that was a shit game

 

[pantherz9103]

Ricky Stuart's teams are such rabbles, any other team beats the Eels tonight...

 

[Dufmack]

Terrible game, parramatta's errors were shocking. Canberra deserved to win.

 

[hineyrulz]

The obstruction rule is a f**king joke. A different interpretation every week. Last week there was a clear obstruction and a try was given. Tonight no obstruction but no try is given. NRL refereeing is a f**king joke.

I thought that was a fair try, and the one against your mob last week was no try. It's pot luck every time it goes upstairs.

The video ref system went to shit when they started putting players in the box.

 

[Lemon Squash]

Coming from an Eels fan, Raiders out enthused and competed better than us for just about the entire 80 minutes but in the end just lacked that bit of polish to turn it into points.

Butt-Ugly win but we will take the two and get the hell back to Sydney and get ready for the Doggies

 

[bileduct]

Anyway, well done Parra. I'm glad the dodgy video ref decision didn't decide the game.

 

[Jason Maher]

Raiders 1 from their last 9. Next week is set up perfectly. Especially if we beat Penrith tomorrow.

 

[Green River Eel]

LOL @ Bileduct and Walt bwahahahahahaha

 

[Green River Eel]

milford you moron.

lol

If you make the finals you'll be the first team knocked out if you play like that again, GRE.

Had to feel sorry for the Raiders in this game. They played OK to get in front but saw none of the ball in the final 15 minutes. You just knew that when Hayne decided it was time, that would be it. And so it proved.

The Raiders were their own worst enemy, of course, spilling the ball on their own line several times before they were finished off.

On tonight's form, if Parra manage to scrape into the lower reaches of the 8, they will be fodder.

 

[TheFrog]

Tough win, the Eels had to beat the reffs as well as the raiders. Why does every parramatta try have to go to the video reff?

Every single decision was correct.

 

[Y2Eel]

The raiders need to find a Decent fullback for next year and they will then have a decent back-line..

 

[T.S Quint]

If you make the finals you'll be the first team knocked out if you play like that again, GRE.

After the way we've played for the last 4 years, simply making the Finals is massive for us.
We could get flogged the first week and I won't care much.

This.

If we make the Finals after three years of tripe, we will be dancing in Church Street until March 2015.

 

[Eelementary]

Eels seriously lucky with their draw this year, moreso than us...

:lol:

What a load of horse shit!

In the first ten weeks of the comp, we - the reigning, consecutive Wooden Spooners - played the Roosters twice, Manly at Brookvale, Brisbane at Suncorp and the Panthers.

But yeah - what an easy draw.

 

[Eelementary]

Better team lost tonight imo, Eels have the refs to thank

:lol:

 

[skeepe]

So what the f**king f**k is the obstruction rule? Anyone?

Seems to be always rule against the Raiders, if they aren't involved then flip a coin.

Compare tonight's abominable decision with the Warriors try last week... I just don't know the rule anymore.

Anyway, stoked with the effort, just a shame the NRL needs a fairytale team or we rightfully would have won.

 

[bileduct]

Tonight is how the rule should be refereed, in my opinion.

The problem with the obstruction rule began when Jamie Lyon started taking dives and then ex-players were put into the video referee box and were suddenly making decisions on whether or not players were being sucked in my decoy runners.

Just like the two referee system, the more referees you throw at the game the worse the refereeing will become.
