3 nil to Leeds in resets I was told

Thanks "Wiggin2" for the table.


That is absolutely dreadful. 


I do hope the club have taken this up with the RFL/Match Officials. 


Thing is if MP or an anyone commented on anything like this they'd be fined for bringing the game into disrepute. Trouble is it is clearly the match officials who are bringing the game into disrepute.


 

You could accept maybe 20-30% difference, though even that is extreme. But the fact we've received 60% less penalties than all teams around us makes it clear that refs are applying different rules to our games than others.


Then you double down with the fact that we are losing penalty counts despite being the league top scorers and have the joint 2nd best defence.


It also has to be direction from the refs structure, rather than at individual level as it's so consistent and I think we've had 4 or 5 different refs so far this year.

Even me, whose moaned my tits off the most about this and started the conversation, is surprised just how bad it all looks in black and white. Fans from all sides always complain about various things and when it comes to refs, you rarely have cold,hard facts and figures to back up your argument but we do. It's shocking and simply not right.

 I watched the House of league podcast with Matt Shaw earlier and he's Leeds bias no doubt but he highlighted how they were just about the best disciplined team in the league before the Wire game and how it made no sense how they were then pinged time and again against Wire, while getting very few pens themselves. If only he had a look at our figures! It's absolutely staggering. HKR in a couple of weeks will be a mess, no doubt about it. I'm going for 7 or 8 to 1. 

Also NK, it's the six agains too which we can't find the figures for. 
Leeds seems a typical example with Pen 5-1 in the Rhinos favour together with 3-0- to them on the 6 agains.
Overall 8-1 advantage in sets awarded will skew any match. Seeing that it does appear the lads on the field did a great job with only ending up 2 points down.


We do need to publicise this but the right way to do it is the conundrum.
