How much more transparent rugby is compared to shitshow VAR in footy

There's nothing subjective about it, which is why it's so much easier. Most checks are for factual evidence.

Just mic’ing all the refs up so fans can hear them in footy would increase trust and improve the sport all round.

I remember Graeme West (I think, Wigan coach) after a heart bypass op - he reckoned he could get by for half a game at loose forward in rugby union (at the time), and about 30 seconds in rugby league.

Great to see rugby players jumping straight back up after getting floored unlike the tarts playing footy……

who was the ref talking to with that "get ready for a drop goal boys, I know it's early" - I thought in-goal refs had been done away with.

When Jiffy went back to Union after six years in League, he said after his first game back in Union how he’d forgotten that you could get cold playing rugby.

Percival is one of the stars for Saints, has been for years without the hype that some others get.

I’d love to get the Etihad expanded and nab the Grand Final off Old Trafford.

I think if we wanted it, it wouldn’t just be the stadium that would decide it though. There are bloody loads of pubs and bars and places to eat, as well as much much better transport links, around Old Trafford and Salford Quays and not much going on at all around the Etihad which could hinder the decision to change the venue.

The surrounding area let’s the stadium down. Pity the council couldn’t find somewhere a bit closer to the City Centre.

Proper rugby this, not ‘pile-on’ rugby the posh boys play.
Fair play to Leeds for giving it a go but Saints just too good, sadly.
