Penalties in the modern game

[Big Pete]

Just added up the penalties of each player. Won't that be the team total? Or is TPJ and Lodge left out?

Add Dearden and Copley into the mix and it'll likely make the difference.

Decided to quickly tally the set restarts from last year as well:

Set Restarts 2021
Thomas Flegler - 9
Tyson Gamble - 7
Payne Haas - 7
Jake Turpin - 7
Jordan Riki - 6
Rhys Kennedy - 4
Brodie Croft - 3
Tom Dearden - 3
Anthony Milford - 3
Herbie Farnworth - 2
Matt Lodge - 2
Tevita Pangai - 2
Albert Kelly - 2

Ethan Bullemor, Tesi Niu, Xavier Coates, David Mead, Pat Carrigan, Jesse Arthars, John Asiata, TC Robati, Keenan Palasia, Danny Levi and Cory Paix all conceded 1 set restart.

Probably be good to add how many games each had too. I know that would make my boy one restart every four games.

Good guys Payten and Booze?

Now you know the world has gone crazy

Cowboys coach Todd Payten says lower-placed NRL teams are treated worse by referees than the good sides.
Payten blew up last weekend, declaring: “Teams that have been up the pointy end of the competition for a while now, or have high-profile players get the benefit of the doubt too often, and that’s frustrating.

“That’s my opinion from watching footy for a long time.”

And here are some statistics from the last three seasons when the new rules were introduced that actually back up his claims.

The teams that have had most players sin-binned are the Warriors (18) and the Wests Tigers and the Broncos (15).

The Bulldogs, Cowboys and Titans are also in the ‘top eight’ for most sin-bins, all with 14.

At the other end of the scale the Penrith Panthers have had only five sin-binned in the last three seasons.

This isn’t to say they are getting preferential treatment and it could be that they are just a more disciplined team.

The Warriors, Broncos, Bulldogs, Titans, Wests Tigers and Raiders are also in the ‘top eight’ for most penalties conceded with the Sydney Roosters.

Wooden spooners the Bulldogs have also conceded the most six-again restarts.
