A personal bugbear of mine is the lack of correspondence between officials and the paying public. Every other sport on the planet makes sure fans are informed with regards to officiating decisions except New Zealand Speedway. I'm not sure what the problem is with keeping fans informed but is it any wonder rumour and innuendo gets out of control when the fans are not informed about what's going on in the meeting they have paid to attend? I don't believe that to be true at all. The difficulty with any discussion with the public is the same as this board....everyone thinks they are right based on interpretation and it simply becomes unproductive (plus 80% of the public probably don't actually care). None of our most participated in sports offer any real time justification of decisions (although rugby and league try) Having been the person on the mic, it also gets really ugly really fast when ' oh but XXXXX said via the PA' gets used as a counter protest when someone (usually a family or crew member) is full of emotion and a call has be made, overturned, re made, protested etc etc Tennis does, as you mention Rugby & league do. American football prob does it better than anyone else. F1 does it well now. cricket... mmm, not so much. but I'm sure we could get a couple of sentences from a ref after each race in the same way the judge calls the official placings for the first 6 horses over the line at the gee gees |

How is the injury toll this year?
I belive a Joblin had a broken collar bone and Karl Ross appeared to have a moment. Any updates?

The Stratford Scrappers also took some big punishment, with Bruce Williams, Karl Shearer and Johnson all having big impacts. Hope they all ok! Likewise Francis Potaka (V) and Alan McRobbie (R) both had some massive impacts and were looking a bit sore. |
