Just watching now and wondered how long ago it was that Ashley Klein was reffing over here. Did Russell Smith go the other way as well?

Klein reffed the 1st game for Catalan Dragons v Wigan in Super League in 2006 he left to go back to Australia at the end of the 2008. The referees were staying in our hotel & Klein gave me his match worn shirt, only for it to be stolen by some other hotel guests! 🤬

Russell Smith actually left the UK for Australia in 2005.

Really tough game today. I thought Penrith got the benefit of the doubt on a number of occasions. Storm await!

Best team won…. Penrith bombed two tries passing when they were over the line

You just can't look past the Storm now, can you? I'd love to see Penrith win the comp, but I can't see it.They might have had the rub of the decisions against Parra, but the best side still won.

No you can’t. I am hoping that the top two coaches in the NRL go head to head and we have a Storm v South’s final.
