[QUOTE="Vambo, post: 216531"] <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (LeksoRugby @ Sep 5 2008, 03:21 PM) [url='index.php?act=findpost&pid=345992']<{POST_SNAPBACK}>[/url]</div> Hi, The Cueto no try was a perfect example of why the technology of the video ref is a good thing. My problem with video refs is more to do with their use in Superleague... this season we have had very good examples of video refs giving the wrong decision and even the refs boss came out and apologised to Bradford after they had two good tries chalked off incorrectly by the video ref. I also hate the fact that a ref will go back ages in play and check for stuff like how the ball came lose, was anyone offside and was the ball grounded correctly whilst often ignoring a blatently obvious forward pass that everyone in the stadium bar the match officials witnessed, It makes a mockery of the whole thing to see tries given despite a pass that was miles forward and yet an invisible to the naked eye 'obstruction' that had no affect on the defender will mean a try being denied. There was a try awarded by the video ref last night despite no actual evidence that the ball was grounded. [/QUOTE]
