Quote: Nothus "I suspect the ref/RFL made the decision. I've said elsewhere on here that it's actually dangerous for the players to play on surfaces like that which are full of divots etc.'"
I guess, on inspection, the ref said it was safe to play though it would appear the club, not the RFL, made the decision to apply to all games played this season.
Leaving the pitch aside, I'm surprised the floodlights were deemed satisfactory - the video gives a very false impression of how bright they were[n't]. In an emergency, maybe fair enough, but to deliberately put on games in that light, under what were no better than training lights, and particularly when charging customers to 'see' the game, was verging on taking the mick, imo.
