[quote="Jack Burton":3mvbv7md]Anyway, I thought despite a few technical issues the opening game, and the coverage was superb. Great crowd, great intensity, great occasion.[/quote:3mvbv7md] Yes, really good start to the season. Struggled to see the mitigating circumstances when Keighran struck a prone player in the head when he had the whole body to aim for ? Nice to see Liam Marshall’s electric eel impression being ignored at last by a referee. Only downside for me was the Superleague champions opening game being played with all the football markings across the pitch. Very distracting for viewers and demeaning for a sport wanting to be taken seriously by the media and potential sponsors.

Lewis calling for 10 mins for Hoy (i think). .Should be auto 10 mins for any player doing that.

Lewis is a bit of an ars£ tbh. Delighted to see his late knock on after his usual clapping and head patting of other fumblers.

The Salford game playing out exactly as expected so far. Not a good look for the sport.

Degsy suggesting a team losing a GP game should get a point. I'd much prefer a first possession try wins it outright, with a field goal (or a pen) allowing the other team one possession to do the same. After one possession each, sudden death as now. A la NFL.
