hear him constantly calling out our players as offside in defence and forcing them out of play, where I hardly heard any directions when we had the ball.

The referees are as poor as they have ever been, but attention is being deflected by the high tackle crackdown

Bang on...we were getting murdered in the ruck and the offside stuff. They were lying all over us and we were getting pinged and harassed to got off quick....so frustrating!!

But really, nothing new.
The refs always seem to favour the "higher ranked" teams over the rest in any match.

That penalty wasn't for Nofa running behind the Tigers player. It was for Seyfarth receiving the ball when he was in front of the ruck at the time of the play the ball, meaning he can't be involved in the play. Was described clearly by the ref on the TV broadcast

 

[Mighty_Tiger]

The ref was fine.
Each replay of the call was spot on.
We may think they are soft penalties but reality is they are now a penalty in every game.

I'd have to watch it again. On Foxtel they said it was for shepherd. I couldn't hear the ref over Ginane and Blocker yammering on.

It was for Seyfarth being offside at thed play the ball then getting involved in play

The question is less about whether they were fair calls in today's climate but more about consistency. We seemed to be more harshly assessed at times.

Off topic but were you the bloke who won the Origin 2 tickets on the Matty John's Show on Thursday night?

They are defeated now just FYI if someone missed it...

Agree with that. Panthers held around the neck a few times which went unnoticed.

Congratulations aren't in order then unfortunately!
