Yes we can we just don't make mistakes with the errors.Don't continually make errors and give them cheap field position.Complete sets I mean that's got nothing to do with officiating.Refereeing wasn't the reason we got towelled like we did we committed footy suicide errors low completion rates no field position.
If we'd have completed and arm wrestled Melbourne then maybe we have a chance but we did none of that.
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.
Try taking that to the nrl and see how it works NoS.
The difference between this and the court case we had the rule of law on our side not a public perception hear in lies the difference.
I mentioned this last year when we went to Melbourne you have to be nie on perfect to win down there.Playing the way we did sunk us.You know Melbourne aren't going to beat themselves yet how would anyone look at officiating when we gave them the rope and to make it worse they were under strength also.
I give us both barrels because basically we've rinse washed repeated the same performance in both years and unfortunately Melbourne haven't only beaten us they have ruthlessly exposed us.Notice how JR in the presser said nothing about the bias you mention or the officiating.
The NRL aren't going to take any sought of perceived bias seriously they just won't it'll be passed off as sour grapes.As mentioned again we gave Melbourne and the officials the reason we were that poor it's just not going to get perceived the way you want it to be.
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.
Yep, you could see in the 2nd half we went back to the old sideline to sideline attack. Instead playing through them.
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
