Hopefully next season we'll have a lipreader joining the video ref's for every TV game.

Haha! I did just click on to this thread, expecting we were going to have to explain something about RL to someone unfamiliar with the sport.

In this instance they were probably meaning 'Inquiry' - their only saving grace is (as you say) they are enquiring about having an inquiry.

Phew!

It was noticeable that there were no cameras showing the deliberation of the VR and his assistant last night.

What have the RFL/Sky got to hide? The BBC approach of broadcasting the VR's comments much more informative anyway.

I could not agree more about the BBC system. This whole touch-screen video thing seemed to be mostly a Sky gimmick than an innovation. I think having a proper trained video technician supply the replays, under verbal guidance of the video ref, is much better than watching two blokes with a huge 'Ipad' sort it out for themselves. I would switch the BBC system for all Sky games and the only bit I would keep is the video ref announcement and explanation to the crowd in the ground.

Can the lip reading expert go to the big screen during games?

Enquiry was part of the joke
