I hope that Atkins doesn’t loose his whistle in the last 20 minuets of the game like he did against the Roosters.

 

[supercoach]

These days they all shaft us, but with the Raiders they will have a big call to make…Who do we shaft today, both teams struggle to get a fair go

 

[The_Patriot]

Are there any good ones?

All i know is that any time we leave the game in the refs hands we get shafted. Only way to win is to get to the front and put the game away.

Won’t be us that’s for sure,
the calls never go our way at CSS.

Grant Atkins, Gavin Badger, Ashley Klein and Luke Patten.

AS a group does it get any worse - maybe Perenara but that's about it.

We are going to have to be playing at 150% to overcome that lot.

It doesn't matter whose names you put up as refs for this match, the general consensus will be "we're screwed ".

I'm sick of focusing on the refs and believing we're screwed before we even start the game because of them. The refs and the refereeing is bigger than Ben Hur in everyone's minds at the moment and I reckon it's ruining everyone's enjoyment of the game. If we stop focusing on them and being so negative about them, then perhaps we won't even notice them and they won't have any effect on the game 😛ray:

Time to stop thinking about them and focus on the team that we have and whether or not they can do the job on game day, regardless of who the officials are. Please no more ref threads! If we ignore them, they might go away :laughing:

They cop it more than any other team imo

Not to make excuses but I’m pretty sure I read a stat we have the worst win record with these two refs in charge lol, or atleast bottom 3 with both

Exactly right…...

 

[Cultured_Bogan]

Can we line up Skando's mate to do a cannonball tackle on one of them if they cost us the game?

Not to make excuses but I’m pretty sure I read a stat we have the worst win record with these two refs in charge lol, or atleast bottom 3 with both

Here are the stats:
- Badger: 39 games for 18 wins and 21 losses (46%)
- Atkins: 11 games for 5 wins and 6 losses (45%)

Against both these refs, that is better than we have done against all refs over the equivalent time.

I'm surprised too…

That doesn’t sound quite right. I’m sure Badger in particular has an agenda against us, always blows the pea out of the whistle in our games and never get 50/50 calls

Here's the stats I was using. I assume they are correct.

It also has stats on penalties, and we are on the wrong side of the equation for both refs, but not too bad for Badger.

 

[supercoach]

IMO Badger has been one of the better refs this year although most of them have been rubbish so it not a great feat

 

[Mac_tiger]

I can't stand Atkins and his smug punchable face. Not that i'd ever condone that sort of thing.

That's good otherwise you would get 10 in the bin for foul play. Lol

We win more than 50% of games with only two refs, Sutton and Klein.

Badger is our 4th best shot with a 44% success rate with him
