I've known plenty of times when the refs have seems a little biased but never a time like this when they just don't seem to know what to do, which rule to pick, when and how to apply the rules they can recall.Can anyone remember what the run of penalties was leading into that sin bin ?? Had we conceded 3 or 4 in a row for similar offences ?? I do seem to recall that there was a fair time gap between the previous penalty and the one that Trent got binned for, and there was definitely no warning. Seemed like a ridiculous over reaction to me, but you almost come to expect that from the refs these days. I'd love to see the penalty time line for the game and see whether the raiders conceded a similar amount of penalties in a row.

You can see a timeline of the match here;

To summarise, Manly conceded 4 penalties in the 2nd half in a period of 14min 35sec, the last one that saw Trent sent from the field. On the other hand, the 1st half saw the Raiders concede 4 penalties in only 6min 15sec. Just another example of how the officials screwed us over.
Dont forget Greenturds lifelong ambition to turn the soccer mums back to league,sanitize it enough so little johnny dosnt get hurt,have they ever seen the lower leg injuries in soccer.The refs have gone from virtually never using the sin bin at all to the other extreme.
I don't have a problem with its use. In fact, it was under-utilised until this year.
But keep it for professional fouls and punches.
If they want to use it for repeated infringements, it has to be in the same sequence of play and close to a team's own line where they're trying to gain an advantage by giving away penalties on purpose to gain an advantage.
Why is common sense so bloody rare ?
