I think 6 of them are.

Nrl = touch

 

[blaza88z]

nice to see the standard of refereeing hasn't changed

 

[Big Pete]

Feels like I'm watching a crappy YouTube clip of RLL2 - Helicopter vision off to a poor start.

 

[Parra Pride]

God that souffs team looks weak, who starts their captain off the bench :lol:

Craig Bellamy does.... In a State of Origin game....

Yeah that camera is woeful.

 

[blaza88z]

they went upstairs, there's a new feature

 

[macnaz]

zzzzzzzzzzzzzz .

 

[Parra Pride]

Fair try, can't possibly be a penalty.

 

[Big Pete]

Good hands from the Rabbitohs, they're looking by far sharper.

Video referee getting an early work out.

 

[Big Pete]

It's a try to Goodwin.

Wonder if that's the precedent? There was clearly contact but you'd be 99% confident that it had no bearing on the try.

 

[macnaz]

Are Saints at full strength ?

 

[chrisD]

Pretty decent football from both teams.

 

[Danish]

the Foxcopter cam is a bloody joke. If they actually had a HD broadcast quality camera mounted on the thing then it would be a great addition once the pilot gets some experience figuring out where to be to get the best shots etc, but with what is basically a mobile phone camera quality the whole thing is pointless.

Why don't they simply introduce the sky cam that they have used in the cricket and gets a great workout in the NFL? The cables allow a heavier and better quality camera and also a steadier operation. The cables can get in the way I guess but you'd have to think that would be pretty unlikely

 

[blaza88z]

dragon's are going to need piggybacks if they want to get involved in this game

 

[macnaz]

They look f**king hopeless...

 

[Danish]

It's a try to Goodwin.

Considering the rule clarity was supposed to be ANY contact initiated by the decoy (regardless of if it had a bearing on the try or not) was supposed to be a penalty then good to see the refs already applying their own brand of the rules compared to whats written in the book.

 

[Big Pete]

Two great plays there from Creagh and Soward.

40/20 and Dragons on attack.

Danish - That was my concern too. It seemed like a clear cut try so it'll be interesting to see how video refs. will rule if there is more of a grey area. However, glad that the line in the sand has been drawn and they won't be so anal retentive.

 

[SuperiorEasts]

both teams look terrible :lol: cannon fodder for 2013
