Regardless of how it happened, KR up by 10 at the break feels a fair reflection of how the teams are performing.
I'd be perfectly comfortable with 6 tbh. Kr have dominated territory and possession, but haven't been too fluid in attack really. Wire have shifted the ball better and King and Ashton are getting some space. Before we then kick it dead and let KR go the length!

Possibly but we need sharper and brighter pictures - other sports manage it but our tech hasn’t developed in 20 years.
One thing I would say is that I think what Sky show is is worse than what the VR sees. For example, when we watch the VR pics, it's grainy and blurred, yet when the try is awarded the go back to standard quality and it's often clearer than what we've been watching for 5 minutes!

We need better cameras.
To be fair, the cameras weren't the issue there.

Ignoring the call that's abysmal defence by Warrington to even give him the opportunity, there's 4 defenders round him.
I thought it was excellent defence. They stopped him getting the ball down over the line.

Hull KR the better team in a close first half. Our ends of sets need to be better, but we do look slightly dangerous when we shift it.

I'm not sure how this was given as a try? Surely the ref's angle was obscured? Was it just a guess?
I hate it, but it's just what happens now. The ref hasn't seen it but is forced to give a guess.

Gonna be a try based on refs call.

I do think the ref has an option of being stronger there. Otherwise this game could go all niggle.

Just can't see how that disallowed try was obstruction.
I'd love to agree with you but I think it was pretty clear obstruction.

Good HKR pressure
Partly, I think more a lack of communication as some kicks don't have a chaser. Our link play not too bad.

Really poor Wire with the ball late in the sets. Doing OK earlier in the sets.

Silly from Tai to drop the shoulder and bump the chaser.
Was a great kick, but yeah, poor discipline, two players taking the cynical option.

Anyone else’s Sky+ feed really jittery? As in the camera is shaking. The commentary and clock are fine and in sync so don’t think it’s my feed
All good here

It's amazing how one run can just change all the momentum - even 5 minutes into a game.
KR looked like they were getting ontop and strugglign to make metres, then Ashton makes his break and suddenly KR have no momentum and are the ones struggling.
And then one poor kick (followed by a penalty) can flip it again. Like minite 79 last week!

Well where's the link to show that?
Surely that isn't Rocket science is it, or perhaps there isn't a link?
I'm sure there isn't a link to back up you and Dave T claims otherwise you would have have posted.
I mean that isn't how things work. You demand something and everyone rushes to please you.
A quick Google search will help you. This story has been repeated numerous times this year which talks about exactly this (central funding being paid with no return). This website has articles with that detail.

I think in the case of the 2019 tour it was the absolute shambolic selection policy which threw the tour, we took a ridiculous number of halfbacks and barely any outside backs which mean we had the farce of Blake Austin playing wing. It’s easier to accept a loss if you have the best team out there but Bennet used it purely as a chance to experiment like an extended training camp.
3 hours ago, RugbyLeagueGeek said:That was particularly infuriating given that Regan Grace - a Welshman - arguably deserved to fill that wing spot on merit.
Wayne Bennett went down massively in my estimations with that tour. I think he handled it horribly.
Not that I'm sure he's bothered!

On this subject does anyone know which teams have which end yet?
Current league leaders Wigan Warriors secured their place in the top against Leeds last time out, meaning the winners of their Semi Final in two weeks time will be allocated the West Stand at Old Trafford (the Stretford End).
That would leave the fans of the winners of the other Semi Final, which would feature either or both of Hull KR or Warrington Wolves – both guaranteed to finish in the top three with Wigan – with their ticket allocation in the East Stand.

It may be marginal in effect but I have really loved what seems to have been a step up in the promotion of the play-offs this year. Loving the gold!
Agreed. The branding is rather nice at the moment.

I do think we've struck lucky too with the match ups since Covid. We've always had Catalans at home and Salford, Hull KR and Leigh fans have all really bought into it with great home and away support which has boosted crowds.
Yeah, there is always a risk that we end up with Wire v Cas and Wigan v Hudds and it looks poor again. Hopefully some momentum has been built though and people are starting to enjoy these playoffs again!

I think we can overthink the format side of things and could also accept that, actually, a lot of this is down to the momentum of a mostly fun season that had plenty of talking points, and that the quality of the matches - and the atmosphere people have either been in or seen - is making them games that people don't want to miss out on.
I generally agree, but we've had a couple of years now of good crowds with this format, and I think the move to a top 8 really harmed the playoffs tbh. I think having playoffs that meant the winner got a week off was a poor development.
I think the current one has a nice level of risk and simplicity with no second chances. My personal view is that it doesn't quite reward positions as fairly as it could, but the format does lead to great knockout battles.

The French governing body makes BARLA look like the Champions League
Yeah, it's why I suggested a new governing body to cover this relationship

20k could be on the cards now:
They look to be moving quite rapidly now, particularly in the West Stand.
These games should be crackers and both look great on TV. I wonder whether we've finally stumbled onto the best format crowd-wise after loads of changes.

I did the deal was cash for pitchside branding and flights for logo on Dragons shirt sleeves.
P
Am I right in saying that's the only airline deal we had during this period?

For some reason they absolutely hate the Dragons.
Do they though? It would be pretty easy to get rid of them.

I'm not a massive plan of that last play of us passing out to Tai to run into touch.
