We have played terrible this year and have massive issues we need to fix but in yet another game we hardly received a penalty.  From the 4th minute till about 70th minute we didn't receive 1.

Penalties wouldn't have changed our season however it points to poor performances from refs and our inability to influence or talk to refs.  Why aren't our players in refs ear reminding them the penalty count.  Always see other teams do it and get a penalty pretty shortly afterwards

  • We have no leaders, we are coached by a clown who holds nobody accountable for discipline, we deserve everything we get.

    Its not rocket science.

  • Because we have a gutless coach who doesn’t stand up for his team.
    • Thats probably true too, BAs a meek little mouse in the pressers, no balls.

      • Didn't know they were tied up, or in gaol.

  • Because we don’t apply any pressure.
  • As the others have said. We don’t apply pressure. We don’t earn respect from other teams. We have a reputation as being losers. As such, decisions go against us.
  • All points above are fair but even if we are lacking leadership and respect etc that shouldn't affect the penalty count. 

    It proves that refs are useless and too easily influenced which is huge concern for the game.

    • Midge, totally agree with you as that pair tonight were as bad as any I have seen this year.  If we got a fair shake in the penalties, then we could have won, also the line ball calls.

  • Dumb team coached by a man who is a fraud, he has never been a head coach and never will be.

    The sooner Arthur gets sacked the better it will be for the Eels.
