Brad needs to get into the media this week and tell them he will be talking to the Refs boss about Storm wrestling and slowing the game down. You can bet Bellamy and Smith will already have been on the phone.
You need to be a member of 1Eyed Eel to add comments!

Yep encourage Smith to slap/punch him again so he gets sent to the bin.
Yes, I tend to agree. Ball movement, early kicks deep for fullback, isolate him, build pressure.
Very fair call.
Very unlikely.
Brad was asked about the severely slanted 6 again calls last night and basically curled up into a little ball and said zero.
This is when he should push back and cop the fine. We've been on the end of some shocking 6 again stats recently and it continues because Brad and the club aren't addressing it with refs through the media. It was an easy lay up they provided last night but Brad still refused to take the opportunity. All the good coaches do it except for our Brad.
I was disappointed with that Frank, it was a perfect opportunity to say we haven't benefited much from those in recent months and the lobsided count seems par for the course lately.
Don't agree
The reffing of the ruck has been bog average against us. Most of our players are trying to get up quick but in many cases they are being slowed down. It's so bad that even BA agreed with it but did not say......watch the presser again and watch his reaction when he was asked - definite double standard by the refs against us of late with policing the ruck.
Yes Frank agreed; and it will be worse next week. lets see what the refs do...? or do not do.
Lets hope the refereeing is fair during the finals so it doesnt influence outcomes.
Like in last years GF. Refs and bunker are notorious for making incorrect decisions not in the context of each game. Mark my words. The finals will be influenced by the referees.
Coaches can talk to NRL over issues through the week. Match reviews on Monday as well. Didn't a ref come out to Eels to explain a rule at training last year?
