Yes the Ref's hammered us but year after year this team crumbles as soon as things go against us.
I don't blame the coach though I will lead the chorus of people asking for change. We have a problem be it culturally or something else but we are not a team that will win back momentum

First question we have to ask we why we consistently get rubbish calls from the ref. It can not be coincidental.
Probably because BA hadn't been critical of call like tonight. He is so stingy in paying the fines maybe.
Agree! Because Brad won't speak up
If there is a sin bin we go shit, doesn't matter what team is binned, we are so low in footy IQ.
Tonight's game was an absolute disgrace. It's more than clearly obvious that the NRL is rigged and has been for years. The refereeing was diabolical which didn't include the 11-3 penalty count. The NRL draw in particularly for the Eels is a disgrace. First 5 games against top 8 teams, 3 games against top teams directly after their bye! Then 4 games which 1 is in Darwin against the Broncos , then back to Sydney, then up to Brisbane in the last game of the round on a cow paddock and then down to Canberra after a short turnaround! Absolutely a disgrace. Yet the Broncos have almost all their first 10 games in Brisbane (7 to be exact). It's absolutely disgraceful and utterly rigged. Next their is the ridiculous Eels recruitment, corrupt coaching contract that keeps getting extended on the basis of what??? 1 wooden spoon 🥄, no premierships, 1 grand final appearance in 10 years! Seriously! The penalties in tonight's game were atrocious. Punching an Eels player warranted a send off not 10 mins and the Raiders get a penalty!! Both the Paulo and Simmonsen on report were a joke. 🤣 The Eels season is well and truly over. South's next week. Another 3 years of chasing the collision
Once again, we did the wrong thing at key moments, whether that be giving away a penalty, trying an offload when it wasn't on or losing the ball in a good position. It's so frustrating to watch at the moment. I think Arthur has to stop picking the likes of Simonsson, once again two of his errors lead to tries. There was also the winning try where you see him casually jog over, if he would of sprinted over and anticipated the ball, when Rapana goes to knock it back, it lands to Simonsson and not Timoko. Either Simonsson believed Sivo would catch it or he's not switched on.
Mate half the team is rubbish, the coaching is rubbish, the recruitment is rubbish and the NRL is rigged
