[QUOTE="RoosTah, post: 820812, member: 12207"] Yeah, it's essentially the same as what they do in cricket, but it works better in footy because doing it that way means the game keeps moving more and there's less hyperanalysing absolutely everything. This year the NRL had a $2 million centralised control room called the "bunker" where they basically video reffed everything. The idea was to be more precise and judge tries faster, but they ended up just using it to review every minor indiscretion and it killed the flow of the game by penalising silly little things way off the ball that you see all the time (a bit like what happened tonight). By about 2 months in they realised they were just ******* everyone off so the pulled back a lot and started looking at the captain's callenge system. Hopefully they implement it next year and the overlords of World Rugby take note and copy the idea for union, as it's just a much better way of officiating the game. [COLOR=silver][SIZE=1]- - - Updated - - -[/SIZE][/COLOR] That's what people said in the NRL. Looks like that's about to change. Heck, it changed in the NFL and that's a vastly bigger sport than either code, so if they can we can. The point is of course that the tech doesn't disappear - it's just used in a more intelligent way. [/QUOTE]
