If only they had the weather down under.

I regularly attend cup finals but never bother with the last match as I want to get back to the hotel to get changed before I go out for the evening. If I could be bothered I would find it on youtube later on. I think the women's game is here to stay,that's how things are nowadays. I sort of half watch it in between having a pint or a bite to eat.

Another try for Herbie, although it was handed to him on a plate in order to keep his record going. Scored in 8 consecutive matches now.

Women's football has gone ballistic largely because it appeals to err..............women. In days gone by,men would go to the football or rugby and the wife would go shopping. Now,the Mrs is engaged by the football,the kids are attracted by the hype ,so they and hubby are dragged along for a family day out. When they get there,I imagine there is more of a family atmosphere than at a men's game, so they are hooked. They can go home and tell their mates that they have seen Arsenal or Chelsea play. Remember,this is how they are described in the media,barely any mention of the word "women".

Bunker far superior to video ref
JF1 replied to Cheadle Leyther's topic in The General Rugby League Forum
If we're stuck with the vr preocess, at least streamline it a bit. Have the "swingometer on the screen from when the ref sends the decision upstairs. Then when he has made the decision,hit the button and display it immediately. That way, the smart meter sponsor will probably get more time on the scoreboard. -
Agreed,and he doesn't fill every second with pointless chatter. He pauses and lets the pictures do the talking,a welcome addition. Just one other gripe. As usual ,Sky insist on having a replay of every little incident to the extent of missing incidents in live play,which then results in another replay. It really does make for a fragmented viewing experience.

Great long range try for Herbie today. Look it up on YouTube if you missed it.

Add a nought to that amount and you will be there or thereabouts. A decent sum back in 1973. The ground was pretty dilapidated towards the end but it was always a lovely playing surface.

So this is where we 've arrived at. Moving to a different town to pick up IMG points is considered more important than winning games on the pitch to ensure Super League status. As an aside,the pitch at the Shay has always been 'heavy' to say the least. Could it cope with more traffic?

The worst aspect for me is that the best replay of an incident is often played after the try/no try decision has been made. Blurry,slow motion replay after replays are shown,often being cut short before the move is completed.Then the VR often performs linguistic contortions in order to agree with the referee. In a nutshell,Sky is light years behind the Aussie broadcasters.
