Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 2829403, member: 1899"] I can't remember any complaints in recent history. In his second memoir, "The Man In The Mirror", Bennett can't help but mention the officials performance in regards to his team's final exit. In 2001, the Eels had a handy penalty count and scored on the back of a play that would later be outlawed. In '02 it was the infamous Harrigan game where Bill had a 'brain explosion' at a crucial point in the game and he was in utter disbelief about that, then '03 Penrith won the penalty count comprehensively. Apart from that, the last time I remember Wayne really kicking up a stink about the officials was in 2007 when Jarryd Hayne took a dive right after the Broncos had the Eels shot to pieces. In response, the media went into over-drive and basically said it was a good thing Hayne suffered an injury because the Eels had actually forced an error, the MRC then found that Hayne had no case to answer for but a Broncos player most certainly did in Michael Ennis and eventually the Eels put on a then record score in the final round after Brisbane had been guaranteed a spot in the finals.
