They are showing a certain number with more to be shown later in the season. Just like the Channel 4 deal where there were gaps between matches.

Clubs will just send a squad of reserves/ academy players resulting in dreadful attendances and the idea being binned.

The RFL, who represent the clubs, presented the agreement to the clubs who discussed it and agreed it. The RFL, on behalf of the clubs and with their agreement, then signed the said agreement with IMG. On that basis I’m struggling to see who a club can sue even if they are adversely affected by the outcome as they agreed to it and, via the RFL, signed up to it. Being stupid or daft enough not to see any potential negative outcome for yourself doesn’t seem a solid basis for taking the RFL to court.

Is that like the rear of the year award

The biggest influence seems to be the 75% reduction in head contact which is a massive drop. Even a variance would still leave a big reduction Yes the mouthguards will have assisted in any decision being more informed but the clampdown has paid dividends

So players get sent off after VR intervention but are found “Not Guilty” on the Tuesday at the Disciplinary hearing cue a meltdown along the lines of an IMG thread

Or the incident wasn’t seen on field so play on and sort it out on Monday

And what happens if there has been a try scored? Do you disallow that, send the player off from the incident 5 mins ago and award a penalty?

Your missus wants to go back to the day before she met you…

So 20 tackles later or even longer?

It’s been that for many years. How far would you be happy to go back?

The main reason for the no change next season being the success of the changes introduced this season. So this year’s “pain” has been worthwhile and (un)surprisingly players have adapted

That is definitely the most likely reason as the VR camera work has been poor all season. You can hear the VR asking for camera x but getting camera y or with the action going forwards when asked to go backwards.

And probably to take over from Wellens particularly if they don’t win the GF this season & start next season poorly
