Nearly producing the greatest-ever comeback in NRL history, Ryles questioned multiple calls that went against the club throughout the 80 minutes.<\/p>\n

While he didn\u2019t go in depth about the calls that went against him, he pointed to a moment in the closing stages involving Jordan Samrani where he believed the centre was tackled in the air.<\/p>\n

He also expressed frustration at the club\u2019s struggle to earn six-again calls from the referee.<\/p>\n

\u201cI thought we got hard done by with some of the referees\u2019 calls,\u201d Ryles said post-match.<\/p>\n

\u201cI thought that (Jordan Samrani near the end of the match) was tackled in the air, me and everyone else at the ground, and I\u2019m not sure what they look at there. <\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s where we\u2019re at, at the moment, but it\u2019s really hard for us to get a six-again. <\/p>\n

\u201cIt just all compounds, but it\u2019s not the referee\u2019s fault, but unfortunately we can\u2019t get anything off him at the moment.\u201d<\/p>\n

Souths start fast with 3 in 10 minutes | 00:27<\/p>\n

Ryles also reflected on the Eels\u2019 \u201ccostly\u201d start which saw them concede three tries in the opening ten minutes after Brian Kelly was sent to the sin bin in the first minute of the contest.<\/p>\n

While he was surprised by the referee\u2019s call to give the Rabbitohs an extra-man advantage, he stopped short of blaming the officiating and acknowledged that his side needs to be better in the opening few minutes.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe got jumped at the start,\u201d Ryles continued.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe ten in the bin sort of hurt us and I\u2019m not sure what else he does there and there\u2019s milliseconds in it and then they got three tries there so it\u2019s a costly ten minutes.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut a couple of individuals just need to get better with our start of the game and our first half, and again more lessons. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve got to make sure we nail those first ten minutes in particular individually. <\/p>\n

\u201cThe second half was what we planned to do and how we plan to play and I thought the boys showed an enormous amount of fight, and we were unlucky in the end.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Eels coach Jason Ryles has hit out at the officiating after his side\u2019s narrow loss to the Rabbitohs…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":848144,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[568],"tags":[64,63,761,762,158,85],"class_list":["post-848143","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nrl","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-national-rugby-league","tag-nationalrugbyleague","tag-nrl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/848143","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=848143"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/848143\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/848144"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=848143"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=848143"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=848143"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
