Just let the referee make the decision and do away with the VR.

We have to have a system and whatever the system is there will be controversy.

For me, if the refs not sure sent it to the VR. Ref to indicate his thoughts of try or no try. Give the VR a set amount of time eg 2 mins to make a decision of most probable outcome, if the VR can’t decide on the balance of probability then go with the refs call.

Tbh, I really don’t think the decision is as egregious as is being made out, RL fans just really love whinging about the ref. It’s very debatable. You can’t see any kind of evidence either way from any angle about whether the ball was grounded or it wasn’t. It’s impossible to say. The ball definitely hits the ground short, then he rolls forward and then the ball ends up off the ground. It’s very very possible the ball touched the line during that sequence, which is all it has to do to be a try. Even under the old system, it was benefit of the doubt to the attacking team so the try would have been awarded.

I know everyone loves to hate on the on field call, but I remember the old system where everybody was saying the ref should be forced to do their job and make a call and see if the video ref can disprove them! It was brought in to stop the video ref taking forever to make decision. I shudder at the thought of how long that decision would have taken last night if the VR didn’t have a basis of “that’s a try so I’ve got to prove that wrong” to work from. There’s no angle to show proof of anything, so even without the on field call, the video ref would be guessing just as the on field ref was. Moore had the best view of it, so I’m assuming he at least thought he saw the ball grounded at one point and just wasn’t sure how it got there.

I’m not sure scrapping the refs call is the answer really. We’ve been there and it was just as bad and there were still many poor decisions. I’d suggest perhaps just lower the burden of proof. Instead of needing “definitive proof” to overturn the decision on field, perhaps just require “evidence that the decision was incorrect” or something like that. It will stop the most egregious ones where it’s obvious the ref is wrong but you can’t find an angle to definitively prove it






The only reason they look up to you is because they chose to kneel.

Dunno if I’ve made this up but when it was first introduced, I thought it was only used in the rare occasion where it was absolutely impossible to see what happened (people in the way, no camera angle etc)

All this needed obvious evidence to overturn it has ruined it.

The NRL do it best. Give 80% of the tries, the bunker will check and call it back while they are lining the kick up.

Or not give it and go straight to the screen.






RICHARDS IS SUPERMAN!!!!

Isn't that what basically happens now, we just have the on-field ref giving his opinion before he asks the VR to review it.

I don't mind the current system even though it may at times cause some discussions, the on-field ref has to be the one in charge of the game and has to give his opinion on what he thought, if there was no VR he would have just awarded the try in the first instance, but we have the technology now to 'check' if he is right or not and in the absence of clear evidence then the on-field decision shuld stand

No, currently the VR has to find conclusive evidence to overturn the refs call. I think the VR should make the decision and only if unable to do so go with the onfield call.

But it is what happens now, if the VR had conclusive evidence he would overturn the on-field decision, if he was unable to do so, then it reverts to the on-field decision, either way you word it, it is the same process, the VR has to be sure otherwise go with the ref.

If you changed to say 'only' the VR could make the call then that would be something different, either the VR finds evidence to say if it was a try or not, or the refs call stands
