Foxtel tackle count

[unforgiven]

It tells you the previous position

no it doesn't as the next tackle hasn't been completed

 

[unforgiven]

At the GP this week, when a car has completed the first lap the lap count is 1 and the car is on the 2nd lap. It would be stupid to display 1st for the whole 2nd lap.

Now they might display it as 1/72 or 1 of 72. But showing 1st for the whole subsequent lap would be wrong.

As I stated to you previously, this has come about due to the language the refs use in rugby league. there are many places they terminology doesn't match what is happening,e.g a try is no longer technically a try, but it is the convention used in rugby league.

Is it a bit like being a union troll but calling yourself parra so you look like a league fan?

Unconvincing though. A try still gives you a shot at goal. Only difference is now you get points for the try itself.

Anyway, it's just after 2pm here. Or as foxtel would say, still 2pm until it's 3.

But the previous one is over, in the books and the play is underway.

I'm so glad the big issues of the NRL are being discussed... It's about time

Well they definitely wouldn't say that it is 3pm at 2.16pm, what are you talking about?

They are counting tackles not plays? The 1st tackle has been completed. Ordinal numbers are not reliant on tense.

Who knows? Lucky they don't make clocks.

See I made the mistake of conversing with you as if you were an intelligent person, I won't be doing that again.

A joke about foxtel and clocks tipped you?

He's got plenty of time on his hands given the state of rah rah in Australia.

why not think of it as marking how many tackles the defending team needs to make

would that be less confusing for you?

Why not think of it the same way people talk, including the commentators.

Here are some examples from every match

"They've turned over on the third"

"Interesting play, kicking on the fifth"

" Risky play on the 3rd, flirting with the sideline"

In each case the statement is correct, yet would be at odds with the foxtel graphic.
