Was just reading this report on Sky Sports website, makes interesting reading.
Discussing whether the effect of the crowd can sway a referees desision during a game.
Quote:On average a team in Super League were awarded 225 penalties over 27 games in 2008. St Helens were actually awarded the most (264) and the other teams all received a minimum of over 200. The exception were Brian McDermott's Harlequins who were given just 170. Now 55 penalties less than the average is a massive amount.

Saints easily get the most, the most ironic thing is though is that are immune form being penalised for offside, it seems the media have programmed it into the refs that it's their linespeed....
