    Captain's challenge system

    During the last television rights negotiations, it came to light that AFL was worth more to the broadcasters due to the fact that thier game provides more room for advertising. Some kind of challenge system would help the game in that regard. It could also replace the frivolous use of the video...

    Captain's challenge system

    You are fair dinkum deluded if thats what you think. It was a complete debarcle. When the blokes on the field didn’t know what happened, they were obligated to have a guess. Then the bloke in the box had to find sufficient evidence to over-rule that guess. The big problem for me was the...

    Captain's challenge system

    Player skill has improved remarkably. Refereeing hasn?t. Technology is providing the ability to scrutinize, which could work in favor of helping the referees get it right and improve the game. 15 years ago the sports betting industry was in its infancy and hardly anyone punted on rugby...

    Captain's challenge system

    Yeah right and the clubs should stop accepting sponsorship money from the betting agencies who are advertising to attract the punters. Us punters can all go and help other sports benefit from a rapidly growing sports betting industry, while rugby league sticks its head in the sand wishing their...

    Captain's challenge system

    One could argue that crap refereeing is what is killing the game and driving the ratings down. As a punter I have had enough of losing my money thanks to atrocious refereeing decisions. I for one will not be following NRL again until something is done to provide fairness and integrity in the...

    Video Ref Idea

    I believe a majority rules video ref system used in conjuction with a decent challenge system has great merit and worth serious consideration. The big problem with the current system for me is that a subjective decision being made by one individual is open to bias. When biased decisions...

    Is this entertainment?

    Well I slept on it and would like to add this?. I have no gripe with the performance of the on field referees last night. Actually I think they performed very well. In general it was an entertaining game with particular highlights for me being the courageous goal line defence from Souths early...

    Is this entertainment?

    Like i said. I am not a Bunnies fan. I am just fed up with the fact this sort of crap happens in just about every single game. There is nothing better than a thrilling game of rugby league but it seems you have to watch twenty games of crap before you finally get to watch a thilling one. On that...

    Is this entertainment?

    You epitomize what is wrong with this game. I bet you have asperations to become an NRL referee.

    Is this entertainment?

    If the try was awarded (as it should have been). That would have left 3-4 minutes of riviting throw the ball around football fron Souths in attempt to force the game into extra time. With that unbeleivable "NO TRY" decision, the fans were robbed. You have got to ask the question why was that not...

    Is this entertainment?

    I was not a Bunnies fan but I was a League fan. Now i am actually a fan of running the game down because that is exactly what it deserves.

    Is this entertainment?

    I seem to get more anger out of this game than entertainment. How anybody could justify the Jorge Taufua try being awarded last week and then the George Burgess try not being awarded this week absolutely begs belief. I have been following this game passionately for many years and this is the...

    Knock-ons.

    What is going on with the "Knock On" rule? At 7.30 mins Cowboys V Manly, Matt Bowen clearly knocks the ball directly backwards towards his own line, yet is pinged for a knock on. Bill Harrigan reckons the on field officials only made two errors in that game and that wasn't one of them. If they...

    Bookies refuse to pay out on Greg Inglis penalty try

    TAB also has a rule that they pay on the official result, which is a Greg Inglis Penalty Try. IAS paid out in full in the "Most Tries" market Inglis V Duggan.

    Refereeing in this game is farcical!

    9 deserve nothing

    I thought "The Spring Racing Carnival" would have won "Best Sports Event" coverage as it was shown live throughout Australia. The speech was a bit rich. To claim their Wally Lewis as "The King of Rugby League" and Andrew Johns his "Prince". What?

    '12 | Heritage R5 | Fri | Broncos 28-20 Dragons | Suncorp

    Was that not a driver? The Broncos player pushed the Dragons player to help get the ball to ground.

    Do Channel 9 "Do Rugby League Best"?

    I lived in Adelaide for three years and was discusted at the way Nine treated League there. I have literally seen "The Footy Show" rubbish Adelaide as a potential audience. Channel Seven promoted the Rugby World cup match between Australia and Namibia, which sold out Adelaide Oval. Their...
