As far as I'm concerned the referee should be the sole arbiter of the game. The Video Ref is there to assist. What really bugs me is when they look for stuff that they haven't been asked to look at. Last night for Giants 2nd try, the Ref asked for on side off side at the kick and grounding. That is it as far as i'm concerned. The Ref is obviously happy with everything else. The VR then goes on to check whether there was a knock on, going over and over again, wasting so much time. It happens all the time, the VR looking for stuff that the Ref hasn't asked for. It's tedious. "Can you give me another angle......." etc,etc.....The NRL are so much quicker in reaching a decision.....

Current French team
burnleywelsh replied to Bedfordshire Bronco's topic in The General Rugby League Forum
Was on the plane with him travelling back from Carcassonne when he was on his way to his loan move to Whitehaven. He was hunched up at the front waiting for everyone to get on before he took his seat at the front. Even then, his knees were up around his ears. -
Welsh Rugby League Players

Not 100% sure. He was involved with RGC, the North Wales RU development region as a youngster, so not sure about him being brought up in Preston. -

If picking an England team Now

Harsh…….he’s played 4 games, game 4 he didn’t complete. 61 tackles made, 92.4% tackle rate. 153 metres average run per game. 64m average post contact. Bit soon to say he’s struggling. What is he struggling with? -

To miss one boat is unfortunate, two miss more than one looks like carelessness………..to paraphrase Oscar Wilde……..

I think it was a question, not a statement. -
Restructure of Championship and League 1

I would hope that the goal would be A grade and getting to B is just a stepping stone. -
Which club would you invest in?
burnleywelsh replied to Eddie's topic in The General Rugby League Forum
proper investment is the key phrase here.... -
I’ve noticed that. I wonder how the ‘sock sponsors’ feel about that? Having paid out the cash to have their brand on the kit, only to have players roll their socks down. Do they raise that issue with the clubs?

In my opinion, I wouldn't want him anywhere near young players/schoolchildren. He's a disgrace.

Challenge Cup: Third Round Draw
burnleywelsh replied to Futtocks's topic in The General Rugby League Forum
Is it broadcast live anywhere ? Last draw was. Edited: Just found out. 6.30pm on BBC iPlayer. -
RFL Council gave South Wales the green light, but when it went to the clubs, self interest kicked in again and the clubs voted against. From memory, they folded as the goal was SL or nothing. Players weren’t going to sign for a club playing in the lower leagues.

South Wales…….the mid ‘90s version. This report was actually in a Chorley v South Wales match programme, linking it to the OP.

Went the game as well…….bloody cold wasn’t it. Good game. Haresfinch getting into good positions, but couldn’t finish. Great defence by OSJ though. Orrell deserving the victory. A great turnout to witness it.

I'll be following their season. Probably out of curiosity. Love an underdog. -
