Smart snide comment by Ryles! can't fine him for that either. Wished he could've said same about tigers and the six again ridiculous ness of storm game too. Not the reason we lost but it has to be said.
Don't think this was the right game to make that statement especially when the last couple weeks he has said that eels can't blame the refs. Tigers game was the one to do it. Not this one when we dropped the ball so much and gave away stupid escort penalties. Yes the ruck was slow and questionable penalty try but we played shit
Yep like simply put it this way. Not at a single point during the game did I feel we were winning the game regardless of the ref. Just knew we would conceed a soft try or drop the ball
He obviously doesn't want to get fined $10k . His salary is more important than speaking up against obvious continual incompetence in refereeing Eels matches. Despite the fact the refereeing was sub par, the Eels did have their chances but stuffed them up with poor decisions
When there is blatant things like no 8 point try when Penisini hit high as scoring a try, the penalty for attacking kicker that even Ennis couldn't believe and the difference in ruck speed each team was allowed I think Ryles should be questioning the ref win or lose.
But he needs to learn the game, and ask a reporter off record before the press conference to bring it up. Maybe if it was bought up he was going to reference things like it hasn't changed since the tigers game when a ref got dropped only to return to referee the Parra game.
If he just brings up ref alone it is useless as we were our own worst enemy but framing it as hard enough to win with a young side, the speed of game and fatigue but then fighting for equal share of 50/50s and the blatant wrong calls additing fatigue makes it impossible.
"They didn't lose the game because of the Ref. They lost because they were pathetic. Errors upon errors and all those penalties against us were warranted because of stupid players Ryles picks week-in-week-out.
The coaching and game plan to try and go…"
"The club knows its getting fucked over by the officials but they choose to do nothing about it. The nrl don't like or respect us. Until we bring in decent front office a hard arse ceo nothing will change. The club has no balls or will power and it…"
"Owen Pattie on loan would be handy. He's third in line at present for Canberra.
It's a specialist role so the next man up mentality Ryles speaks of would have to be adhered to? It would not be ideal or pretty, anyone but Pezet. "

There were some average moments but we lost this one ourselves, we had plenty of opportunities and made plenty of errors.
He should have mentioned the refs weeks ago when Gough smashed us against tigers
Yep absolutely should've

I have to agree with all of that EA

Yer, same here mate, never felt confidence. Our defence is just a shambles!
