General NRL 2020 Round 3 - General Discussion

what do people think of the fake crowd noise?

Thought it was a bit odd at first but it quickly fades into the background and is better than deadly silence

 

[matiunz]

Thought they’d tone down the post try hugging etc considering the climate and the hoops they had to jump through to get started

perhaps they're getting carried away by the enthusiasm of the crowd

 

[Dixpat]

The person controlling the crowd noise needs to watch what is happening on the field before he pushes the button

 

[pbrown01123]

if it's a shit game are they still going to have the crowd noise turned to 11?

only when they play the warriors

Good to have the games back on. I don't think our side can play at this pace, would love to be proven wrong. Hopefully our pedestrian ball movement improves.

Vossy saying the game is going to Fox Sports 1 is good to see, get some more eyes on the comp. Might get some bored people looking for some live sport hooked.

Parramatta are pissing this atm

Edit: disallowed

It helps it feel more normal, but then you remember it's fake noise and takes you out of it again. Dead silence isn't great either

I wonder if the US audience are pleased to see Lodge playing?

 

[gREVUS]

broncos are just a hair off at the moment. score should be 18-12 instead of 6-12

Yes please , I just know that at club level we got a list of quite strict guidelines we have to adhere to- one of which was no handshakes or high-fives. Seems a bit redundant in a contact sport and you’re right about the quarantine angle. Just thought they’d be held up as poster boys for Covid rules given how high profile this restart is.

I wonder how much of an US audience there actually is, the sycophantic commentary is a little cringey

A few people in New York wont be happy. The rest wouldn't know who he is or even give a shit. They got people rioting in the streets at the moment...

 

[Viking]

Good game. Our boys can't hang with teams playing at this pace.

 

[mt.wellington]

what do people think of the fake crowd noise?

Bit WTF at first but its now background noise, literally. Beats listening to the players yelling and cussing. Anyone who has watched enough live games will know some of the shit that comes out of players mouths are R18 to put it mildly...

 

[matiunz]

Parra a bit lucky with some calls tonight

 

[Hardyman's Yugo]

Decent game tbf

 

[tajhay]

Fox has fake crowd noise...does ch9 as well?
