Overhead camera: has potential, wasn't used particuarly well, and probably too much, but when they get the hang of it, and work out which shots work well, hope to see it again.

Ref cam: waste of time, adds nothing. ( actually it does add a touch of comedy in making the refs look mildly ridiculous, but then again, they've got Ganson )

Spider cam (or whatever they called it) was poor, I couldn't see what was going on at times when they used it, I couldn't see Rovers last try on Saturday as they moved to this view. Should be used for replays only, not in game action.

Not sure if the ref cam is worth the hassle and expense either.

Agree with Sadfish, on replays of incidents it's interesting to see the refs view. Premier Sports used it better though.

Spider cam couldn't keep up when in real time, but was good for kicks to keep them interesting to watch with panning angles.

Mummy duck is now thoroughly depressed. SHE was the one that was famous for losing five in a row........until the 2011 GF!!!!!:



Spider cam for replays.

Ref cam for Assessing "how the ref might have missed that" or "did the official really say that to the players" etc.

For in-game TV coverage, stick to the tried and tested.

We also need corner post cam now, that Watkins try could have looked spectacular(although it did anyhow).

They tried it .............................. but after spending 5 minutes looking at all the different angle, they still got it wrong.

What next though?

Sprinkler cam, they pop up randomly out the ground, like a Peacock offload.

Post cam, to get the close up of Mickey Higham's full range of head down ass up scoot tries.

HullFC fan cam, just to see how he landed the blow to the KR fans nose.

I thought both were good additions. Obviously spidercam is only going to be used at big events, but I liked the different views, especially when just behind the attacking line as it showed the gaps in the defensive line. Best used as a replay though.

As for Refcam well I quite liked that too. It showed the refs view of incidents and despite their being a lot of pleading for decisions from players it showed that most players are actually quite respectful when talking to the ref.
if they could find some way of having ref cam without making the refs look like they've just come from an S&M parlour, that would be brilliant.

The Borg you mean, obviously though without the collective intelligence.

kcab sfrawdder Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done But he with a chuckle replied That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried. So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin On his face. If he worried he hid it. He started to sing as he tackled the thing That couldn’t be done, and he did it!:9005.jpg



Spider cam, excellent

Ref cam, nah, silly

I'd suggest

Stevo cam, only films the hookers

Knob head cam, focus's on Ryan Bailey

Too much use of Spider cam while the game was going on - would work best for replays.

Ref cam is a bit of pointless gimmickry
