Poor ref decisions have cost us more games than i can count after the last 2 years.
I think we need answers from not just Harrigan but Gallop as well, seems there is some vendetta against our club at present. Very Silly i think the NRL would want their 3 western teams on the winning list and in the finals with GWS starting in the AFL next year. These decisions on the field can turn people off the NRL and maybe start following GWS.
The NRL has to do something anf the first thing is ban betting on matches, while ever there is betting on matches and bookies sponsoring stadiums and teams there will be question marks on ref decisions.
With the favoring that Melbourne enjoyed from 06 till now, it astounds me that after the whirlwind back half of 09 and the 75,000 people that turned up to the major semi, that the Eels aren't the ones getting the preferential treatment!
The Eels run blew the roof off the game and yet the refs gave Melbourne everything in the GF, they reffed the grapple and slowing the play the ball down etc in 09 only to let Melbourne play that style in the most important game of the year???
I have never seen before the interest in the game than the back of 09, you would think that would be enough for the game to want us to be successful, yet we see time after time the absolutely ridiculous calls against us!
These refs are the problem with the game and I understand why people are walking away, why bother watching when your team can't win because of the most disgusting refereeing we have ever seen!
We cost us the game on Saturday but the refs were a major part of the result, they are inept and I can't believe they get paid well to be that shit!!!!
