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

        • If he had NFI like you imply JR has NFI as he would have been part of the hiring process.He wasn't sacked he walked I was told as much form my inside guy at the hurricanes.

      • Same here Coryn. Friends that work for the org have said numerous things and shambles is the most polite word used.

        Ive mentioned things along these lines before and have been labelled a 'hater' lol

        • He's worked for a Japanese rugby team . Crusaders and nz rugby 7s hardly anything to write home about. If he was so good he would of been snapped up by a better run nrl or rugby team. 

          Yes we need better administrators but blair mills is not the rob Rowland smith's of the world 😆 

          • I'll say onething not anyone gets to work for the Crusaders there rugby unions version of the Melbourne Storm they don't take on people who don't know what there doing.Mills is highly regarded in S & C circles here in NZ.

            • Brad Arthur was highly regarded as was Stephen Kearney 🤣

        • Give us example of what is shambles, enough for Mills to want out? Not saying you are lying just want clarification.

          • Without specifics, the common theme is that there isnt a clear direction across the org - everything is reactionary, there is more focus on perception and social rather than performance, self serving actions rather than working towards the betterment of org as a whole - people looking to build their own profile etc.

            Im sure there will be some that will say Im making it up and whatnot, so this will be that last I bring this up

            • Is that in relation to coaching? As it could be assistants but can't be Ryles as he seems to be consistent in what he wants and the direction. Added to that MON and Sarantinos so far have let him do it too so they must be on board.

              If it is true, it's funny if they are focused on perception and social yet performance will improve both hahaha.

              Seraph honestly I will not go either side of believing or not as I believe you heard it, but whether it is true no matter the source we just don't know so I will give benefit of the doubt though lol.

              • Thanks LB lol 

                In all honesty if our positions were flipped I would also question the validity of information and take what I hear with a grain of salt

                • Well, yeah to questioning it Seraph...but you are not a noted liar and the info kinda tracks. Does anyone think we seem well run? Not long ago we were full of little fief-lords trying to consolidate some power for their own reasons. Does anyone think that these self-centered cunts aren't still being cunts and acting in their own interest? There is your shambles right there
