Interesting to see after last night's game both Burgess and Arthur getting stuck in to the ref. Makes you wonder if you need to do that to get a fair crack of the whip. 

The current SL table order with penalties received added.

5	Warrington Wolves	31	24	7
6	Leigh Leopards	34	24	10
7	Leeds Rhinos	35	24	11
8	Wakefield Trinity	28	31	-3
9	Catalans Dragons	37	32	5
10	Castleford Tigers	28	38	-10
11	Salford Red Devils	23	44	-21
12	Huddersfield Giants	22	25	-3

I'm not complaining about the number of penalties in our matches, I'm all for refs keeping their whistles out of their mouths, but our games and to a slightly lesser degree Hudds, look to be being played under a different set of rules.
Quite bizarre 

It's crazy that you have to get to the 8th placed club before you find another team in negative figures and 10th before you get a worse one than ours. That can't be right. All bar Hull are net 14 or more better off than us. 

Thanks "Wiggin2" for the table.


That is absolutely dreadful. 


I do hope the club have taken this up with the RFL/Match Officials. 


Thing is if MP or an anyone commented on anything like this they'd be fined for bringing the game into disrepute. Trouble is it is clearly the match officials who are bringing the game into disrepute.


 

You could accept maybe 20-30% difference, though even that is extreme. But the fact we've received 60% less penalties than all teams around us makes it clear that refs are applying different rules to our games than others.


Then you double down with the fact that we are losing penalty counts despite being the league top scorers and have the joint 2nd best defence.


It also has to be direction from the refs structure, rather than at individual level as it's so consistent and I think we've had 4 or 5 different refs so far this year.
