POST GAME [Round 11, 2026] - Broncos vs Warriors

As much as a lot of the criticism of the refs is warranted.

Let me just say, **** we can play dumb footy.

Carrigan gave away several penalties/six agains today. Lazy efforts too, just laying all over them deliberately slowing things down.

It's Klein you dumb ****, he's never going to let you be Melbourne in the ruck.

Meanwhile we've got other guys running through legs of kickers, high shots, stupid ruck infringements. Just dumb dumb dumb.

*edit* Only victory is not losing by 50 today.
 
We need to train for the ref.
Every ref is different.

I will contribute $100 to Madges fine if he can unleash in the presser.

How do you do that? We literally got penalised for being too slow before even tackling a dude. Same dude won a penalty for rolling himself into touch. We got a player binned for being too slow in one of the fastest tackles of the game. How do you train for this?
 
Klein is corrupt. let's get the stats and make a website proving it.

Warriors are dudded by him just as much week in week out.
Here's the full breakdown of Ashley Klein's record when refereeing Brisbane Broncos games:

Win %​

The Broncos' overall NRL win rate across all referees is 58.6%, so Klein's record with Brisbane (59.6%) is very slightly above average.

Penalties

In games Klein has refereed involving Brisbane, the penalty count is essentially even:
  • Penalties for Brisbane: 177
  • Penalties against Brisbane: 182.5 (dual-referee counts halved)
  • Ratio: 0.97 (just marginally below 1.0, meaning slightly more penalties called against Brisbane than for them)

Comparison vs. League Average

Across all teams during Klein's career, Brisbane's win rate of 58.33% is +5.22 percentage points above the Brisbane team's overall NRL win rate of 53.12% during the same period. That means Brisbane has actually performed better than expected in games Klein has officiated.
