In the Canberra Brisbane game, and the Manly Warriors game, a couple of video ref games had massive, momentum and game-turning results.
The no-try against manly was one of the most astonishing I have ever seen, although I have to say that I have no great sympathy for some of these over-coached sides that rely so heavily on decoy runners (Brisbane, Manly, Melbourne Cronulla etc).
What both games showed though is that if you let the decisions get to you - you will certainly get beaten. Manly seemed to turn it up completely after that decision, and Canberra were a bit the same.
We have to be prepared for some dud calls, and be prepared to win games in the last ten or twenty minutes.
