The fact that officials go to the VR for every call RUINS THE GAME. Just like waiting for VAR in football, ruins the game.

Players go down and stay down (see every St Helens game on TV, or SKD telling someone to stay down in the cup semi final) to try and cheat. That ruins the game.

The rules on obstruction and the playing of every move in slow motion ruins the game. Well worked tries disallowed by terrible calls watched in slow motion. It ruins the game.

TV games nowadays are a shadow of what they once were. If me naming one will mean you f*** off then......the Wigan cup semi final was ruined by a decision from the VR that the official didn't give and the VR got wrong.

Blame channel 4 if there is no coverage. You cannot keep giving away rights for free.

Now seeing reports there will be 12-15 games offered to free TV but a watchout is SKY can also show these games so that will dampen interest. Seems they are talking to Channel4, 5 and BBC.

Channel5 wouldent be any better than what we have on 4 so better staying put IMO, and got watch the BBC they have form for shoving RL on in the North only.
