Refs against us making us tire in games and not being " influenced to help us"
no benefactors or TPAs in cooeee
we don't even have one friend in commentary on ANY platform ( and don't even consider Hindy - he's traded on us being a joke for his own media identity - loved him as a player but has he ever had a spray ???)
andy Raymond is the last major eels fan/ player I think apart from Sterlo
until we are in the " script" it's a sad landscape even when we have improved 110 percent with ryles
we are so up against it
pisses me off no end 🤬😞

We tend to forget the game is barely just the deciding factor. Many games are decided on the script written especially by the media. The Dogs having Gus has been a major factor in their dominance this year. The Eels have never had a big name personality involved in the club, it's quite sad at times.
Sadly I agree. It's hard to watch games with the sound on. Commentators blowing the opposition constantly. Nrl 360 have headline that Galvin delivered tonight 😆
It's very frustrating Carlo, but maybe the only thing that will change the narrative is us?
It was a huge achievement to go into half time 12-12, against possession, the crowd, the officiating, we were against it all, yet fought hard to go in even.
Then, to come out and gift a team as clinical as the Dogs more & more ball by error after error, it's just not good enough.
Our defence is incredible, it's top 4, our ability to hold the football is bottom 4.
I know fatigue plays its part in errors & it just snowballs, but some of the errors truly are reserve grade standard.
Until they stop we give the media outlets all the fuel they need.
Agree with you 100%, just want to see us stop playing to their script? So to speak.
The Dogs are well ahead of us in the rebuild & our direction is obviously great, it's just hard watching the same mistakes still happening 14 rounds in.
Absolutely, Mick.
The defensive improvement is incredible, but, the roster needs work & noticed Ryles mentioned it in the presser? Which is rare. I hope the R&R team can get him what he needs because he's clearly having an impact.
The Dogs were very good too, a bit Panthers like, methodical & patient, as you said, they're at a different stage.
Braith on 360 is fairly positive about us, you can see all the good things in our game but we just don't have the class of players needed to dominate games. Who we sign for next season will be important
And all 4 of them pretty much said that we can't attract players and nobody wants to play for us.
It's time we punt some officials , hire Ben Ikin or something for fucks sake. Pay him whatever it takes, and get some kind of respect from the NRL circles. Or are we thinking our big centre of eggs will make players queue up to sign up ?
Way to attract players is play good footy and climb the ladder, we will have the money but we have to get players interested in joining the club
That didn't seem to work in 20-21-22.
I hate to say it the Scully in me doesn't think that's really enough anymore in this day and age
we need representation on all fronts and where it matters - particularly in the media
we have no CLOUT
