Ball chipping

[Leader of the Flock]

No, this article isn’t about golf or micro-chipping players to monitor their activities.

This article is reporting on placing a micro-chip in the football to monitor forward passes, off side, and other stuff.

The technology tracks each of those components and in theory it should be instantly identifiable if players are onside or off-side from kicks, if the ball has gone forward or back and the direction the ball comes out of the hands when passed.

Interesting - as I reckon that's the big one the technology has to get correct. So the players get to wear transmitters hey. Beep boop warning will robinson, I'm a robot. lol

Sorry coach, I accidentally on purpose smashed my transmitter!

You are fast becoming (and don’t take this the wrong way ) the back door specialist with those bloody paywalls. @globaleagle has usually been the GOAT, that’s the first time I’ve seen him cop a 404.
Much appreciated.

The refs will get that message too vs Easts, when they go to the video

Could revolutionise the game!!

Could be a complete and utter ****up!!

If it works, why not do it.

The only point of it will be to stop the howler. While Manly has got the short end of some doozies over the years, I think the latter possibility is far more likely.
Plenty of great tries that look fine to any footy fan will be pulled back on a technicality ruled by a computer chip.

Couldn't read the article but you would think this could also speed up calls such as 40-20s and automatically registering successful goal kicks.

I'm going to go with answer B... especially when a ball gets the sh*t kicked out of it every set of six.

I thought this was a post about blakey making a come back

Micheal J Fox is warming up the De Lorean as we speak.

interesting to see how it will monitor passes from a player at speed that passes backwards but almost instantly floats forward.

 

[The Who]

The NRL has agreed what we all saw: the pass was forward that led to the Worriers' try against the Faders. They said: "This decision has been reviewed by the refereeing department and by Jared Maxwell, and they believe that it's a forward pass. "We can all have debates about forward passes, but until we can get technology that absolutely gives us the answer beyond any doubt, there will always be a question mark over them."

Why do we need technology to tell us what our eyes have seen? We don't have technology when the slightest bobble, fumble or knock-on is ruled upon; we rely on the eyes of the officials. Its their opinions. There's no technology involved.
As I've stated before there is a simple solution to overcoming the "no ruling on forward passes" dictum; allow the vidiots to have discretion to make a ruling on every aspect of the match whenever they see an obvious error.
