It's a good job Danny Tickle retired

Took him about half a day to take a conversion

Sorry to spoil it for you, but the shot clock doesn't apply to conversions or penalty kicks at goal. In fact, they now get 1 min 20 instead of 1 min to take a kick, and time just goes off after that, they are still allowed to take the kick. Shot clock relates solely to scrums and drop outs.

They may not have a visable shot clock but club gets fined if the kicker takes more than a set amount of time (forgot the actual length of time they are allowed)

The shot clock did indeed contribute to the game actually finishing on time - so that can't be a bad thing; when Sky get over the novelty, I can see it being a positive addition to the rules.

Take em a while. And when a side concedes the first shot clock penalty, well, there won't be enough tissues in the commentary box to go round.

I think the shot clock is a great concept , speeds up the game and stops blatant time wasting .

In reply to uncle ricco, Chris Hill did the deliberate time wasting in both matches at Belle Due mainly on his goal line & then scrums & broken play. This was spoken of on Wakey's forum at the time headlined cheating. Last season this issue was viewed at Leeds & spoken of on their forum, !!!!
Every one can't be wrong or are you saying it's a bias observation, however I do accept everyone reads things differently which is what opinions & forums are about !

I agree that Forums are about opinions and of course you are entitled to yours i was happy to read it and respond to it. I might even disagree, but I'm not even saying that you are wrong to have your opinion.

I was questioning what you were basing your opinion on? It transpires that it was your opinion from watching two games at Belle Vue, not every time the cameras weren't there, or however you phrased it, as every time the cameras weren't there, neither were you apart from your two home games against the Wire, which in my opinion is a bold statement (you even used capitals and exclamation marks) for such a small sample.

Hi Rico, it was not just an issue @ Belle vue, leeds fans also witnessed the same @ Headingley , why try an say only me ?

Indeed. Would it have killed Sky's graphics team to integrate the shot clock timer into the score graphic, like Fox League have managed to?

That’s what I was thinking, it was like something out of the 1970s seeing a little square with a camera shot of the clock wobbling about

Re: All Hail the Shot Clock : Sat Feb 02, 2019 12:26 pm  

I think if a player is injured, they ask to move the player to the side of the field if it is safe to do so.

So cramp etc after a few seconds the ref will ask if he can be treated at the side. Which is what happened with Makinson who hobbled back up. Also Lomax with the bang on the cheek.

I think if it was a leg hanging off etc then they would be allowed to treat on the field

I'll leave this thanks, but, before I do I didn't say it was only you, I asked what you were basing your opinion on and in fairness you can only really point to two games at belle vue and hearsay from one group of fans it's hardly being reported league wise week on week?

You have your opinion and think it's valid, fair enough I said it was a small sample and whether he's guilty or not these kind of things are often in the eye of the beholder an example being one man's fantastic line speed is another's offside...

I don't think he's perfect by any means and Chris Hill's biggest problem for me as a bloke who sees him week in and week out is when he gets into moaning mode with ref's, often on the back of, or as prelude to a cheap penalty instead of playing like he does for England. I don't really have him down as a guy that consistently wastes time and certainly no more than others

My thoughts exactly - we don't need a BT Sport style 'Picture-in-Picture' every time it happens.
It's easy enough to add a box on the end of the graphic, just like is done with the football with any added injury time.
