[size=200BRING THE TWO REF SYSTEM INTO SUPER LEAGUE[/size

In this mornings game, a Manly player took out a Bulldogs player (Brett Kimmorley), referee Brett Suttor who was the back play official saw this and told Ben Cummins who was the control official via the mic that it was a penalty to Canterbury.

The penalty was given inside three seconds, and the tap was taken after six seconds.

The two referee system has speeded up the game ten fold from the two games that I have seen this weekend.

In the past under the old system of one referee Ben Cummins would have asked the video referee who was Steve Clark today, to look to see if there was a late hit on Brett Kimmorley and should there be a penalty to Canterbury.

Which in return would of held up play for a minute or two while they would anaylise the footage.

The fans want action, action, action and the two ref system gives the fans what they want.

The problem is we don't have enough refs for two at a match!

Why bother with two refs? There are two linesmen at the side of the pitch who are perfectly positoned to watch for offsides and all those forward passes you keep throwing

Is someone posting on Mick Geldhill's behalf? This one makes sense!

It is to early to say whether the experiment will work in the NRL but the lines men should do more. Why cannot they mointor the off side at the play the ball.

They do.

Do they????

News to me, certainly given the invisibility of certain linesmen.

Thats IF they can keep up with play.

I post sense all the time

Can you imagine how many more points Bradford would lose by if the game was speeded up???

Could be the first Super League club to let in 100 points in a game....and PLEASE let it be against Leeds.

When do the linesmen call the off sides it is very rare, they should mointor it at the play the ball and the ref should observe the play the ball. That would speed up the game and stop some of the nonsense that goes on.

Having watched the system in operation for two games it's gone OK, better than I expected to be honest.

It appears to make the referees job considerably easier with an extra pair of eyes close to the action, which can only be a good thing if we want standards to improve.

Nice to see Manly getting rolled over and interesting to note that despite Peacock allegedly coming off worse in the scrap at the WCC he's played the following two matches while Josh Perry is out injured.
