Is that it? I’ve been anxious all day for this?
Is this a big deal? Anyone?

Something something greeturd? I dunno… I’m sure someone will be enraged somewhere.

So in effect…for the eels this year…they get Matterson mid contract and we get to play them twice at their home ground…

I’m disliking the eels more than anyone right now…

Cannot imagine playing our home game at Parramatta again if there is any other option. Surely WT management aren’t that stupid!

where else would we play it? NRL wouldn’t let us have it at LO or CSS

Next to the Easter Show and back at Homebush.

isn’t that getting renovated? that’s why the gf is at the scg…
I would much rather prefer that tbf, but the nrl want everything out of their jewel of the west

The NRL don’t tell clubs where to play.

Just did it , wanted two coaches challenges which can be used at any stage during a game

I said the same when I completed it too!

For tries only?

I made sure to mention for try scoring opportunities only! lol

Would you still have the video ref available to the refs outside iff the challenges? Still 2 refs?

No and No

Trouble is that after 2 challenges there could be more errors from refs. Look at Stokes being plumb in front in the last over if the 4th test.

Then don’t waste them on decisions the ref has correct!

How does a ref, with no help of the video ref, call a corner try where the players foot goes into touch about the same time he puts the ball down? You could lose 2 challenges on a guess from the ref.

Also if you lose those 2 challenges it is because you have guessed in your review as well! It is a 2 way street, if you don’t know then don’t challenge. Generally players have a fair idea if it is a try or not!

So if there’s only 2 challenges and no other video ref then every try in the corner willl be a guess. No thanks.

No it won’t, there is a touch judge right there!

So how can you look at the ball being grounded and the players feet, that are 7ft away, at the same time? Impossible.

How do they make those sort of lineball decisions in general play? How can we decide if a player catches a ball before or after his foot touches the dead ball or sideline? Why is it ok to miss someone stepping on the sideline or knocking on the play before a try but we have to look at it 1000 times if it is during the play a try is scored?

There not even comparable to trying to adjudicate those corner tries. You can’t do it with the naked eye.

Of course they are comparable, and even if a mistake is made there will be an option to challenge the ruling.

I do not blame the umpire for Aust losing the 4th test, I blame Paine for the ridiculous challenges he made earlier in the innings!

Umpire was wrong though. Both made horrendous decisions.

Wow, how did he do it for 97 years before the video ref? make the refs get in to the correct position to make a call. Give them ownership of the game back instead of someone sitting in a box 4000km away!

He probably did it badly! You’re the one who wants 2 challenges for the video ref to look at not me.

@pawsandclaws1 said in Signing Suggestions & Rumours:

I’m surprised that with the Broncs unloading their 5/8 and Mbye having a good season with QLD selection, he hasn’t been linked to a move north. He is from the Sunshine Coast so I must admit I’m surprised.

They probably watched his origin performance. His ‘effort’ on the Tedesco try was plain embarrassing.

@happy_tiger said in NRL calls on fans to voice their opinion:

Also wanted to add @gallagher that nothing moves at 140-150 kmh in NRL which will help with judgement

Usually when a blunder is made 80% of fans / commentators etc see it
