The lopsided Penalty count is our own fault.

[Billy Gunn]

We are our own worst enemy when it comes to to the penalty count. Robbo has brought it on himself.
We don’t lay down and milk penalties. This is a known fact, Robbo has taken the high ground and I support him and his crusade but nobody gives a shit, nothing has changed.
‘we miss out on so many penalties because we jus get up and play the ball even when in obvious pain because of a crusher tackle. Nobody cares,
Maybe it’s time to change tactics.

You're forgetting teams who average 3 offside penalties are not offside against us, the Hutchinson knees in the back and the Manu tackle gets completely missed by the refs and bunker against only us,

I'm not playing the victim but these things don't happen to other clubs

As I have said I don't want us to change but I am just pointing out that it is hurting our results.

I honestly thought the NRL would take notice and make some rule to discourage players from taking a dive.

Nothing has changed, we continue to receive the least penalties.

The worst thing about that link I posted is that our team's logo is at the top of the article, yet Melbourne have incurred the same number (currently sitting on 106 with us) but we are the 'screaming headline' so to speak as the poster children for ill discipline. Yet perfect Parra have only incurred 69 penalties..

Bizarrely, Penrith have 3 players in the top 10 most penalised players and Angus comes in at number 10 and Lindsay at number 15:

I won't because I do.

I won't because I do.

Yes don't go and put your hand on the hot stove...it will burn. ..I think Souths have been around the 4th least penalised team on that list..I rarely look at this stuff these days but with all the talk on here about penalties, I thought some would like to see the current stats..open with caution..

so if we didn't play the roosters way we would have more than the three comps in 9 years that we have won?

You only have to look at the stats. How on earth we've conceded 106 compared to Parra's 69 is mystifying..
