With the new rule what's the point of going to the video with these because its always going to go back to the refs original call. Might as well just call it on the field.

That's a pretty dodgey one.
If he thought it was a try why send it upstairs?
What did he think the VR was going to see amongst the mass of bodies that he couldn't?

Farcical. Fix is on. They want a blockbuster next week so they're ensuring it'll be two 5-0 teams. Disgusting.

Storm had most of the field possession and penalties

Outstanding effort by the tigers so far. Hopefully they put that up again in the next 40.

Wtf was that, that was not a try any day of the week EVER

Inconclusive evidence is going to result in going with the refs call 95% of the time now (which seems to usually be try).

Which is probably better than the coin toss that was the old system.

Indeed completely pointless how often will the video ref see enough in these held up situations to over turn the on field ref.

Was it just me or didn't Robinson say to the players 'i can't see the ball' then sent it upstairs and said it was a try??

For the record I thought it was a try, just a weird set of circumstances

I'm not a fan of Braith but he's showing up Benji. I don't care if Benji is injured, he always plays uninspired footy anyway.
