Just like Pat Richards' i guess!! Didn't stop you crying all over Facebook did it buddy??

I'd say it was justice but seeing as though ours was clearly a try and Richards knocked on I won't. Another shocking decision against rovers was galeas disallowed try but thank fully our patched up side had plenty too much for you lot

either way we lost

I was in the North stand but did not see the incident clearly because I thought Gleeson was tackled, the play was complete and Hull were dropping out from under the sticks so had a slurp of beer! It certainly was not one on one though. Have to watch it on sky again.

This incident just goes to highlight how far we are behind other sports in terms of tv coverage and camera angles, if that was football and if it was a ball over the goal line incident then shows like motd would have about 5 different camera angles and they would even go as far as producing a digital image of it and spinning the camera around and zooming in but all we get on our highlight shows is the same camera angle, i know it carnt change the outcome but it just goes to highlight how amateurish our sport is.

Yet the only people who can make a decision in football are the ref and his linesman irrespective of a million different camera angles and digital images.
In Rugby League our refs are miked up to an official in the stands, we have in-goal officials and for TV games we have video refs. We really arnt that amateurish.
Granted they still get stuff wrong.

Sorry i meant amateurish in the coverage and highlights sense, you only have to look at the super league show to see this, it never has a regular spot and the only extended highlights they show are the games that have been on sky then the rest of the games get a few minutes just to show the tries, how many times at a game do you see a contentious decision and think i carnt wait to see that again on tv and they dont even show it or even mention it sometimes.

If we had half the coverage that most sports get we wouldnt have these was it wasnt it threads every week.

We would still have the was it wasn't it threads, football has a million angles, 3d zoomable recreations and they still manage to make a weeks radio out of one decision. I do agree about the sl show timeslots and coverage in general being poor.

That is just after match analysis by over paid pundits, it has absolutely nothing to do with the game itself.

The refereeing (in goal referees, tv replays etc etc) is far superior to football!

That must be why Gleeson, Rule and a Solicitor were all travelling down to London today, closing their laptops and hiding paperwork whenever someone walked past
