The club highlights for this game were rather on the brief side. I hope we never win a game 2-0! Imagine seeing one kick at goal? I really wish we'd produce a full match replay of all games like Wakefield do. It shows there can't be any copyright issues at play - unless, od course, Wakey are ignoring them!

I fully agree DM as someone who these days relies on the highlights to keep in touch with the team progress (changing work patterns etc) they are a bit "amatuerish".

Would be nice if they added some titling - ie Scorer etc and an update on the ongoing score with them, extend them include good play not just scoring, do some QA checks before uploading to YT.

As these are being done by a "professional" agency I would expect a lot better from them. Back in the 80's my Dad and me were doing slow mo highlights overdubed with music of games with VHS - I am pretty sure technology has moved on (I know it has I work in tech).

The full games delayed would also be nice.

Some previous weeks they have been quite extended, 2 weeks ago they were 14 minutes long for example. This weeks is very short for some reason. Should also be noted they're getting grief for not getting them out quick enough so suppose we have to agree which of those we'd prefer

Matagi was put on report in the opening stages of the game but has not been flagged for disciplinary

Why not do both? Brief highlights quickly for those who want them and full game replays available a little later.

I would have thought full game replays would be easier to do as there won't be any editing needed.

Yes, I enjoyed the longer highlights from 2 weeks ago and thought that would be the norm. That's probably why I found the Widnes highlights particularly disappointing.

It's a relief Mataga wasn't charged. We can't afford to have him out of the team.

The easiest option would be for the full game to be posted, not sure on the effort needed for extended highlights and the resource available to do it (compared to the numbers of views they get)
