Sun 16 Oct: RLWC: Scotland v Italy KO 14:30

[Spidey]

What’s with the people in charge of the replays. Hicks was very clear what he wanted, stayed much calmer than I would

[Dunbar]

Next time, if the video ref sends me a fax to describe what he wants from the match director then I'll pop it over by carrier pigeon.  Will get it sorted in no time.

[Gerrumonside ref]

Big chance for Italy then

Don’t mention pigeons , my gardens been invaded by them and it’s doing my head in …. Just in passing 

[Dave W]

I wish the commentary team would please just SHUT UP when the video referee is talking through his deliberations. 

[Jim Prendle]

Only 3 games in and I’m already bored to tears of reading comments about empty seats.

 

[bratman]

It was pretty blatent he lost it from the first replay

[Farmduck]

Italy sponsored by Wests Magpies (among others)

What on earth is that inane rambling going on before kick off.

It’s about inclusivity and how rugby league respects all. My interpretation of inane is a little different to yours, I think.

my mother who is in her late 70s wont watch a game with a female commentator - says "it just doesn't sound right"

It’s like they don’t have the feed

[ATLANTISMAN]

It was quite obvious it was a try on the first shot, the video ref needs shooting for wasting time here ridiculous he should take lessons from the aussie one yesterday.

 

Paul

[JimBronco]

Video ref is hard of hearing

[JimBronco]

[JimBronco]

I don’t often agree with you, but I do agree with your mother.

Obviously you corrected her as there’s nothing wrong with it

It was about rugby league being, or trying to be, a sport inclusive of everyone.

It went on and on before Tedesco was allowed to kick off yesterday. 

Bloody irritating it was. Just make a quick point that the sport stands for inclusivity, have the crowd clap together for 13 seconds because apparently this will demonstrate how much we all love each other and get on with the bloody game!

[The Phantom Horseman]

Amazed at the people on this thread criticising the video ref ( Robert Hicks), he is showing amazing patience faced with video editors who don't understand what to show him.

[Harry Stottle]

Great finish, looked like the one from Ben Barba years ago

It’s her opinion and whether you like it or not, she is entitled to it.
