Grant Atkins should be sacked IMO

Seriously,  Grant Atkinson an Hounary Panthers member in the bunker ?? Whats is this ?? Anyone  notice Dylan Walker can having a verbal gab at Nathan Cleary at the play ball restart after the penalty was awarded? Unbelievable..NRL is a joke.

  • That first challenge how the f was that not a knock on by Penrith....that decision helped with their second try

  • Absofckinglutely!! He is a dead set biased and dead set doesn't like us at all.

    We should have a whinge about this as a club ...he has been doing his bias damage to us and in favour of his team for years!

    agree with you Mick in case you can't tell :)

  • If he is an honorary member of the Panthers then he should not be allowed to referee a Penrith game period. That's a blatant conflict of interest and borderline criminal. Besides that the Eels were utterly disgusting today. Totally like an under 10's against the Panthers. I don't understand what Ryles is doing with this team

  • AI Google overview 

    Grant Atkins is a Life Member of the Penrith Referees Association, not the Penrith Panthers Rugby League Football Club. He was recognized for his contributions to refereeing, not for playing or any other role within the football club itself. He has held various roles in the NRL as a referee, touch judge, and bunker official. 

    Here's a more detailed breakdown:

    Penrith Referees Association:

    Grant Atkins is a Life Member of the Penrith District Rugby League Referees' Association. This is a separate organization from the Penrith Panthers Rugby League Footbal

    • Well that's good but I would suggest perhaps there's possibly some type of connection there under the surface. It seems more than just a coincidence in my opinion 

  • When you get a chance have a look at Penriths win/loss record when he is the ref and he was refereeing long before they started winning comps. Every single 50/50 call goes Penriths way and it's very clear he hates Parra despite the fact his old man played with us for many years

    • Yes absolutely ! I'd love to know if Atkins old man was treated badly or we owe him annual leave money or something. It's impossible that this ref misses as many critical calls against us if he has not got a gripe. 

      how he ever got to be in bunker or ref Penrith games ever again after the us vs Penrith semi around 4-5 years back is a complete mystery... was clearly badly  bias and saw nothing wrong with Luai on Moses in that. Every single person watching could but not him.
      And seriously having anything to do with our games it's pretty obvious he not a fan of ours so unprofessional with us.

      • So he was the referee in the infamous final between Eels vs Penrith when the trainer stopped the game when the Eels were on the the Penrith try line and could have won ? Wow, that's more than interesting 

        • In the bunker. He completely ignored Moses getting held back from supporting Penisini from a line break. Clear professional foul and 10 in the bin

  • Grant Atkins has been in the bunker 3 out our last 4 games. The other game he was referee. The corruption goes beyond GA, how does he keep getting appointed Parra games
