Honestly, I don't think the bunker is going to be much different.

They have control of the angles now.. But it's still the same idiots using the technology.

I bet a month's pay that you could go back through every bad call in 2015 and find an angle that shows conclusively why it was wrong in over 80% of them.

I suppose it could help if the NRL just scrapped the try or no try.

I can't believe that John Olive try was awarded. No evidence at all that the ball was grounded but given a try because the on field ref sent it to the bunker as a try. I think that rule needs to be fixed. The Bunker has been ordinary of late. They've still got the same idiots in the box making the decisions except now he has more angles and replays to watch.

Fox slowed it down then enlarged the shot and I thought the ball touched the grass. Cerrtainly was very very close and close enough to uphold the touchies decision

I noticed during the game that after one Bunker decision, the ref said, "They have different camera angles that we didn't see". I can see this being an excuse for refs to shut captains up, whether it's true or not.

They had it a while back for AFL teams but I never found the NRL versions. My foxtel remote sounds like a shake toy with all the loose shit inside it so I'd love a good excuse for a new remote.

Watching Sunday ticket and they just showed Aubusson was onside.

Why don't they use that line for these types of situations?

So it looks like they still only sell the AFL versions. I remember looking into this a year or two back, for the exact same reason I was watching an ad and I saw an NRL team remote but I could never find it at the time.

Looking on eBay there's a Warriors and Titans remote.

Just found this on Twitter - https://twitter.com/shaygilmer/status/662042124196577284 maybe if someone uses Twitter they'd be nice enough to ask him where he got it from and let us know?

That's too far away for me, but I guess that means they might actually sell them but just don't advertise them (which is silly).

I've emailed Foxtel asking if I can buy it from them online/over the phone.

You get them from Foxtel kiosks in shopping centres.

You can't buy them online.

This is as good as not being for sale :P I'll see what Foxtel reply back in the email, if not I'll get one of my family members to buy me one if they come across a Foxtel kiosk.

Gotta say, I much prefer Voss and co than Smith/Brandy and co.

This game has been terrible.

Panthers give away 10 penalties in 30 minutes and no sin bin?

Yeah I thought dragons were unlucky to not get that try either. I thought the ball looked dislodged just as the second man got there.
