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

      • Blair mills has nfi about rugby league mate.  Rugby is a totally different game which requires totally different training loads

        We sacked him essentially 

        Mills is the reason why the team can only compete for 60 minutes.   Good riddance 

        • Really chief?

          What was the excuse for 22 & 23 seasons?

          • Bad arthur 

            • So Chiefy, just so im understanding:

              BA is responsible for the 22-24 drop offs, new performance coach comes in with a clean slate and arguably makes a difference, but the problem persists, the new performance coach decides to leave in under a year and its him that has caused the 50min drop off?

               

              • I can't see how a performance coach who has a rugby background, can have the knowledge to work with sg ball players let alone nrl players.   He was probably a fill in until we found a better choice. 

                Right now, the club is missing 1.8 million dollars worth of forwards with Ofehengaue,  Lane, Cartwright and Matterson all non starters and being contacted to the club for 2025.  

                I believe we're getting beaten through the forwards,  and trying to manufacture going around teams because of it.  

                • Wouldnt that imply that the better choice is found and available before leaving? 

                  so if the performance coach from a comparatively similar sport (as in rugby and league and closer than afl/soccer and league) isnt able to get players fit enough to play, why are players able to code swap?

                  • The club would already have someone for 26, or be in talks 

                    Some players who make the code switch need months to adapt to the game.  There's been plenty from rugby who've made the swap and could never adapt. 

                    • Well if they do they are keeping it well under wraps and misdirecting/wasting peoples time by advertising for the position

                    • Chiefs full of shit he's got nothing he's so blinded and invested in a club that's yet to prove it has any real long term answers to what ales us.Carry on Chiefy have they got answers to ending a 40 yr premiership drouhhgt 🤣 I reckon a 5 yr old has about the same clue.

                • So does Scott Wisemantel the Union coach running our attack have NFI also chief he's a union coach but because he's staying he does 😂
