Bullish Giant Rhino

Is the pitch 110% ready now? Absolutely nothing more to do?

True, but this isn’t a case of a ball coming loose and either side appealing for a ball steal or a knock on. This is a blatant forgetting about the rules. Like if a try was scored and the ref tells the player to play the ball over the line 🤣. Are you Stuart Cummings or Steve Ganson? Can’t work it out 🧐🧐

That’s not their job tho, is it?

How do you miss a 40/20? I’m the last person to have a go at the refereees but...that was horrendous!

I honestly don't understand what value Sky think they are getting by analysing decisions as deeply as they do? And if we're gonna have no video ref now...they need to be careful otherwise the odd 'Liam Kay' situation will get blown out of proportion. And as for Stuart Cummings....well his voice changes watching RL from being an enjoyable experience to a numbing chore.

Great stuff. You just know the officials will miss one obstruction and everyone will start saying ‘we need the full video ref back!’. But perspective is needed people, this is good for the game

I think that’s definitely a case where there will be a ‘communication error’ 😛

At the first day of Magic the commentators mentioned that there will be a streamlined version of the video referee at Summer Bash. Does anyone know anything about this?

As a neutral fan I have definitely lost a bit of respect for the team today. Been a follower of the Pack for a while and loved their work off the pitch, but this is making me reassess. Paul Rowley is not a nice human and everything he teaches has come undone today. I hope David Argyle has a word with Rowley and they can change the way they do things. Otherwise I don’t want them in SL.

So how is the answer to my question a no? Sounds very much like a yes to me

Is the plan next season to have 11 away games and then 11 home games? Same as this year but actually hosting all scheduled home games in Toronto? Thanks

How can anyone praise a referee who dishes out nearly 10 cards? It points to incompetence and a total lack of game management. I assume this would never happen in the NRL nor in RU. Serious questions need to be asked because even as a diehard fan I am struggling to take the game seriously at the minute and am starting to tune in less. And it’s not just the refs, it’s the players too! RL in the summer era has never looked so ugly and things need to change ASAP. I’m happy for someone to disagree with me, but I have no idea what their argument would be. I really don’t...

Sounds good, let's hope it's all ready for June

Looks really concrete underneath. Hope the pitch doesn't lead to any injuries. I don't know much about the science behind artificial pitches tho!

So your success is predicated on less games being played? Fwiw I don’t think the season will be shortened for several years, and if TW are to be the catalyst then they need a multi million $ TV deal to show to the clubs
