[QUOTE="nickdnz, post: 591687, member: 38640"] I hate the TMO extensions. In my mind it is killing the game as a spectacle - when we have to wait two minutes to hope to be at all excited by a try. Even for clear cut tries referees are showing no backbone - and it ends up going back to the other side of the field to check what a referee should have picked up the first time. I could live with the odd forward pass - even in 2007 - but right now I find the frame by frame check of possibly questionable moments to be farcical, especially considering some of the ludicrous calls they result in anyway. I'd much rather referees backed themselves and occasionally got it wrong than the kill joy TMO protocols that currently exist. I wouldn't even mind if teams had say two challenges like in tennis, but with two assistant referees and one actual referees - they clearly have the most redudant jobs in the world. The only thing I like is foul play going up to the TMO, other than that if a referee misses a forward pass two phases back, that's his problem and should not be the teams. [/QUOTE]
