IMO yes. I've thought it for years. The video Ref is there to make decisions on things that the ref hasnt seen, so why not extend it to include possible sending offs. Tommy Lee should have walked last night. I know it may have spoiled the game but he deserved red.

Quote ="pokerface"Look at the NRL with their 2 on the pitch officials, 1 to man the defensive lines giving the othe official more opportunity to see what is going on around him and hence being more ">proficient.'" Another great idea but not possible in SL for the foreseeable future. We haven't the funds for 14 full time officials, probably don't have enough quality ones and Cummings seems to be against it.

Yes, i have said it plenty of times before. The VR is a fully trained and qualified referee, if the referee on the field misses something or doesnt see it clearly we have a referee right there who has multiple angles and slo-motion who can advise. And why not.

I think the VR called that Sam Moa red card

it doesnt even have to be an instant decision. the game could carry on for a couple of minutes while the video ref looks at what happened - (although that could be controversial if the offending player scored a try, and was then sent off for a foul a few minutes previously!!)
