Agreed.He also kept telling the captain to have a word with his team. Have they done away with the team warning? Also,it's time they got rid of that irritating T@@@, Stuart (Knows F*** All) Cummins, with his inconsistent drivel.Shane Flanagan Cronulla coach, wasn't happy at all with Robert Hicks performance.He said he was too inconsistent,and wanted to get back to a 2 ref game.

Well done to Wigan. It was a great performance by them.
I didn't get to see much NRL last season, but I thought Cronulla were the worst Aussie side I've seen in this competition

Yes Wigan certainly met their match on the intimidation & niggle front, and agree Wigan were the better side.

The commentary team at Sky are getting worse, I almost missed Stevo today

Next one over there then?

This always annoys because 8/9 times out of 10 you just see the captain jog back in line without ever saying anything. Completely pointless.

The point is that, the team know that the captain has been spoken to.
Very rarely, if at all does the captain actually go and speak to his team.

Even though the games weren't classics and I have concerns over where RL is going as a spectacle to watch...this is great news for SL. The RFL & Club marketing teams need to get off their back sides and get some promotion done. Any English success against Australia goes down well with the general public, and we need to make the most of it.

Yes , it's the next to last warning

I thought Warrington-Brisbane was a great spectacle, played at a high intensity.

Not everybody on the team will know what's been said between captain and referee though as they're too far away. We know because we can hear the refs on tv but the ref and captain in conversation can't always be assumed to be that the whole team is on a warning from players who are 20/30m away from said conversation.

It was the better of the two, but I still feel the game is lacking some flair these days

That's the captains problem , not the refs

I remember Sinfield asking a referee to give him time to speak to his team before restarting play, but I can't remember other captains picking up the obvious advantages in doing that.

Have you watched the NRL lately? It's turned into British bulldog.

Cronulla and Brisbane will probably be happy to have got some pretty high intensity run outs before their season starts. We should try and organise something like our top three going over there to play next time. All our teams would be delighted to get the chance to go over and I'm sure pretty much all the Aussie teams would be delighted to play us over there.
