After last night, just a reminder folks that this timekeeping fiasco will be all fixed when we move to bigger stadiums:
Todd Greenberg took aim at Brookvale Oval over timekeeping fiasco and shot himself in the foot

RUGBY league fans love tradition, just like they hate being treated as fools.
This week Todd Greenberg did himself and the game no favours when he attempted to smother the timekeeping fiasco at Brookvale last Sunday as further proof suburban grounds have passed their used-by date.
Penrith captain Jamie Soward wasn’t the only one blowing up.
You should have heard the reaction from Manly fans in our office when they read between the lines of a story in Wednesday’s paper that suggested Brookvale was to blame for the vital seconds lost at the end of an action-packed afternoon.
I’d imagine the reaction would have been the same in workplaces around the city as fans saw through the spin and realised the agenda.
“We have made our intentions pretty clear that we have great difficulty at suburban venues,’’ Greenberg said.
“The timekeeper can’t physically see part of the ground, through the sidelines, and then with people standing up.
“It’s exactly why we are looking to move to bigger stadiums for the bigger games.”
