Did they really though? The camera was on him initially then when it was obvious he was having a seizure it just focussed on the players. What should they do, swing the camera around fans in the crowd for 15 minutes?

Unless I'm wrong and there was close ups after it was obvious what was happening but I don't recall any.

 

[Strop]

Same. I thought they cut away pretty quickly after it was obvious he was convulsing.

 

[Xzei]

Was it after the players got around him obstructing the view?

 

[Fozz]

My memory of it was they showed the ref reacting and then they showed him on the ground and he started seizing and then they cut away to focus on Ricky. After that, they stayed focused on Ricky for a long time until there were long shots of the players around him on or close up on other players.

 

[BroncsFan]

And I think the shot of the players surrounding him was just one of those nice ones to show player solidarity... they didn't attempt to zoom in between the players, just wanted to capture them as a whole.

There were similar shots of players around Eriksen in football when he had his cardiac issues on the field.

That's exactly what happened.

 

[Foordy]

Ricky reportedly plans to have Croker sit out next weeks match against the Tigers, so he can play his 300th in front of his home crowd.

 

[BroncsFan]

Ennis claiming Ponga might need an HIA because of a high shot... he didn't show any signs of a concussion, but he still wants him to go off the field.

 

[ZTop]

Man this ref certainly loves the sound of his whistle

 

[Battler]

Knights getting souths like get out of jail yardage pens here

 

[ZTop]

**** me Ennis unbearable

 

[ZTop]

This game is almost unbearable, too much whistling and too much Ennis

 

[ZTop]

It's hard to tell what's worse, the players discipline or the refs discipline.

 

[Battler]

Here we go again. He lifts his arm off the ground and promotes the ball: who cares what happens with his body from that point

 

[ZTop]

Well if that's double movement turuvas was also

 

[Fozz]

Here we go with the double movement lottery
