Please tell me that there is a video referee.

There is, it is Phil Bentham

Wonder if sky are paying for extra cameras to be there with who ever it is that normally televises the games.

Pretty sure for the VR they have to provide a certain number of camera angles.

The RFL have put the real A team on to referee the MPG. What is for sure is that they will be under scrutiny, they will need to be at their best.

Broncos need to go into this game with the same approach they did with the Toulouse game, start well, don’t give away early points.

If they have a good first 20 minutes they have a decent chance, go a couple of scores down early on and it will not be good.

In theory Toronto have the greater expectation so more pressure.

Just hope Dixon gets a good first five minutes as well, in big games in the past he has had nightmares, if he starts well he plays well, a poor start for him and his whole game is poor.

Why are you so pedantic you know exactly what Gardner was saying.

Not sure about this. Biggest game in ages was last week's. Dixon did fine despite the dodgy floodlights which I assume made catching the high ball more tricky. Which big games are you thinking of ?

I don't agree on Dixon, a lot of games he makes mistakes in the first half and then a great second half. I refer you to the key Featherstone match, the Widnes match and the Leeds game. Perhaps northernbloke is thinking of the Challenge Cup with Hull KR of which there is a painful Kieran Dixon highlight reel available on YouTube.



He's a mecurial player that comes up with a special play every game. Sometimes I think he is prone to a little bit of self-sabotage, almost as if he needs to dig his way out of a ditch!



I agree he was great under the high ball against Halifax. Praying he grabs one or two trademark interceptions on Sunday!

Wantawin, what gardener said suggested these were 2 new touch judges, what’s pedantic about telling him actually they are v experienced grade 1 touch judges just newest ranks to join full time?

When Dixon came back from KR, what happened? His first game back was a mare, he ended up getting dropped, his confidence was shot!

I stick by it, if he starts well, takes his first high ball cleanly he generally goes on to have a good game.

If he fluffs his first one as stated he is prone to self sabotage and struggles.

Am not saying he is not a good player, merely his confidence can go very quickly.

Ok open question?

The two touch judges doing the game in Toronto on sat! Are they new touch judges? Or are they experienced grade 1 touch judges!

The actual point is.

There are 3 games this weekend. Only one has 3 full time officials appointed, actually 4 if you include PB is the MPG.
