Apparently there wasn’t a six again until the 70th minute in the south’s parra game. The comms, of all people, also called out the referee becoming lax as the game went on and both sides exploiting it by sitting offside.

The nrl needs to inject some consistency into their referees. Union is a cluster **** in terms of their rules but at least their refs adjudicate the same at minute 74 as they do in minute 5. It also doesn’t matter to union refs if it’s the all blacks vs the lions or some FG game with 2000 ppl watching.

Klein was officiating... he's incompetent... he thinks "the best refs are the ones who are invisible" means never blow a penalty or six again unless absolutely necessary.

It’s was an absolute **** show last night. All the niggle in the game is down to the refs inability to control the game.

I’m seeing a massive increase in players policing the game themselves. Pulling and interfering with tacklers, players interfering with the marker, going after players they deem to have “offended”. You don’t get to attack a tackler because your team mate got cleaned up legally.

Did Brad have anything to say about the 6-1 lop-sided penalty count and the only 6-again all to his team's advantage?... nah, didn't think so. His whinge last week seemed to achieved its goal. Back to the most disciplined team in the NRL

What were your thoughts on the ref over ruling the bunker in the broncos vs panthers game?

Klein doesn't blow pedantic penalties... he's useless... he only uses his whistle when absolutely necessary

Eels penalties from the NRL.com play by play were:
1. Dangerous tackle from Illias
2. Arrow tackling a player without the ball (was the dummy back on the inside)
3. Murray lying in the ruck (can't remember this one)
4. Liam Knight blatant second effort on the kick chase
5. Liam Knight back chatting on the above penalty (gets counted twice)
6. Graham offside (was in front of the player after he knocked on a kick)

So only 1 of those penalties is discretionary, that being Murray, but I can't remember it.

Eels penalty was in the first 5 mins for "lying in the ruck"... discretionary and gave Souths a yardage penalty straight away, which almost led to Johnston's try

Victor charged for his headbutt and facing a 3 week ban... nothing happens on the field.

Patty doesn't fall on NAS's leg, gets binned and doesn't even get charged.

The sin bin crackdown is officially dead.

And if that was our Flegs on any other player regardless of their colours, he would have sent-off last night and be facing a 5 week ban.
The inconsistencies have gone past laughable.

Along with the discretionary Murray penalty, the Liam Knight one was BS. Klown got sold on that one. Anyway, I'm not questioning the penalties that were called... it's the penalties and 6 agains that were not called the other way, which often get over-looked. Parra didn't make a single infringement for the whole game (outside that penalty in the first 5)... pffft!

So 2-1 on discretionary penalties... hardly a blow out... Klein was letting everything go for basically the whole game and both teams eventually caught onto it.

Liam Knight pulled him back so he could get back to marker ... it was a clear second effort... Sivo milked it for everything and I thought Klein would still let it go, but it was too obvious and forced his hand.

All teams will eventually realise that Klein just doesn't blow penalties in general... mainly because he's hopeless and doesn't seem to know the rules.

Klown doesn’t blow penalties and yet he blew 6 for Parra. Yeah, ok.

Statistically fullbacks get both injured and knocked out more than 5/8s:
There’s nowhere to hide out there.

If Ponga fails this HIA that might be it for his career, it wasn't a big hit and this is only the 4th game after his last break from one.

Looking at the replay, Ponga was out cold for a second or two.

The wobbly neck before hitting the ground & the shape of his hand/finger's once on the ground....
He was out.
