Could it be they are playing referees favourite Cameron Smiths storm and not the eels.  After not conceeding 1 penalty in 50 minutes against us they already over 5 and it only mid first half.

Conceeded a number of soft penalties and had man sin binned for touching Billy Slater with softest touch ever seen off quick tap.  Poor Billy flew couple metres in the air after Lewis barely touched him.

Earlier in bulldogs game ref calls captain over for chat on the line.  As he returns to centres to defend, South's tap and spread ball.  Could he have stopped it who knows he did get to Inglis before he scored but with goal line defence about setting yourself and communication dogs had no chance.

Keep up the consistency refs, you will have game ruined within couple years.

  • Cause the storm forwards are taking it to the Sharks.
  • The Sharks are very quick off their line always, for their to be no penalty up to 50 mins against us I thought was extraordinary.
  • 16 penalties. What a joke.

    • Their even penalising the chosen one Smith. I don't have a problem with it as sick of some sides continually offside and pushing rules. Also how many times do u see player make tackle and lay all over player looking at ref waiting to be told to get off. The tackle is over refs shouldn't have coach players stay inside or get off tackled player. Blow penalty and they will learn eventually
  • Melb got 10 penalties in first half. Was Cronullas discipline 10 times better against us. I have heard lot about penalties over the last couple weeks and especially this week. They just spoke about it for couple minutes again however no one in media once mentioned parra not getting penalty for over 50 minutes and Cronulla one of most penalised teams of recent years being near perfect.
    • Andrew Voss called Cronulla chasers in front of kicker twice in that 50 minutes of perfection, forced an error and a drop out. No whistle.

      My role in life is to remind Ben Cummins of the worst display since Greg Hartley, Brookvale 2014 when The Telegraph posted 7 still frames of penalties he didn’t blow against Manly after pinging us all game, including not facing straight and Manly (prop Jeff Starling) did it blatantly in the last set when Manly scored their winning try. Hayne was blowing up deluxe, but the more he blew up, the more Cummins blew the whistle. I need to get over it, but every time i see Cummins on the gamesheet, nightmares.

  • Lewis DID NOT touch him. It was cheating. We blow up at soccer for taking dives and they actually suspend players for it but in league we just call it gamesmanship. There is no difference. It's just cheating.
  • The quicker kicking for touch is done away with off penalties the better. Differential penalties or referee discretionary penalties are often unbalanced between two respective teams and if you only allow a penalty goal or kick for touch of professional fouls the better off the game will be. Six again doesn’t allow as big an advantage as kicking the ball out for a further 30/40 meters and attacking the opposition tryline immediately .Penalties will lose a little value and won’t be as big a big bear to fans , players and commentators alike.
  • Refs favourite? Just got 10 in the bin mate. It's not a conspiracy against Parra, we're just playing like shit mate.
  • About time he got 10 in the bin, but seriously the amount of penalties in the 2 games today is a complete joke
