Did Phoenix Crossland actually deserve to be sent off for his tackle on Cleary? | 100% Footy
Was it a send-off or not? A segment from 100% Footy asking whether Phoenix Crossland deserved his marching orders for a tackle on Cleary is the busiest thing on Wide World of Sports, and it got there within its first day.
A new upload on this channel usually starts gently. This one opened at more than forty times that usual first-day pace. On its own, it is running well ahead of what the entire channel normally gathers in a day across everything it has posted. The comments come close to matching the likes, which fits a video that ends its title with a question mark.
100% Footy is Nine's long-running rugby league panel show, and the tags place the clip squarely in its NRL coverage. Wide World of Sports has been a Nine name since the early 1980s, and on this channel it covers everything from tennis to the Olympics. For now, a single refereeing call in rugby league has most of the attention.
