Catalan to quit super league over referee decisions???

Quote: sanjunien "it proves that the officials gave a lot more penalties against TO13 especially away from home

it's not subjective at all - it's the truth

it's like me saying York are a dirty side which isn't true either

i've only ever witnessed cheating by a ref once at an RL game and that was an english ref down for a cup game between a french and english team several years ago - the game was fixed and it just so happened the ref was from the same town as the english team and was mates with the team members - it was a game which had to be won by the english team for logistical reasons - I was tempted to let on to the angry french crowd of this fact but didn't as the ref in question wouldn't have left the ground without being attacked - as it was he left with the english team on the coach which was stoned - it was a disgusting act of cheating by a ref who's still working in the system - I was supporting the english team BTW and had to pretend I was french to get out of the ground unscathed'"

It still doesn't prove bias. Toulouse would be expected to concede more penalties, they had the issue of travelling for away games, something which Catalans have only just started to get used to, Toulouse were one of, if not the weakest team in the comp. Weaker teams generally concede more penalties. There may be a language barrier between the ref & players. Toulouse wouldn't be used to how English refs referee the game, speed of the ptb, move call etc.
It also doesn't mean Toulouse were "dirtier" than other teams.
If penalty stats proved that bias then every season one team would end up thinking the refs were biased against them.
