Parramatta<\/a> coach Jason Ryles<\/a> has described it as a \u201cwaste of time\u201d approaching the NRL after a cautious take down of the Bunker following his side\u2019s 34-16 loss to the Dolphins<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Ryles took umbrage with a try awarded to Jamayne Isaako late in the first half that put the Dolphins up 16-10. <\/p>\n

Jamayne Isaako\u2019s put-down.\u00a0Nine<\/p>\n

Isaako had taken a pass from Jack Bostock near the tryline and went over with Sean Russell tackling him. <\/p>\n

The ball looked loose in the tackle and went up as no try from referee Gerard Sutton. <\/p>\n

\u201cA little bit of a bobble there,\u201d Phil Gould<\/a> said on Nine\u2019s commentary <\/p>\n

Bunker official Ashley Klein said Isaako had a clear grip of the ball and overturned the decision. <\/p>\n

Post-match, Ryles was clearly furious. <\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t go near the referees for anything like that because I know they have a tough job. One thing I will say is that Bunker has more technology than they had getting to the moon, and they still stuff it up,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s what I don\u2019t understand. That\u2019s all I\u2019ve got to say about the Bunker, I don\u2019t have anything good to say, so I\u2019m just going to leave it at that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ryles was probed immediately after and said he wouldn\u2019t discuss the Bunker before adding \u201cjust get it right\u201d.<\/p>\n

In the end, Ryles couldn\u2019t help himself and admitted he thought Isaako dropped the ball but it didn\u2019t have an influence on the game.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut that\u2019s going to decide a grand final,\u201d he warned. <\/p>\n

Asked if his side wasn\u2019t copping the rub of the green because they\u2019re not in the top eight, Ryles laughed. <\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019re trying to bait me, aren\u2019t you? It\u2019s going nothing to do with that,\u201d he said as Mitchell Moses agreed next to him. <\/p>\n

Finally, it was put to Ryles whether he\u2019d seek feedback from the NRL.<\/p>\n

\u201cNot worth it, waste of time,\u201d he replied.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Parramatta coach Jason Ryles has described it as a \u201cwaste of time\u201d approaching the NRL after a cautious…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":863692,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[568],"tags":[64,63,761,762,158,85],"class_list":["post-863691","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\/863691","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=863691"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/863691\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/863692"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=863691"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=863691"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=863691"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
