Just worked up the courage to watch this game on replay after being there live. I have never in my life seen such a disgraceful refereeing performance. The eels were playing up every touch milking everything and the ref just lapped it up. Penalties and 6 agains at the end of sets that lead directly to tries, the hip drop was just an insane penalty where S Fainu never even lands on the legs, escort penalties that were just garbage and were replicated by the eels for no reply. And the eels are just a horrible team to watch, how anyone could support these grubs is beyond me. Their 9 was offside virtually every 5th tackle play. Insane game.

Yep, that whole club is a bunch of grubs.

Yes and if Mitchell was sent from the field for his unavoidable contact with force, how did Mitchell Moses get to stay on after his attack on LL head, and no penalty try? 🤔

The crackdown has come a week to late and may work against us this week when it didn't help us last week.

highly likely

Sorenson just binned for heavy contact on Brown off kickoff. Used his shoulder but didn’t hit the head.

Sandon smith just binned for clipping Ilias’ nose. The ref went back in the set to call the play up and send him off. WTF! Why wasn’t Tuilagi sent off for a shoulder to the head?????

Josh Curran just binned for the identical shoulder charge that Tuilagi made on May last round. My mind boggles that the ref stopped play, called out Tuilagi, put him on report and then just let him play on. Why wasn’t he sent off? The guy got 3 weeks!

Completely forgot about the "escort". Laughable stuff.

Was a bit disappointed with Turuva yesterday. His brain explosion that saw him sin binned followed by the carry on on the sideline was over the top. He was brought across to improve culture but it looked more like he had been "tigerised" instead. We needed cool heads out there yesterday and he and others totally lost theirs and eventually lost the game as well.

Agreed. He's been incredible so far this season, but yesterday was very much an off day. Bad miss on the first Addo-Carr try, lost his head a couple of times, and then botched the break leading to the Addo-Carr intercept.

Hopefully a one-off rather than the new norm.
