DSM5 link said:The article calls for the abolition of the video ref. Â I don't however agree that the video ref should go. Â The second ref is the problem imo. Â To many soft penalties. Â I never minded the minutes wait while they got a decision right, and I've always wanted the video ref to rule on forward passes, especially in the movement leading up to a try. Â I see the vr as a more effective assist to the ref in the middle than those muppets who run the sideline and can't see a forward pass when it's in front of them. Â
I agree that the video ref should go. The NRL should adopt the NFL way in which there is somebody (call them a video monitor) who can replay on the big screen the portion of play that needs reviewing and the referee on field then makes the decision.
