I’ve just looked at the complete schedule for this round.
Based on past knowledge, it is rare for a referee to do the same team 2 weeks in a row. The theory being having the same ref two weeks in a row gives that team a huge advantage with understanding his interpretations. I don't necessarily agree with that theory.
Therefore this week Klien probably won't referee Souths or Roosters, and Sutton probably won't referee Panthers or Broncos.
So Roosters v Panthers Will probably be Adam Gee.
Broncos v Cowboys, Will probably be Klien.
This leaves the other big high profile game which is our game against Souths. Won’t be Smith.
The logical fits are Atkins and unfortunately, Sutton.
Knowing how much the NRL seem to favor the "self confessed Pride of the League", and they would know of our diabolical record of about 12-15% since Good Friday 2015 under Sutton, the NRL won't want Souths at the bottom of the ladder for too long. Hope I’m wrong but I can see it happening.
A guy I play Golf with regularly is an avid Rabbits fan. He has highlighted to me when I have spoken about Sutton, that Souths have a very similar record under Atkins. So lets hope that Atkins gets the gig.
