What is going on with the referee and video referee calls. There is an issue that stood out clearly tonight and it is now at the point. You can see how frustrated Gutherson is getting with this rubbish.

Don't think gutho has the best language when speaking to the ref either. But the standard of reffing across the NRL is disgraceful
I don't know - that Russell play. Russell placed the ball on the ground and was held or at least a hand was on him Technically the tackle was complete. I don't know how the referee ruled that it was a knock on ??
I'm with Gutho here , it would be very frustrating to deal with officials that come up with that sort of ruling.
Said it before, probably the worst season of reffing I have witnessed. It's all across the league, though. Not just Parra games. I usually enjoy watching any game of league, but some of these calls makes me limit the non parra games I watch. Just very odinary bordering on corruption.
I always give lots of leeway to the offical on the field but there is no excuse for the bunker calls.
That's the best refereed game all year by the bloke with the whistle though. Cummins is easily the best ref I don't know why they think Klein is. Klein is a terrible ref. Why do we always seem to get reffed by him?
He is. Atkins and Klein are diabolical.
I like some of the young fellas coming through.
I would like to see some of the ladies get a gig but Kasey Badger has put in some ordinary performances in the bunker lately.
Agreed Michael, Cummins is easily the only ref that does it from a players perspective, which also makes it more enjoyable. I would go so far as to say he was a major reason we won the game. He did not overdo the 6 agains (did we get any?) but I feel the crowd influence would have been too much for most of the refs.
If he had not let the game run along, it would have been too much wrestle for us.
The goose that wrote this blog has obviously never seen the way senior players can react with certain refs and get away from, Cameron Smith, Cherry Evans being prime examples, Cummins just smiled at Gutho and said "get on with it".
Obviously our "speech" has never been to the tennis.
Guts was in overdrive on that mess...totally blew our minds!
but then how did Atkins not get stood down after the raiders v us game ...nothing said or done was an absolute disgrace even for Akins himself with a long line of them with us!
that nothing was done about that in a professional sport sums up the whole problem.
A bigger problem is that Atkins is a life member of the Penrith club and should never be allowed to referee that team.....he also is Graeme Atkins son who played in our 1981 GF win, that said he ultimately left to play for Easts and I do not know the terms he left under but he must have said something to make his son hate us the way he does.
I worked with Grant is a previous life. The bloke is a dickhead, always had that "I am better than you" attitude. That said, he knew I was a Parra fan and I never got the impression that he hated the club then. His old man still caught up with the 81 team a bit too. I actually liked him as a referee when he came into grade, but his arrogance really stands out now, and he makes some shocking calls when in the bunker at times.
Is his life membership with the Panthers, or with the Penrith referees, or junior league? That is where he came through the ranks.
