Sutton and Cummins

[Johnny Tobin]

Not the best draw for us.

A "look at me" idiot and someone with a monkey face..

[BenCumminsIsACheat]

Just when we were debating who we would want least, they give us both

[fletch]

lol what a stitch up

[BallyChook]

2 refs who love nothing more than to penalise roosters. Wasn't it Cummin's hatchet job in the Prelim Final against Manly back in 2013? Something like 11 - 2 count against. Luckily we were defensive steel back then. Will need to be again.

Another interesting stat. Based on Tommy's Penalty Differential per Club 2008-2018 there is a whopping 565 penalty differential between us and the Sharks in that time. I'm not sure how that works when they have been a niggle-style team as long as I can remember.

The only way it could be worse is Klown in the box.

Cummins, amongst his many other crimes against Roosters, cost us that semi against Melbourne a couple of years ago. He let them get away with murder in the ruck and there were about half the play the balls in that game than in the other ones.

But we did win the GF with Cummins as ref.

I have the feeling that Cummins hasn't been so bad for us since Robbo called him out. Anyone have stats? Tommy?

[Thirteen]

I’d like stats on The Sharks record under Sutton and Cummins. Tommy?

[rozza]

We've won 6 of our last 9 under Cummins since Anzac Day 2016

Won it notwithstanding Cummins was ref more like!

[Jacks Fur Coat]

#%$&@!!!

[Tommy Smith]

Leave me alone guys

Haha I'd hazard a guess that the Sharks do well penalty wise under every ref.

Their stats in the positive are almost as historic as ours are in the negative!

You'd think the refs would hate their grubbiness but it's the opposite. Weird.

[Spirit of 66]

It is not just the penalties with Cummins, but what he lets our opponents get away with in the ruck.

We should rest most of the team and prepare for Week 2.
