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

                • I don't need to prove anything Seraph. I didn't make allegations. Read your shit again.....looks like a sore point! doesn't it?.....don't bring the royal we " compared to the rest of us" no one has made reference to the "rest of us"

                  Social media is a bastard of a thing Seraph, especially when you end up making yourself look like a whistle blower with no agenda! Only fools rush in where others dare to tread!

                  • Much like you, I dont have anything to prove especially to the likes of you. No sore point at all. I really couldnt care what you think. 

                    Actually I will call your BS when you decide to engage. You are the first person to instantly dismiss any point of view that doesn't align with yours, so yeah much like how you like to bring up families during arguments, I will bring up how you also like to carry on with your smarter than us, 'you just dont understand' argument.

                    Jog on

                    • Well I think you do understand that you don't understand in this case and that's why you have taken so much "umbrage"......

                      offense implies hurt displeasure. resentment suggests lasting indignation or ill will. umbrage may suggest hurt pride, resentment, or suspicion of another's motives.

                      Nothing to be suspicious of Seraph I have no motives, what were yours?

                    • Another new word eh Plop? That calendar is paying dividends.

                      There it is again your famous 'you just dont understand' argument, albeit a derivative of it. Good to see you fall back to a famous classic.

                      your motives are pretty clear actually. To be seen as an intellectual who's responsible for education those deemed less than only by yourself.

                      Here's a thought, if you dont like something don't engage

                  • Coryn did say he had info too Poppa and he is respected by you and a few others here. Not throwing him under the bus or taking his side just saying he claimed the inside scoop first.

                    • Stop talking facts LB lol

                      facts dont matter when it comes to spinning a yarn to attack an individual 

                      I only commented about the performance coach because I saw the position advertised on LinkedIn and shared. Call me crazy, that type of position is one that you would think would be scouted for, not open for public submissions, but what do I know?

                      Not even a close to a scoop, just something in the public space. And for an organisation that is renowned for keeping people well past their use-by date, for a new hire to be 'let go' as claimed by Pops being a good move because he isnt performing, seems

                      a) counter intuitive to what we know of the club, and

                      b) by his same metric JR should be let go for the same 'underperformance' because we're at the bottom of the table.

                      Thanks LB

                    • is that not a  different subject, I think I commented on the athletic coach or what ever he is was....Seraph has a bigger agenda to undermine about the administration.

                    • Context fcukwit, my comment was fecitious about him being let go. I don't even know the guy, never even heard of him......have heard about JR though or is that counter intuitive? 

                      Now you realised all that and in your miserable attempt to rescue your slight of hand, you put your twist on it.

                      I have watched you come through this process before, I wonder what your agenda is. Last time.....I don't have one 

                    • An 'agenda' to undermine an organisation from a fan site...  thats a great one.

                      You either overestimate the influence this has or underestimate the organisation to think they can be influenced by a fan forum

                      Another swing and miss

                    • Resorting to name calling... why such umbridge? Seems I have gotten under your skin again
