Listening to video ref

[Perth Red]

Have to say it is good to hear the video ref talk through the decision and even better they decide it so quickly in UK, no need for 15 replays.

It is brilliant. Makes so much sense, and the commentators/media afterwards/fans can't bitch so much about calls that are explained straight away, while the relays are happening.

Bring it to the NRL, try to allay some of the toxicity toward the officials.

 

[Perth Red]

Have to say having the one ref seems to actually create a faster more flowing game.

 

[Perth Red]

The first game video ref was great but the one in the Wales games mumbled his way through it.

Even better when they learn not to stop and pick up 5 cent pieces

It is in the NRL now though, isn't it? From memory it was implemented in the finals series. Don't know if it's permanent though. However, it's a great idea

Probably because players from both sides never got back the 10.

Sort of.. In the NRL they make their explanation of the decision AFTER they made their decision where last night they were explaining everything they saw while showing the video replay and made their decision from there.

No real surprise there since Shayne Hayne was the video ref in the 2nd game

 

[Pierced Soul]

Maybe it's just a case that our video refs are geniused. Was Very insightful to hear the vid ref in the aus v eng game, logical, concise

 

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

Perth Red bagging the NRL and talking about how everything that isn't the NRL is great, what a surprise

There were circa 20 penalties blown, and Henry missed heaps. The game was a wrestleathon.

It's a relic from the past that needs updating.

Exactly. PR has problems.

 

[jargan83]

Was a big fan of the video ref talking through the process and would love to see/hear more of it

 

[Lockyer4President!]

Yeah thought it was really good also.

Best thing about it in the NRL is that the morons like Rabs would have to stfu and listen instead of filling up the time with more whinging...

 

[Captain Apollo]

In the UK Super League, when the Video Ref was brought in, they did so on the proviso that they only had a few minutes (2 mins if I remember correctly) in which to review the footage and make a decision. As such this is probably why the UK video refs were quicker in making a decision in the World Cup games.

1 ref sucks balls. Hearing the video ref is great

 

[nrlnrl]

can be good, but doesn't stop someone pressing the wrong button / the wrong result being shown on big screen …..twice

 

[Captain Apollo]

can be good, but doesn't stop someone pressing the wrong button / the wrong result being shown on big screen ?..twice

It was a French official was it not? Maybe the buttons were not labelled in a language he understood fluently? :sarcasm:

Henry Perenara was painful to listen to this morning.
