Interesting. Public Beatings on the Horizon

I'm sure they're use to getting abuse so probably won't bother them. It'll be interesting to see how well they respond to proper questions asked which will probably be hard to find between the comments from people just calling them useless cheating t**ts.

It can only possibly end badly.

maybe brian mac will register a false username in order to question the catalans unexplained home penalty count bias ?

They'll be well aware of the abuse they'll get. They just won't answer the stupid though and keep it to the constructive tweets

I hope this works and is constructive but you can see the weight of abuse evetually causing them to shut it down unfortunately.
Any kind of public dialogue is welcome imo this "closed book" approach only adds to the frustrations of many fans but surely there should be more regular meetings with the Coaches and players then say the gist of those meetings publicised on the RFL website/LE and LW.

As was said earlier this can only end badly, some vulgar tweets from tonight alone.

Bet James Childs will get some interesting questions

I like the idea but don't like the forum they've chosen.

Not Excel spreadsheet enough for you? Maybe SharePoint?

Why set up a Twitter account to answer 4 people!!

I doubt the refs will even see it. It'll be done an admin

They have already said that any abuse will be an instant block and report to Twitter.

If this does end up getting shut down because supposed fans of the game abuse it, then they lose the right to complain about match officials not being accountable.

Just don't like the basic idea of using a forum with a small character limit to communicate what could be quite involved questions and explanations on decisions.
