Awful decision.

Finally a decent game of Rugby league, one team underperformed and the other played above themselves, but hopefully the Kiwis step up next week to give the Aussies a game for once.

Fiji probably deserved more from the game, but I didn't fancy seeing them roll over again in a RLWC semi-final.

Brilliant game that. Fiji were very very unlucky and that was a dreadful decision that went against them. NZ don't worry Australia with that performance.

So frustrating that someone can have 4 looks in slow motion and a decision as clear as day... And still get it wrong.

Loose carry all day long. Absolutely bottled by the VR.

Re: The World Cup : Sat Nov 05, 2022 9:41 pm  

I know it's inevitable it will come to Super League soon enough, but from what I've seen so far I really don't like the captain's challenge. Surely there has to be a far higher bar set to overturn the on field decision than we could see there? It has effectively put Fiji out of the World Cup and even if we want to be generous, it was a 50/50 call at best.

Feel for Fiji as the decision by VR ruling ball steal was poor, for me it was a loose carry.

I didn't manage to watch that game. Who was the video ref?

Shame so few fans went to the mkm to watch the game. The rfl probably need to reconsider hosting internationals at Hull and Huddersfield going forward

Leeds, Wigan, Saints and Warrington should rotate depending on the countries playing. Was great to be part of a big crowd today and that first 30 mins was something I’m used to only seeing a certain team in green and gold do over my years of watching.
