Pretty much expected don't really care as we have so many middles but NRL is sticking it to us

"Yes I know last night was shit. But lets face it, it's Round 1 against Melbourne in Melbourne. No other team has managed to beat them, and on top of the 2 sin bins, the 6 agains, having no match fitness, and the use of Joash instead of forward…"
"I had us finishing 12th-16th and last night reaffirmed that.
We have a quality halfback and the rest of the team are just average Joe's.
We have a average rookie coach and our front office has to be one of the worst in the NRL.
It wouldn't surprise…"

"Storm scored 11-2 tries when they belted us 64-10 in 2019 and then 32-0 later that year: our worst vs that mob. Since 2022, it's been one belting after another: 46–16, 48–16, 56–18, and now 52–4. Lest we forget.

"The rules allow these blowouts. Playing with 12 for 20mins, 6 against, most on 4th or 5th tackle. No team can come back from that, especially when a team as good as Melbourne have 10 and 12 tackle sets. Playing catch up footy just compounded the…"

Errors can 100% come from fatigue, from score board pressure, from defending set after set with 12 men, from your opposition getting 2 or 3 sets in a row to your 1.
The Eels were not given a chance to compete. Arm wrestles form when adjudicating the ruck is consistent, take that from one team, and it’s never an arm wrestle.
It doesn't excuse our completions, the incredibly stupid offloads, horrific defensive reads & efforts - we played right into the Storms hands - but, they can also be results of fatigue, frustration, and scoreboard pressure.
The officiating didn’t cost the Eels the game, they didn’t deserve to win.
But it allowed the Storm to play at a different speed, it changed the momentum, and it changed how both teams worked the ruck.
Their first few tries were a direct result of officiating, against Melbourne, that is all it takes.
The Eels will hopefully learn from this, they will be hurting, we’ll see a different effort in Brisbane.
We can torch the Eels Coryn, the players, the coaches, they deserve it, but don’t let their inept performance justify absolute corruption last night.
…and just happened to come after the Eels were willing to take the Storm & NRL through court.
To be fair Melbourne have been doing the same hold down shit for decades with regards to the wrestle they'll always get the benefit there they are the masters at it.
Thats why we needed to short pass our way through them attacking them in 2s and 3s tipping the ball on continually moving there middle.
Why can't it be both?
If this is the benchmark for how the Eels are being policed this season, any minor or accidental infringement will be punished to the maximum. Biased or influenced refs maybe, but the MRC is a different beast and while we can fight the charges after the games it would help during those 80 mins.
its a long season ahead guys. Maybe the lesser or two evils was to let Bromax go. Making NRL/HQ look the way they did with how everything happened wasnt going to bode well in the long run
Even if we do let Lomax go, we will still get punished for the subpoena to the NRL.
Yeah 100%
I meant more of 'if we didnt push from the start' type of thing. Yeah Lomax would have played against us, but maybe some of the suspect calls wouldnt have happened.
All speculation and hindsight really. Im sure there would have been discussions around potential ramifications for proceeding the way the club did
1 week he copped
whole team should be suspended for that performance
Ryles too for that buttoned up shirt with the patches on logo. The fuck was that?
Hopgood isn't much of a loss to be honest
shame on you
