Ref Watch 2014 (aka the Skeepe Thread)

[beave]

We need one of those photo enhances Deckard had in Bladerunner.

Footage of the try as it went to air, in somewhat HD

Surely there is a different angles? Was that the only angle they showed on replay tonight

 

[northwest9]

The problem isn't so much teams being robbed of 2 points each week, it's the credibility the game is losing

This year, the refs now have a far greater influence on the outcome of the game than the players do.

Fans are leaving in droves, fans are disillusioned.

Yes the NRL want different teams at the top, but that shouldn't be at the expense of the game

 

[azsportza]

Surely there is a different angles? Was that the only angle they showed on replay tonight

There was only three angles that went to air. Two of them weren't usable.

Angle from the grandstand

Head on angle from the eastern corner

Angle from eastern far corner ?*Camera swung away as the try was being "scored"

 

[insert.pause]

Nine screwed up, video ref doesn't work without the video!

 

[beave]

You can def tell from that 3rd angle that it's a try...........

 

[moik]

This screen shot confirms it. No try. Good call

 

[moik]

Suck shit Storm.

They don't work with it either.

 

[vvvrulz]

I'd say that's more than likely a try. Is it conclusively a try? No. I couldn't say with 100 or even 90% certainty that he's got the ball on or over the line.

Agreed, but surely momentum carried him over the line no problem?

The ruling ended up that he was short and then went over the sideline, which is clearly garbage.

Try every day of the week. Video Ref needs to lose his job. That was actually an easy one and the genius still couldn't get it right.

Every week in the NRL now referees are costing teams games.

It's a fkn lottery when they go upstairs. Sometimes it seems like they want to try and keep games close...who knows what the f**k goes on up there.

 

[Matchball]

If the on field ref called try before the review, it would have been a try being that the video evidence being insufficient to overturn it.
Blame the on field and sideline ref.

The video referee needs to lose his job!? haha. Not a chance.

He acted with the footage he had, within the rules of the game.

People wanted changes to the benefit of the doubt system because it was too subjective, we got that change. Now people are whinging because there was no evidence.

A Storm fan complaining about the refs...what happened against the Dragons again? Lets not forget that one of your tries came from a very dubious decision too! Sacked? What for, at NO STAGE did the ball clearly hit the ground. It might have, might not have. On field call stands.

No, blame the stupid rule that is now in place for the video ref when calls do go up stairs.

 

[bottle]

Bone the video ref.
It's a blight, I've been saying it for ages.
Go back to the officials calling it as they see it, and live with the real time errors.
Game was much more enjoyable.
f**k the technology, it shits me to tears.

Why is it? No one has been able to show a screen shot of the ball over the line. The closest ones are the ones when he's before it.

Storm fans can't complain about dud calls because they had one go their way last week?

:lol: Logic of an 8 year old.
