Set Restarts + Are Ruining the Game

I'm sure not everyone will agree but in my personal opinion Set Restarts in particular are destroying the game and allowing the referee to basically control the outcome of games. Combine the Set Restarts with diabolical refereeing and bunker calls then the whole fairness of Rugby League has long gone. Seriously today's game was disgraceful refereeing ( yes the Eels made some poor mistakes and the younger players are still learning) but a 10-1 penalty count and not 1 repeat set 🤣. This seems to be a continual report on 85% of refereeing of the Eels games. In my opinion the Eels hierarchy need to speak up about the appalling referee and bunker calls. It's not only the Eels coping it but it seems the lower placed teams get the raw end of the stick. Ricky Stuart isn't afraid of speaking up when things go against his team with refs. About time the Eels did the same or they'll continue to be the NRL doormat team

    • Cheque's will be gone by 2030 Will......audit procedures not so easy .....we need a benevolent dictator....hmmm!

      • Benevolent dictators are only benevolent to certain interests. 

        • I thought that one would attract you Tad. 

          Please tell me who is not interested in benficial interests.....Maybe the socialists countries "by the people for the people" how are they looking lately? Of course at the other end of the spectrum we have Trump. 

          Looks like we are not backing too many winners Tad....I sit marginally on the right of centre and there aint much there either. Old fashioned Labour is Albo, he is probably the most trustworthy in that he is fundamentally transparent.

          • What aspects of Socialism are you against Poppa. Health care, Free education, Housing, Public transport, Public roads, Bridges.Pensions for the aged and disabled, council services, law enforcement, and defence. I think we would do well with private ownership of all these community interests with a benevolent oligarchy.

            • "What aspects of Socialism are you against Poppa."

              Easy Tad, "Government"..... all the things you have mentioned are public services under Australian Governments......I believe the public service could be cut to buggery with improved efficiency.

              Take Unions off the agenda and the damage they do in a public environment and again we become more efficient. CEMFU have cause more problems to the Australian economy than Trump Tariffs.

  • Blame V'landys and abdo. These two are rotten to the core. They have their favourites and parramatta ain't one of them. 

    • V'Landys bought to you by the super-clean not-corruption-infested-at-all "sport" of horse racing....The Land Where Gambling is King and "connections" are everything

      Vlandys is  well comfortable turning our sport into an entertainment product. They invited a fox into the NRL henhouse

      He thinks we will watch no matter what. Is he right? 

          • I am going to delete my comment, it wasn't in good taste.

  • It's rigged, pure and simple. Klein believes that the Raiders discipline was pretty much perfect the whole game and that they were never off side and were always square at marker, etc. It just doesn't happen.

    Flanagan had the balls to speak up on some extremely dodgy calls that got the dogs over the line tonight. Parra has to speak up too or this will keep happening 

     

    • It got to the point raiders knew he wasn't going to call anything and just lay in the ruck to slow it down. Moses love him or hate him will get in the refs face and force the issue. We are missing that
