Well it's also not related to the injury toll like you suggested, because when he posted this same graph last year we were right down the bottom again.

That's damning because it's for MINUS against. It's not just "against", it's pitting what we are giving away vs what we are getting back. Middle of the road to suddenly the worst disciplined team in recent history in just 4 rounds, apparently.
We might be the worst disciplined of all time but what that graph shows is we also are not getting them back. When the previous worst scores were -20 and we're a full 50% beyond that...something absolutely ****ing stinks.

They literally give them a cheat sheet before the game. If that doesn't create some sort of bias I don't know what would.

You'll like this fact.
In stats recorded since 1980, we've received fewer penalties per game than any other team (including teams that were so bad they no longer exist), except for one - The Dolphins, who've existed entirely in the 6-again era.

Twilight Zone team because why not try it out against the Dragons of all teams.
1 Hayze Perham
2 Phil Coates (Didn't do much wrong. Keep him in)
3 Kotoni Staggs
4 Josiah Karapani

8 Payne Haas
9 Ben Hunt (At least his first receiver doesn't have to jump to catch the ball)
10 Pat Carrigan (Take away his passing license)
11 Gehamat Shibasaki (He's leaving, may as well give it a crack while we are missing players)
12 Brendan Piakura
13 Tyson Smoothy (Can we request cap relief for Jensen and Mariner, lets get him back)

2024 we were net 0 penalties and restarts combined. 2023 we were net positive.
I can't find Eye Test graphs before that, but in 2020, 2021 and 2022 we were way down the bottom for penalties received (last, 2nd last and last respectively).
Discipline update by team and referees, plus some Origin selection thoughts - The Rugby League Eye Test
There’s no team specific deep dive this on the Eye Test this week. Firstly, because I can’t put out one of those posts every week of the season or I’ll lose my mind. Secondly, I like to look at some bigger picture trends every now and then to make sure I’m not missing something. Thirdly, I’ve...

The most prolific referees in 2023 and team discipline - The Rugby League Eye Test
It’s been a quiet weekend in the NRL. No Origin build up, no star halfbacks asking for their release, no long standing try droughts broken. Just five games in a shortened round due to representative games. Nothing to see here. That makes it a perfect time for a quick dive into penalty and set...

Yeah I've thought about this in the past. No doubt every ref grew up as a fan - they 100% would have Subconscious bias to their team. I don't even blame them tbh, everyone would.
I don't really care to look it up - but wouldn't be surprised if most of them are from NSW. So yeah, good luck lol. Also apparently Wyatt Raymond is a QLD'er. That dogs game a few weeks ago was the best we've been treated for as long as I can remember. Not a corrupt sport at all
Surely Staggs backs up?

He might but hasn’t he go a similar foot issue to Jiki? They might rest him and if so.

Imagine the scenes if qld lose with pinga getting injures and no walsh even on the bench, walsh has a Mom in this game, and with ganderson back shiba (the origin rep called on to replace ponga) is dropped by madge with a vast improvement in our edge defence lol.
