One of the few sports going ahead this weekend

A few other sport fans will watch especially the channel 4 game

Hopefully the games will do justice and no milking penalties or stupid cards

A chance to show new people what RL is all about

Similar scenario to just before the 1st lockdown when Cas-Saints replaced footballs super sunday and I beleive got good viewing figures.

Yes let's hope and pray the Ref's keep their whistles in their pockets and the video ref doesnt look at decisions for the 145th time

Nice amateurish video ref decision there, that should attract the football fans

Wait til the Football fans realise someone will sit and watch the full 80mins tomorrow in slo-mo with bans handed out for looking at the ref the wrong way and the mysterious 'other contrary behaviour'

What an advert that was, garbage standard

One of the worst games I've ever seen in Super League that. There are community teams that would have beaten either of those sides, utterly pathetic throughout. Sky trying to make out that Leeds came up with something remarkable, when in reality they were awful. Another eye opening refereeing performance. No control over the game, so much inconsistency and nonsense decision making adding to the frustration.

He’s right though. It was an absolutely unforgettable game of rugby league with a shocking skill level on show. Embarassing for a supposed play off game

There seriously needs to be an investigation, the angle the ref asked for was there, but he wasn't shown it. Also why did he have to say " I have seen all the angles" when he didn't? So he didn't get to see the ball carrying arm hit the floor, and as he was looking to confirm a decision, rather than looking to make one, he did just that. So the man who has multiple angles and slow-mo replays defers to the man on the pitch who wasn't sure...

They also need to stop trial by video during a match, wait for the replay until we play on, no wait for the third replay, oh I didn't get a replay so the potential shoulder charge to the head won't be punished because the three officials on the grass defer to a man in a portakabin who can't see anything....
