It will really mess up Saints and Hull's games when this happens.
And the refs will appear from where exactly?
Many on these boards don't believe the current crop of SL refs are up to standard, so where we'll find double the number from is anyone's guess.
Mind you, the moaners will have twice as much fodder to whinge about

Leeds will be the team to suffer most , no more forward passes and Webb might as well retire

SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done But he with a chuckle replied That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried. So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin On his face. If he worried he hid it. He started to sing as he tackled the thing That couldn’t be done, and he did it!

I thought that the magic weekend would have been a great venue to trial it over the weekend with all the officals there to spread out the workload over the 2 days. But as one poster alluded to surely it would help if the linesmen were brought into the game more instead of being the non decision making muppets they are at the moment.

The NRL had to introduce two refs because they'd lost control of the ruck and asking refs to do their jobs – a job which every ref at every grade of RL throughout the world manages to do – and stop the nonsense of playing the game on the ground like some sort of aborted RU ruck, while also keeping the defending team, onside was apparently beyond the abiliities of the drongos they'd employed to referee the game.
No other RL competition in the world has this problem and level of referee incompetence, therefore they don't need the NRL's 'solution'.

They are constantly talking to the Ref's all through the match making judgements for him
