Any other side would be on top of the Dogs here. Raiders couldn't get the ball down legally if there was no one else on the field

I think one thing that would help the game out is if, like the NFL, they tell the crowd and the TV audience why a review has been ruled the way it is. I'm sure we wouldn't get as many fan blow ups if a video ref was able to point out the camera angle that showed the reason they made the decision with a quick explanation. I honestly believe one camera angle showed the Williams decision was spot on.

Would make no difference. "This camera angle we deem Williams to have lost the ball". Doesnt mean they dont have their eyes painted on.

I know these blokes in lime green flog my side every time they play, but f*ck me dead I can't imagine how frustrating it would be to follow them. Unreal.

Milford only plays with the football.

His attitude to defense and putting his body on the line is very Chris Walker-esque.

I think it would. My view, they made the call on the angle Warren Smith said was blurry, which it really wasn't that blurry. It was the angle though that showed the depth, and you could see the ball leave his control and go out forward. Perhaps only on ones where they disagree with the on field referee, if they quickly announce the decision and show it on the screen it would make things more tenable, and perhaps make video refs more accountable at the same time.

I don't know why more teams don't exploit that tactic. The chip behind our rushing defense is a pretty good option
