I've said that for 5 years every friday night mate - rugby onion do it

It's not really a different set of rules though is it? We are just better at picking things up on televised games. Surely that's only the same as having the best officials on the big games, which I've never heard anyone argue against. If we can afford to have a video ref on every game then great but I'd have thought there would be more pressing things to spend money on currently

There are tries scored every week in 5 non-televised games that would be subjected to slow-motion scrutiny from 3 or 4 different camera angles, it needs to be the same across the board. It doesn't even need to be the full big-screen effort that we get at Sky games, there was a stripped back version that was trialled a few years ago (it was a Hull derby IIRC), where the video ref just relays the decision to the on-field ref through an earpiece.

I was at the game in question and they had 4 cameras set up 1 at each corner, some decisions were referred and all seemed happy with the system, the trouble was at the time the rfl's take on it was it was going to cost 200 grand to put the system in place and the clubs would have to pay for it which they wouldn't do

Exactly! They could probably run a proper reserve league for that

Sack-o-e that Bowen....

SHOCKING defence awful.

much better tonight well done mango.

Garbage. Awful player. Disgrace. No impact can't catch can't run. Awful knees.

Great try, solid and some other nice runs/touches. Another step forward and I think he'll continue making them. He needs to take more command still for me and really push himself in to the attacking line but it will come.

Yeah good game, great try - next step hopefully will be he gets involved a bit more, perhaps taking the ball from dummy half occasionally.

Apart from his excellent try his performance today was just how he performed vs cas - he is safe under the high ball, good in defence and starting to link up well with our attack. Some people are only just seeing this because of the simple impact his great try had. Pleased for him.

his isn't a 3rd pivot like Tomkins he is a playmaker and thats role he needs to play.

Last year he took 1st, 2nd and 3rd man positions he can play any of those roles with ease.

He showed signs if it tonight as the season goes on he will fill all those positions.

He had a good game.

When he beds in i'd like to see him drop in at first receiver and maybe take the line on from there.

We've been working the same wrap around move for a few seasons now and it would nice to throw a curve ball like this in there as well.
