Mentally weak and rigging

[ILiveForDib]

The penalty try showed were mentally weak. Errors do happen there inevitable but that’s when you need to mentally get yourself back into the game and all I saw was our line speed immediately decrease, our outstanding first half effort gone and us giving up. However the biggest issue of them is the abysmal referring, it’s clear rigging and it barret doesn’t mention it in the press conference this will continue week in week out.
The set restarts on top of Nathan brown incident just let parra stroll over, set restarts on the 5th,4th no player I don’t care what team it is can withhold such pressure. The refs are corrupt and have ruined the game. At 12-10 it’s a mental game, at 18-10 the refs made sure to put us to bed. There needs to be an investigation but of course there won’t because as long as that cheque comes in no one looks twice.

Remember that scene in Good fellas when he stabs the guy repeatedly while he is in the boot because he was not dead? That is the image I had in my head when this ref was giving 6 agains on the 4th and 5th tackle over and over again and sending our player off mins for a late shot for a player that ran into him while ignoring the head high - putting him on report 2 rucks layer with no penalty to us.

This ref was calling held early and as we put the players on the turf, getting clear was being rushed beyond a realistic time frame.

Was a massive mind fuck.!!

 

[UndeadShadowMan]

Hard when your getting 6 tackle sets when they are getting 10-12 tackles per set

We've had a losing culture for 4 years. Players don't know how to win let alone ice a game. All they know is how to lose so once a decision goes against them, it's heads down and look forward to next week.

It was honestly fucked. Eels forwards asking for six agains before playing the ball and actually getting them

I've got no issue with that tactic by the Eels forwards, I've been calling our players to communicate with the ref's all year, it's like they don't care, no one speaks up and as a result we don’t get six agains.

That's on us.

I could handle losing if it didn't feel like it was orchestrated by the NRL who seem to be the pet of a gambling company. But it seems like every rule change in the last 10 or so years has created grey areas that gave referees options to put whatever spin they wanted on a decision. Once upon a time refs might have made errors and missed things. But at least it was clear cut. Nowadays it's to the point where every decision made has enough grey area that it needs discussion. I'm so fucking sick of the game right now it's not funny. The supporters of the game need to make it abundantly clear that we're over the bullshit. From teams that are seemingly able to fit rep sides under the salary cap right down to match day decisions being so inconsistent and one sided that it's hard not to think the game is rigged. It's our fucking game, we need to oust these turds in charge of it who seem to forget that.

I’m not saying being vocal is a bad thing, just saying that if gutherson and Jacko both ask for a set restart for similar incidents, only the eels players is gonna receive one. That, coupled with their constant whinging fucking burns me

As If the betting agencies were going to let us win.

As if the nrlol isn't going to manipulate games to make the finals "relevant".

Eels can’t be seen losing to likes of the bulldogs at their “fortress” bankwest

The six agains and high tackle crackdowns have ruined the game and have made the competition far less competitive.

Teams shouldn't have ten tackle sets. It's not rugby. They want to speed the game up with this shit yet they allow captains challenges, review everything they can in the bunker and allow trainers to call time off and conduct a full physical for every little injury. Makes heaps of sense if you're trying to speed the game up..

High tackles fair enough its the six agains killing the game

Reckless high tackles that do serious damage are fair enough. Minor ones or instances where players are falling and it's minimal contact shouldn't be a sin binning. All common sense and discretion has disappeared from the game.

Cecchin is a cheat.

The one on jackson had force behind it thought 10 in the bin was light if it was our guy doing it send off forsure

If someone like Hetherington made that same tackle I reckon they would have sent him off.

I'm still confused as to how Nathan Brown could get put on report without us getting a penalty or him going to the bin?

Barrett was pretty animated in his presser about the referee. He claimed that we have to do it tough against big sides, but refs don't help when they award 8-2 repeat sets, especially on the 5th tackle, award penalties 4-1, and go back to penalise a high shot on Parramatta -but not when our winger was taken off for an HIA. He was pretty dirty on the ref, and almost lost his cool.

These results may surprise you

RESIDENTS in the Sydney electorate with the most No voters have revealed why they were opposed to same-sex marriage.

www.news.com.au

The Sydney electorate of Blaxland — that includes the suburbs of Bankstown, Auburn and Merrylands — had 73.9 per cent vote No.

Bulldogs fans will probably recall the moment. Winger Sam Perrett had scored in the corner, and while Cecchin considered it a try he deferred to the Bunker and asked if the ball had been passed forward or touched in flight.

The video referee can't rule on forward passes, but this time it did. The try was disallowed. James Graham howled at the moon in disgust.

"I said to check for a forward pass, which I know I shouldn't have done," Cecchin recalls. "Replays showed it was a clear forward pass. The Bunker was the shiny new toy of the NRL and it had been doing really well until then.

Probably because the review was only undertaken when our trainer had asked for play to stop and Katoa to leave the field. The tackle in question was probably a good set and a half previously. Wouldn't look good for the ref and the others to have missed it then, even after I and probably many others saw it when it initially happened.
Don't even get me started on the Thompson one when the contact was actually initiated by the player who was "fouled" running into Thompson and not vice versa.
