The rare gift of making both teams feel hard done by.
He's a company man Ashley, he knows who pays the bills.
Ashley Klein is a corrupt dud

I hated Todd Smith when he first came in. I think he has been decent lately compared to what he was like. Atkins was great last year but he has had a shocking start to the year. I have always rated Klein for years but I can see why people don't like him. He has a bit of Hollywood about him haha. Havent seen enough of Wyatt Raymond to have a proper judgement.
Im sure it is somewhere but it would be interesting to see which ref blows the most 6 agains and penalties. Todd would have been right up there a few years ago but I reckon he is on the lower end now overall if I had a guess.

Maybe. I was always told though as a ref that if both teams had the shits with your during 1 game that means you were actually doing a decent/fair job.

From memory it was a real pain to get working and the guys making it all work just don't have as much time these days I believe.

The issue was the size of their forum. Silvertails, NZWarriros and BHQ are a lot bigger and more active. So when they were involved, the 3 big sites were spamming their forum, and you would only see a few posts from them.
I have opinions on how that place is run, but what would I know.

So what you're saying is that the Cowboys are a pathetic joke and should be kicked out of the comp?

The NRL refs have been chasing their tails for years trying to find decent middles.
For years they kept it exclusively to NSW refs and put quality QLD refs as permanent touch judges or left them in Q Cup
Sharpe getting starts is mind boggling. Yes a great ref in her own right but looking at speed and endurance she would not beat a front rower over 100m let alone chase down Saab - Walsh
Klown is the outcome of their broken system.

Ban the six again. This is a dominant tackle. They drove him back. Put him on his back. And the ball carrier holds down the defender and whistle blown… six again. Throw it all away. What a joke. #NRLCowboysSouths https://t.co/x0DQaacsg5
What an awful call.
Taumalolo gets driven back, Elliott wins the tackle, Taumalolo interferes with Elliott in the ruck and wins the penalty.
