I agree, he's def talking to someone, whether it's the VR I don't know but I'd agree it's more likely as the refs tend to speak to the TJ's face to face.

It's not a fact it'd be on report with no VR, the ref might well have had the balls to send him off.


Yep so have I, IIRC the Webb tackle in the Wakey v Leeds game wasn't even given as a penalty initially and if play hadn't been stopped due to the Wakey player needing treatment then I reckon play would have carried on. In that stoppage in play I'm sure the ref is talking to someone over the mic about the tackle. Again I can't 100% say it was the VR but I don't know who else he'd be talking to.

Would people be happy to have the video ref more actively involved?

By that if he sees something he relays it to the ref during play, i would but only if an infringement was dealt with when there is a genuine stop in play. We all want the right decisions going on plus how many of us are sick of the 'cop out' report system.

I wouldn't mind but the Tanseygate came about from the VR doing exactly that but getting it wrong.

O' donnell did nothing wrong it was all in the imagination of the match officials who decided that because kirke was lying injured then foul play must have been involved, not nice seeing a player prone like kirke was, but it was an unfortunate clash of heads, we are still awaiting official response from cummings/ RFL as to why LOD was sent off when none of the officials saw anything wrong at the time,it wasnt even a penalty,but decided nearly 10 mins later that he must have done something!
Disgracful,farcical and corrupt decision and not one word of apology or explanation,twice now LOD has been sent off v leeds for nothing.

One word - Alibert.

A pathetic excuse for a referee.
