Week one of Finals Referee

[fletch]

Foxsports had an article on the Suttons officiating the Broncos today, they are 26-1 at home over the last 4yrs with a Sutton as the ref, and 10-11 with any other ref.

LoL…..''There needs to be an investigation'' in the immortal words of Tooves. Fair play to the bloke for having some passion unlike some haha.... But seriously, does nobody think it would be a good thing if a few teams come off the field after getting reamed week in and week out. That would really focus the spotlight on the situation or would it open up an even bigger can of worms maybe even for clubs like us.

The way I see it, there is always going to bribery and corruption in sport and you have all these casinos and betting sites as sponsors. Does anyone know how much dirty money gets laundered between the Macau casinos and the ones in Oz and who are some of the guys involved in this stuff and then even more importantly again, what connection some of these guys have within our game because I can tell you it's not bloody rocket science.

Bottom line is that the game is not the same one that some of us grew up with and maybe that's why some of us including me just ''aren't feeling it'' because we know the whole thing has turned into a bit of a joke.

They asked the question on sports radio drive home tonight. “Should SUTTON be allowed to ref finals after last Friday night’s first half?”

i phone in and said said he should never ref again. Mentioned the ploy of penalising teams out of it in first half. Said I was amazed the riff had the spirit to come back after the bollocking they received. I mentioned penalties conceded vs received argument and brought it home with reference to used to seeing it happen on weekly basis as rooster fan.

they declared me clubhouse leader

We would get some combination throughout the finals series to hopefully go all the way.. we just need to be the better side

Exactly. Take it out of their hands. If it’s close, they will inevitably stuff us but we need to not give them the chance.

I'd expect Sutton Friday, Badger or Henry the bro's, Cummins us. Atkins maybe Brisbane.

Pocket ref I'd like to see us get the tiny bloke who confidently pocket reffed the Warriors last weekend and saved them from an absolute reaming.

Well, apparently the Roosters have been given sutton *AND* cummins FFS.

We normally have to overcome 18 to win. 19 is another challenge again

This resonates within me like few comments have on the Chookpen.

Makes me feel all unmanly.
