That nerd Ash Klein would be so giddy that cam smith gave him praise.Cam Smith still playing the ref, this time via the media:
Cam Smith says:
“I am hoping (he isn’t influenced). I don’t think he will be,” he said.
“Ashley Klein is a wonderful referee and there is a reason why he’s been given the job to officiate both games of the series. He is a wonderful referee and has been for a long time.
“I thought he did a great job in game one. He let the players play the game, he didn’t try to have too much of an impact on the match. That’s great for players and fans, to see the open style of football.
“There was a little bit spoken about the ruck speed and it was mentioned Queensland got away with a little bit in the ruck, but the numbers show there was very little difference.
“It was a matter of 0.2 of a second (advantage to Queensland). Visually, sometimes you can think a lot different to what the numbers show.
“As far as we’re concerned, we’re going to play a similar style to game one and hopefully that will be good enough.”
