Re: Wigan squad for Hull FC (SLR9)

Regarding the inordinate length of time it took to come to a decision on the Miski try. I got the feeling that Ben Thaler wanted to see the two camera angles (one showing the grounding, the other the touchline from behind) in sync together before he made a decision and the director, for whatever re...

Re: Six again

I just watched MP's Wigan TV interview, and yeah, he does sound very frustrated. And you can't blame him.

Re: Wigan squad for Hull FC (SLR9)

The Miski try was not straightforward, but what bugged me about it was that Ben Thaler seemed to have convinced himself it was a try quite early in the piece, but then repeatedly looked at the same angles over and over again before eventually spitting it out.

Who is this commentator with Barrie Mac? He’s bad enough but this other guy sounds like he’s got a gob full of pops!! 🥴




And they never stop prattling on!

Put a 🤐 or a 🧦 in it FFS 🤦‍♀️
Poor old Jake Wardle still being misnamed for his brother!

Re: Wigan squad for Hull FC (SLR9)

I said when the CC was brought in that I thought it worked fine in the NRL, but was not convinced it would translate well into SL. Not unless a lot more money was spent, obviously. And I stick to that view. And there should be a time limit. Also, the chances of the CC disappearing are frankly zero. ...

Re: Six again

As someone who hasn't got Sky, I much preferred the old BBC set-up with the Superleague Show, imperfect as it was. The Sky Sports+ coverage could hardly be cheaper and nastier.

Re: Wigan squad for Hull FC (SLR9)

Yet another game ruined by inept refereeing and video reviews taking forever. I have always said that the video ref is a complete waste of time, we need to get rid of it, the refs have become too over-reliant on it, they can't make a decision anymore. I am expecting the first day of magic to finish...

Re: Wigan squad for Hull FC (SLR9)

I agree with Mike there. The six agains/pens situation is obviously an issue, but it didn't seem clear to me either that this game was a shining example of it.
