Rugby League Tables / Ashley Klein - Referee

 

[Lyonstomenzies]

Looks like we will be conceding a few penalties then

 

[EagleFromMay1967]

Shocking disgraceful stats. Only the Titans have been awarded fewer penalties by this obviously anti Manly official. Des should get on the phone asap.
The NRL have it 'all arranged'.

 

[Mataiforever]

those stats dont concern me too much

 

[Mataiforever]

- we have won more games than not with him as ref, only disadvantages -0.5, rather than souths who are
disadvantaged -6.5

- he looks pretty consistent v us in penalties. however he looks to favour souths there

 

[Woodsie]

Please .. those numbers don't favour us or Souths ...

Win/loss Manly the same as overall .. we win 53% normally and with Klein we win 53%

Win/loss Souths .. souths go backwards .. only win 51% with Klein ..win 57% normally

Penalties Manly .. in 30 games the difference for and against is 1.5 penalties ... over 30 games !

Penalties Souff's ... with 50 games ref'd it shows they get less than one more penalty per game than normal ... big deal.

I would say overall they favour us slightly ..

Ref won’t decide this game, let’s not start that narrative

 

[EagleFromMay1967]

We'll see.

 

[Rosko]

The stats, or even fears of bias, are not my concern.
Klein is one of the worst referees in NRL history, and boy, that is a high mark to achieve.
Let's try to forget him, until a horrible howler tonight makes that impossible!

 

[wombatgc]

Stats will mean nothing to this useless prick. Expect half a dozen howlers with the fuustick.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

As bad as he might be I don’t think the ref decides this one , a team ( take your pick ) will stand up and want it more than the other.

The 1% plays will win the game, not a referee favouring one side over the other.

 

[sheridanstand78]

Lets just pray that the players decide this match rather than the on or off field officials. That's all I ask for!

Agree that Klein is one of the worst refs ever, but to be fair it seems to be general incompetence rather than bias in most cases. I have no idea how he came to be reffing a prelim.

 

[Shoe1]

Agree, he is not biased. Does his best.

 

[Uk eagle]

I don't think the Klown is biased, just not fit to referee at the top level. Hasn't he been demoted a couple of times this year for incompetencies?

 

[Tragic Eagle]

I hope the 10 metres is enforced and the sides aren’t allowed to move up early.

 

[StuBoot]

Just hope we can control field position, any chance Reynolds gets he'll take the 2.

 

[frank stokes]

...can f*ck right off...

 

[Terry Zarsoff]

Looks like our wish for victory tonight and a premiership tilt next week will be deKleined.

 

[God]

He certainly got them momentum early
