As far as the video ref decision goes, I've got no problem with the decision as it's correct under the current rules... But the rule definitely needs looking at I think. We're making it easier and easier to score a try as time progresses when we should be going the other way! The RFL seem far too intent on making our game give the impression that it's "exciting" rather than letting it actually be. All of this "he's got his pink on it, it's a try" nonsense is just rewarding sloppy play where we should actually be rewarding SKILL. You should have to have control of the ball when grounding to score a try IMO. Hall had nothing like, but like I said, you don't need to atm. Soon they'll be saying that crossing the line is good enough as well. They've already removed the corner flags (although I do agree with that as it allows for much more exciting play, but it's still a further example of making things easier).

Surely it needs more than what Sean Long referred to as his "prawn" on the ball?!

To be honest, there are some really good posts, mixed in with some tripe from muggers on here.

LOL - are we now RATING other people's contributions now? Because THAT could get really ugly, you know.

If the purpose is just to talk to your own fans who agree with everything then there is redvee, if the purpose is just to slag each other off, then there is twitter.

There is no ONE purpose of any message board. They are manifold.
