Change of decision from Video Ref

[Guest]

Although it ended up being the right decision, I hope Robbo really questions that whole process from Saturday nights game. How many wrong decisions have been seen already this year and not been changed around, including wrongly awarded penalties, fumbles in play balls etc.

For record I am all for decisions being reversed on poorly adjudicated decisions, but it needs to be consistant. And it's obviously not.

On the refs, the footy has been much more enjoyable this year I think they have the control of the ruck a lot more - speeding up the play etc.

As I said in the other post. Was it coincidence it happened against us after all the sh*t we've got from the refs over the years? And when was the last time they overruled a decision? There are on average 1-4 wrong calls every game, and that was the first time in my life I've actually seen a rugby league ref blow his whistle and call something, and then change his mind after viewing the replay.

They were doing this for quite a few years but got rid of it was found to slow the game up too much as it seemed every time there was a drop ball there would be a delay while the video ref checked it out, & in the end there were still getting it wrong.

On last nights call, although it ended up the correct decision the video ref had no right to get involved in that all.

Did the vidiot make a call,or did the ref see the replay on the big screen and change the descision himself?

going by the commentators it was the ref on the field who changed the decision cos the replay was so quick to be replayed from NZ tv.

so is it some TV network conspiracy? like when fox didn't show the footage of Izzy losing the ball, allowing the video ref to rule that Mini stripped it so it was a try?

Doesnt matter, the ref cant change a call like that based on tv replays.

No they were just farked calls, but it is amazing how they always seem to go against us.

Isn't there a rule that allows video ref to correct a decision if it is done within a normal break in play. Was the correct decision. No issue with it.

Is that a fact or an assumption?

When was the last time you saw that rule enforced? Have there been 100 instances when it could have been viewed and auctioned the same way? That's the issue.

Fact

Not 100% sure, but i do know they changed the rule about the video ref getting involved in on field decisions because it was slowing the game down too much. Almost every time there was a drop ball it would be checked by the video ref who after 100 replays would still regularly get it wrong.

Out of curiosity when was the last time you saw a decision get overturned like that as i sure cant remember 1.
