Give it a rest.

It couldn't have been a try because Matty Russell doesn't play in the NRL so therefore it was no try !

Anybody remember an era before Video refs where even an idea and the game of rugby got by very well?

Yes we got on great untill some nerd invented the instant replay. Then all we got was endless arguments that the ref was wrong & we(insert team name) were robbed. I would happily go back to no video ref as long as we had no replays as well.
What I would like is the ref to give his opinion before going to the screen as they do in the NRL.

yes the Opinion is better I think.

I wouldn’t give an opinion. It just means the VR judges something with a bias rather than simply his own view of it.

What I would do is split decisions between matters of fact and opinion. Matters of fact to be referred to the VR and matters of opinion handled by the ref. The only exception being violent or dangerous play, which if the on field ref doesn’t see, it is able to be referred .

So obstruction, laying on, messing at the ptb, etc with the on field ref. Onside/offside, touch, grounding etc VR.
