Some seem to work from classic stopwatches, others use an app on a tablet - and there was one last season with a very retro looking analogue clock. I think a good solution would be for the timekeepers to use a laptop and an RFL-built website similar to this: https://www.online-stopwatch.com/full-screen-stopwatch/ It'd be very easy to give "guests" (fans) access to see the time for any given match, from a phone or computer, so that the process is totally transparent and anybody who wants to see how long's left can do so (including the poor buggers trying to run the scoreboard!). Would just take the pressure off everybody and it wouldn't cost a lot to do. Do you see where you are wrong Tom? Hint: "totally transparent", "RFL". Sport, amongst other things, is a dream-world offering escape from harsh reality and the disturbing prospect of change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would have certainly taken the pressure off my ticker when your ticker jumped back five minutes then for a second time stayed on forty minutes for what seemed a year and a half. Must get it across to our players to be forty in front at that stage in future (fev fan) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wakefield Ram Posted August 9, 2019 Author Share Posted August 9, 2019 You're right it was just four Rhinos players who scored four of Fevs five tries and set up the other one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
graham fisher Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 C’mon lads let’s not go down the DR road again don’t forget we used to use it,we got shafted by Wakefield and the players that they sent us apart from Annakin. i hate it and I bet majority of Fev fans do as well.

Wakefield Ram Posted August 9, 2019 Author Share Posted August 9, 2019 It just makes a joke of the game when DR players have such a big influence on the outcome of the match. At least when we tried DR with Wakefield, we played even worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed - If we had had four or five quality regulars from the Rhinos available every match, we would be saying "well course I don't agree with it, but thems the rules". Annakin apart though, our own loanees/DR's were no better than the signed on lads that missed out to accommodate them IMO.
