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 kick back, because you do, but if she has bothered enough to update me, to still give a shit about the lenses i veiw the world and care what I think, then i will chew on it and try to absorb it. She's no dummy, so the updates usually stick

                    • I will find that...Mr Becket sounds like a serious dude.

                      I just watched Andor...loved it.  It strips rebellion of its romance, and shows that is fueled by sacrifice. It costs. Small people doing small things, what they can, to clog the gears, while the big boys aim up. 

  • 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 

      • True Moses at least is willing to challenge these decisions. 

      • That is what we are lacking in our forward pack mainly, a prick. We need a JWH or NAS someone who will get under the skin of the opposition but also intimidate. We have nice guys, with Dylan Walker only one to question things.

        • I suppose an Arrogant One is out of the question.....
