Is the Perenara hoodoo over?

was that our first win under him as referee?

if not can anyone advise when our last win with him as ref was?

i actually thought he did a decent job last night.

The hoodoo is now over. Now time to break the premiership hoodoo

  • We won a couple in the first couple of years he became head ref, but we had never won the penalty count

  • Ha ha, My son and I were talking about this today. I thought he turned the corner when he sent Paulo's try to bunker as a try. 

     

     

  • We lost the Penalty count even though we dominated the game? I don’t think the hoodoo is broken. There just wasn’t much Perenara could do to screw us last night. 

    • Agree he was still as biased as all hell from where I sat 

    • Yeah usually when a team is well on top they also get all the penalties. The only time I can remember that this wasn't the usual case was during the roosters deliberate on line defence penalties tactics a few years back, before they started sending players off to combat this roosters tactic.

      Perenara certainly could have found a few penalties for us in that game. He chose not to. In another game with a different team and against us he "might" have found them.

  • He tried.

    But wasn't allowed to bone us.

    A refreshing change from us.

  • Think it was more that we had the ball in hand so much there wasn’t opportunity for him. His call on the Junior try was a surprise.

    • Interesting Browny,

      We used to predict a loss whenever Perenara was the ref and talk about the "Perenara Hoodoo". 

      Our winning percentage under him is now 44%.

      Ours under Brad Arthur's is 46%. 

    • Well I think David Munro and Chris Butler should referee our games moving forward 

  • yes and hes a ex player too...
