Sat 10th May: CCSF: Hull KR v Catalans Dragons KO 14:30 (BBC)

The last few sets with no stoppages has been a breath of fresh air hasn’t it. Not the best quality but the flow has been entertaining

No remember this was an uninspiring choice of stadium. Modern ground full of fans isn't what people want to see.

A nice enough small venue, but not befitting a SF. The low stands limit the camera-work.

[bratman]

Fages with a barge!

[OldRedEyes]

Shoulder to shoulder? 

Things have changed since I played, but nothing wrong with that 

[Trojan Horse]

Seems all the Catalans fullback has to do is catch the ball and the commentators get excited.

Tough quick game in warm conditions, all to play for!

[Archie Gordon]

It's an entertaining game but the presentation is not that of a premier sport. 

[Coggo]

Fatty Bum-Bums. Excellent.

Whitehead is just a bit of a tool isn't he? He'll be lucky not to be binned for the way he's speaking to the ref.

To be fair Lewis hit him in the face, the VR was a witness to it at what point in the game is that allowed or just dismissed?

[StandOffHalf]

Just looked shoulder to shoulder to me as Fages and Burgess went over the sideline.

Cats back in it at least after the contentious decision.

[wilsontown]

So we've managed to get 40 minutes played in less than an hour, well done everyone.

Enjoyable game though.

Budgie "A few fatty bum-bums in the middle, blowing out their ######". Quality analysis.

This is an enjoyable game, camera work is awful tho and the Aussie commentator is very poor.

Well, one out of three is pretty positive for this forum.

Yeah, I seemed to recall it from a Wire game, thought it was the Saints one tbh. 

And I thought it was right to be chalked off. Inside shoulder is still the tackler. It should be used as an indicator not a black and white rule.

It was a complete misinterpretation of when the inside/outside shoulder issue comes into play.

[OldRedEyes]

Catalan had a brilliant 15 purple patch in the half. Can they maintain that and challenge us in the 2nd half?

Luckley’s HIA decision is absolutely massive

Dan Marino pass - he took it in front of the passer

Just seen the replays. Well forward whichever angle you see it from.

[Trojan Horse]

Does anyone else think the issue with the time for VR is mostly down to picture quality as it’s blurry and angles available. 
 

But quite simply yet another ref call on try overturned. It needs to remain as officials are making incorrect calls but needs to be improved.

Poor image quality is definitely a factor. 

[OldRedEyes]

Lewis didn’t regain his feet before trying to play it. 

incorrect call. 

can I be referred as ‘2 eyes’ now please.

And it always seems the operators of the replay don’t listen to what the VR is asking for. 

[StandOffHalf]

That was strange and silly from Fages. Trying to burrow across Lewis' path as he regained his feet to impede him. Just throwing away two points.

Probably aware that the writing is on the wall that he, like me, won't be going to Wembley this year 

[Barry Badrinath]

That Partington tackle might have just saved the game for the dragons

[Archie Gordon]

It feels like a massive shame not be able to see some of these young French players playing for France.

[Barry Badrinath]

KR do play the Wigan suffocating style next best after them.
