[QUOTE="St Helens RLFC, post: 249357"] The big problem I have with the video referee is that the benefit of the doubt going to the attacking team now appears to have gone. But then you get odd decisions that it doesn't. Mr Thaler, who I think is one of the best referees we have, made some very curious calls on Saturday, each contradicting the other. He gave a Harlequins try when, in my opinion, the ball clearly bounced forward and should have been disallowed. Benefit of the doubt to the attacking team. Next, we have a decision to check the grounding for the Quins. Personally, I thought it was a try. Wigan, in the last minute, have an almost identical try given. Benefit of the doubt goes against Quins, for Wigan. I'm not saying this because it's Wigan, it just highlights the inconsistency. If I wanted to question the officiating in regards to Wigan I could always mention Phil Bailey's "try." ;) [/QUOTE]
