Spot on.

Watched the Rugby League Superstars programme a couple of weeks back featuring Steve Ganson and while we all know what happed at Magic Weekend he actually came across very well and yes they are striving to get better, but as has alraedy been mentioned they are working on limited funding.

Like a penalty try decision in a major international final. Australian RL had this and its gone from strength to strength.

I have no problems with suggestions and these should be emailed to the RFL, maybe a fans 'spokesman' should be on a committee or whatever sits but what we need to know is there really an issue. In the cold light of day was Thaler really that bad at the weekend, I can't face watching it again so I don't know. I'd have to ask a fan of a non Hull club what he thought.
The only real qualms I've had this year is Ganson at etihad and Child at Wigan. These were both VR decisions and down t interpretation. If we went VR on forward passes then ‘poor’ VR decisions would be made every game. Similar to what is and isn’t an obstruction.
I just don’t get what the petition is for. Do we want a ref sacking, Ganson or Sharp to stand down. Yes voice suggections but is a petition the vehicle for doing it.

Came across as an arrogant t*t and giving officials exposure like that will only make their egos bigger!

When the RFL read that they're going to bust a gut laughing.

I understand the law all right, I think it is ridiculous though.

And if the RFL bust a gut laughing good for them.

If you understand the law then why are you suggesting a method for judging forward passes that wouldn't actually work?

And if you want the law changed so that forward is judged relative to the ground rather than the passing player then you haven't thought the implications through and/or have no idea about physics.

I want to see a massive Rob Burrow making a flat pass to tiny Eorl Crabtree in an Ames Room, on BnA. I love a bit of forced perspective. And shoehorned double meanings.

Getting a fair few people signing up to this ScottHKR.

.........and plenty on the other SL Forums I see

luminaries such as R. Silverwood, Craig Sandercock, Nigel Wood and Chris Burton among them.

Take out his Derby bloopers at Magic Weekends 2013 & 2012 & Leeds v Bradford (Milleniam Magic?) and he's been one of the best we've had. Maybe I've just got a soft spot for him #respect

I think the ref's are on a hiding to nothing, I think we are asking far to much of them, We need a root & branch overhaul of the way the rules are applied. The ruck area is my main concern, we are hell bent on speeding up play to the point that the defence is pushed to get anywhere near ready, I would ,(1) ensure the ball is played by the foot every play the ball any movment ot the ball backward by the hand to be penalised. ,(2) stop tackled players holding the tackler, kicking out & strggling on the ground,(3) moving forward off the mark, (4) stop players diving to the ground to get a quick play the ball by enforcing the voulantry tackle rule. It should be every players duty to try to remain on his feet & make forward progress with the ball. Tidy up the ruck & half our problems are gone. There are lots more we could do but there is not enough time here.
