I expect to see ref's send easy decisions up to the video ref just to be "extra certain," that's been going on forever. But for calls that don't even have a hint of doubt. Why???????
This video reveals everything that's wrong with referees in the modern game. For so long they've been pampered and indulged by the video referee that they're afraid to make a decision on their own. Take this try for example. The ball was being played as the siren was sounding which is play on, Rooney was well behind the kicker so there was no offside, the ball was obviously grounded and there was no hint of any obstruction anywhere in the play. So WHY THE HELL did he go to the video referee???
I hate watching games in front of half empty stadiums it just screams mediocrity at me especially if the game is rubbish, while I am on a rant get rid of the video ref as well, takes all the controversy out of the game and takes away the joy of a try being scored. And finally lets make allowances for some biffo! Put a bit more flair and character into the game instead of this sanitised family friendly rubbish the NRL seems so obsessed with. The crowds will flock back.
