I agree and its the usual tactic of Melbourne , when they want to see a tight game out, to challenge decisions in order to reset their defensive line or just slow down a game if momentum is against them. Cameron Smith was the master of this. Ref's make mistakes, both ways and it goes for and against teams, with no real obvious bias and we as fans have to just accept it. If games are televised , then surely the "bunker" can advise a ref if they think he has made an obvious error, more quickly than a Captain's Challenge. It was always accepted that you don't speak back to referees and held up as an example to other sports of how a game should be conducted, but it has slowly crept into the game now and should be policed more, in my opinion, to stop all the accusations that used to follow Sinfield and Tompkins in particular, after they were always in the referee's ear.

Genuine question - why do you think that?



What I’ve seen previously suggested it to be a pay for performance deal.

Its what I though also but it for work the digital arm of IMG has already done for the clubs apparently.

Yeh Ive read that twice now!

I would give heavily discounted tickets for away members - help with travel costs & allow more to travel.



I think would also boost membership sales so everybody's a winner.



Hmmm ....... would need agreement from all the clubs though

Don't get the NRL knockers - as a spectacle it is tremendous - the gap between the comps gets bigger every year, you cant count one off WCC's as indicative.



Last year they grew attendances & revenues massively whereas SL...................



Captains challenge a positive - 1 per game only ( unless it is correct ), occasionally it is used flippantly towards the end of a game to get a breather but very rarely. Even their bunker puts our joke alternative to shame - hopefully the additional ( or at least some ) cameras will reduce the number of duff calls. A stopwatch on our referrals and the NRL's would clearly show the problem. OUR game way more stop start than the NRL.
