Referees

Hopefully the 'outrage' over the number of penalties today wont result in a chunk of sin binings for Manly tonight.

The arrogance of smith is unbelievable. Basically mocking the ref by just standing inside the sideline like that. And the sideline ref telling him to get off the field and he just ignores him as well. Clearly thinks he is bigger than the game.

Can't believe that Fox read it as a 'standing ovation' for sCam, when they cleerly were jeering him and cheering a Ref that finally stood up to him 😕

it seems to me like the refs are reluctant to sin bin someone because in that 10 minutes so much can change in the game that they don't want to be blamed for the result,maybe they need to revisit the 5 minute sin bin with a clause stating that if the other team scores in that 5 minutes then the player returns.this option would mean that in the worst case a sin binning would cost 6 points.

listening to the stuffs dogs game on mmm & they didn't stop complaining about the number of penalties, blaming the referees yet on fox later after the sharks v scum game tallis said the smartest thing he ever said when he said its not the referees fault but the players & coaches.
i agree with him - i didn't think the day would come but it did!

For my own sanity I am going to assume that either:

1- It was written sarcastically, or
2- The "journo" doesn't know the word 'Jeer'.

It's why I think Coaches never want a 5 min sin bin option. The ref's would be more likely to use it, team can't get away with as much b/s so teams would have to be coached and play within the rules.

The 'player returns' if the non penalised team scores rule is a good one and is also used in (ice) hockey.

If the refs start using the 10 min sin bin more and more, you can bet the coaches, etc will start calling for a 5 min one, or even a 3 minute one.

Watch the video down the page.

Fox totally misread the Shire Crowd 🙄

No homeground Fan in NSW has ever stood and applauded sCam at an NRL game

I watched it during the game. You think the 5 or so shark fans leaning over the railing giving it to scam would have been a fair indicator that he wasn't receiving an 'ovation'. lol

I reckon they may have meant the ovation was for Checcin!

Best way to stop greenturd having the refs blow penalties - get some exotic betting on how many penalties, when, who, where etc. that would open up match fixing, hence stop the penalties quick smart

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

I applaud trying to fix the game but 33 Penalties ??

1 penalty for the first offence, then sin bin.

Next one the same , sin bin

1 penalty for the next type of offence they are trying to eradicate, then sin bin.

When it’s 8 on 8 the players will change.

I’m not talking about foul play here, just the areas they are trying to clean up.

And which ever side adjusts to the new world first will come out a winner!

I am overseas visiting the US at the moment and I just saw the video clip of Scam Smith being sin-binned, wow!! this is 12 years too late and the smug prick delayed leaving the field, what a jerk!!. Finally a referee with the balls to sanction him!!

#NRL don’t help themselves. In midst of clamp down claims Bunker last wk sent 6 clubs wrong game replay video, PLUS leaves #audio overlay on of Bunker telling refs of offside & infringements all game long..

Bunker is NOT supposed to do this.

The fact that the Storm are losing is all the proof you need that the referees' clamp down is a good thing.

If the rules are enforced clearly and consistently, then it takes power away from the sides who are blatantly favoured by the refs.

Watching the Storm spill their lollies because the referees didn't hand them the game was just about the best thing ever. I hope QLD get the same rude awakening during Origin.

Which means - the game's officials are systematically cheating. Well done NRL, you have reached a PB in hypocrisy.
Not to mention, did my eyes deceive me? Or was that Klein on field refereeing the early game yesterday? Wtf? Wasn't he found to have incorrectly stuffed the result of the Tiger's game last week? And yet no consequences??

Klein was massively demoted to..... assistant ref.
