Surely they haven't laid separate colours of AstroTurf down for the different markings have they - that sounds bonkers

What if some of the players are colour blind?

If it's so hi-tech then there should be a way of sorting it out. It's confusing for the players, TV viewers and the folk watching in the ground. From what I've seen, every ground in the UK has to mask out the lines from other sports before a different game is played. It's not always brilliantly successful, but there's at least a decent chance of the players being able to differentiate between the markings.

I do have a problem with the pitch markings. Watching on tv the miriad of lines makes it very confusing. A player last week on catching a high ball thought he had his back foot over the dead ball line, unfortunately he didn't.

This is simply jealous fans clutching at straws. The mighty Toronto Wolfpack finished on the same number of points as Leeds, Salford and Hull kr. Once they sweep aside London Broncos they will be in Super League after earning their place.

Where is the thread on Belle Vue Super League clubs Wakefield ground? That is a disgrace.

The same sweeping aside against London they would have lost to if the Canadian broadcasters weren't so backward that their technology can't support VR?

Good luck to both teams and lets hope there's no controversy this time.

Yeah because that has never ever been brought up before.

Having said that at least the playing field is fit for purpose.
