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

                  Guess what you have to pick one which is it.We are struggling to recruit that type of physicality we've made our bed this is the way foward so what do we do go back to the future and manifest Jnr 20 kegs heavier pull RCG back and roll our sleeves up and go through the middle of teams 😂 

                  Good old Chiefy he's lining up first at the Titanics lifeboats 🤣.Don't worry though Chiefy I keep telling you this isn't turning around quickly and we have a long path ahead.Without good recruitment and development expect much the same next year and get ready for 27.

              • Neither the performance coach or the players are causing the supposed 'drop off' The Eels have played reasonably well most of this year considering loss of players, beginning of a new era, younger players, injuries and suspensions. The Eels almost won a few games they lost, and have lost a few they should have won by diabolical refereeing and bunker calls and it's these diabolical calls that have highly contributed to the 'drop off' as it's hard enough competing against 13 let alone 15 as that's drains players confidence, momentum and enthusiasm. I would suggest the Mills is leaving not because of the supposed 'shambles' rubbish but because of personal reasons

                • Fair Cumberland. I dont know Mills' situation and you may be right. It may be personal reasons.

                  I only know what I have heard from people who have first hand knowledge. These are people that I trust and would have no reason to lie

                  • When you say shambles, it is created by Ryles? Board? Both?

                  • You might be right too but there's always 2 sides to every story. Not everything you hear even from people on the inside is always correct.

                    • Thats true too. Im getting the perspective of people that have that first hand experience. Ordinarily I trust their objectivity as they themselves arent Eels or football supporters, they are giving their accounts of what they experience and observe from a professional level. Im not the arrogant type to concede there is always the possibility of bias so who knows

                    • Seraph you are never one to come out with scoops or anything so we can definately give you the benefit of the doubt.

                    • "Im getting the perspective of people that have that first hand experience". 

                      What people and what experience. Maybe some subcontractors who didn't get a job....Leagues Club or Football Club?

                      Anyone that counts doesn't going public unless they are talking to best friends, is not exactly viable . Best friends don't go public unless they are asked to. What's your objective Seraph, you have been undermining this for a while now!

                      I have seen so much of that sort of bullshit over the years with constant white anting.

                      This "shambles" thing is not related to Seraph's exposure, its about an athletic coach who may have a myriad of unknown reasons. If he is no good, then getting rid of him after 12 months is pretty good management. Shit Happens!!

                      Finally Chief your efforts to down ride a code which is massively bigger than League is pretty pathetic. Defend the coach by all means, but he gains no credability being defended by a "fools errand".

                    • My objective? Im only offering a point of view based on the information I have no different from you. The difference being I dont browbeat others for having a different view

        • Though we also had similar issue last year. It has only been last month or so where we drop off on the back end, before we used to be better 2nd half team.
