I would like to know the Stats for tries Parramatta Score or disallowed verse other teams for the amount of times the referee sends a try to the bunker as a try verses no try. Clearly the referee had issues with 2 Penrith tries and asked the video referee to check the issues and yet sent them to the bunker as tries. Yet for a Parramatta try which was clearly a try for all to see and right in front of the ref sent it up as no try rather than try. It seems that this percentage is much greater for Parramatta. A stat like this would clearly show if there is an issue. While the NRL Operations report focuses on just a few issues each week, they should keep a log of all issues, correct incorrect and 50/50 for all matches as they review each referees performance each match. Incorrect 6 again and penalaties should also be available. I do not think this needs publishing weekly but published monthly would give aninimity to the actual ref but would show a trend.

I wouldn't mind knowing the stats either. I think you'll find the Eels are hard done by compared to other sides especially teams up the top. Penrith shouldn't have won the game against Parra last Friday but they're were genuinely assisted by ref and bunker
I do not think it is just the teams at the top. If you look at the calls we have got even in the years we where we at the top we had heaps of poor calls. It seems we need to score 10 more points a game just to compenate for the refereeing.
Go to the second half, the 33 mins to go mark, and listen to the audio. It is the Eels' fourth try, to Penisini. Luai gets tackled in goal and tries to advance the ball into the field of play, but loses the ball backwards. The ref sends the try up to the bunker as a NO TRY, saying "check if Penrith regain possession before Parramatta grounds the ball". But Luai never regained possession. Eels try.
BUT the referee was standing right over the play. On replay it is as clear as day that Luai takes a backhanded air swipe at the ball and never gets near it. How the ref can send that decision to the bunker as a no try but never even ask the bunker to look at the Panthers' winning try where Asi is taken out by Martin IS BEYOND ME
Extremely good point. It's mind boggling and so corrupt
Daz, there are some individuals in the game who are "compromised" at times.
I don't know how widespread it is, but it is the truth. There is a darker underbelly to the game. Well, life, really.
I don't think it can be revealed or proven, notwithstanding friends of a Julian Asaange causing a dangerous Hans Cronjsie shitstorm (who died as the "sole passenger" in a plane with faulty equipment").
As the losses pile up for the Eels, we all want to forget prior games, maybe even future ones. But take the mind back to the Knights game. Again, the Eels, like happened vs Dolphins and Storm etc, were in the game but turnovers leading to long range tries killed them. In that Knights game, what stood out for me was the ref kept sending Eels' fair tries up as no try and the Knights disallowed tries up as fair tries.
I think Baz almost got himself a $10,000 fine in thre presser after the Panthers game by suggesting when a team is "disliked" the ref can rule against them. He corrected "disliked" immediately" as "not expected to win". I'm not too fond of conpiracy theories about referee bias but it's possible Baz, like any coach, would be conducting a foresnic analysis after each game and maybe, just maybe, he is seeing multiple rulings breaking the 'win some, lose some' formula?
Regardless, two Panthers late tries should definitely have went ot the bunker as a miminum. I don't buy the "Liam Martin tripped over" excuse for the final try. When obstruction is denied, the refs usually point to the defender initiating contact, but Asi clearly did not initiate contact. I guess the rule now is that if:
a) the line runner (pretends to?) trip(s) over a defender, and
b) proceeds to take out another defender,
they're allowed to obtain a 2-for-1 deal, impeding both lead and subsequent defender?
We can call this The Panthers' Rule of Non-Obstruction
I was at the knights game and even my mates who are knights fans laughed at the poor refereeing in relation to all the knights no tries going up as try. While eels fair trys ruled no try on field. A journalist could easily expose and follow a trail of corruption with a researched story but they refuse to do that and go for low hanging fruit and speculation
This is the incident I am talking about but there are many others. Listen to the ref towards the end of the game. Even before the tackle is complete he is telling Cartwright make sure you get straight up clearly trying to give momentum to the Panthers. You never heard this when the Panthers layed all over Parramatta. This is why the stats are so important as it can call out the corruption.
The nrl is corrupt its as simple as that. Whilst we have all these betting agencies around there will be corruption. It's all about the money
Exactly 💯
