It was on six tackles with Gus. Apparently a 'bottom team" coach spoke to Annesley when that was confessed but the word "bias" wasn't used.
I understand (not agree) where the refs come from, they will definitely say watch for Hetherington if he does a swinging arm, Radley with a shoulder charge etc.. what I don't like is teams like Parra, Roosters and Penrith continuously get 50-50 calls going towards them, always at the important junctions.
Refs are just easy to blame, the fact is the better team always wins. There are a very few outliers. It's frustrating for bottom teams because they're sick of their team playing shit and can't do anything about it.
