Next year all games are now starting at 7.45 from next year because of the constant stopping of the clock during games anvideo ref decisions taking all night! This year 2 games have only finished at 10.05pm! becasue of injuries, time outs for scrums and video ref decisions. even if games start at 7.45 they will only finish at 9.45



Some people have trains.buses to catch and have work to go to

Makes sense.

i wonder how many will be upset just because its less time at the bar for a pint or two?

Judging by the 2 pint crew who roll up 10-15mins into the game in the Carnegie stand at Leeds they wont care.

Is this confirmed or sommat you just want to be put into place?

was in the papers today

Good decision.

Just read up on it. God knows how I missed it.

Fantastic idea. Been mentioning this for a while now, and it's only beingnin the last few seasons I've noticed it. It just seems every game edges towards 10pm more and more. 15 mins doesn't sound like a lot but it'll help those to get away and home on last trains and buses. So realistically a game with no video ref and few stoppages could be over by 9:20pm?

Watching a lot of NRL the last couple of years have NEVER seen a non-overtime game even close to two hours. They do take a bit less time with the video ref but the main thing is half-times are a strict 10 minutes. With super league it's been creeping up and up and 20 minutes are standard... all for the benefit of Sky to flog a few adverts, and another small way they're badly serving the game.

About time, mite just make it to M62 before the slip road gets closed

....And no I don't leave till the hooter sounds.

Excellent news. Will make getting home from away matches much easier.
