Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 2883579, member: 1899"] The game is always going to make mistakes, whether it's through interpretations or questionable rules. By just accepting that and letting the games flow on there's a trade off there that most fans would be willing to accept. For the record, I still believe we need to give the bunker more time. Fans have wanted to get rid of it ever since Paul Green chucked a tantrum 4 rounds into the competition, but it's an improvement over the older system. What I don't want to see is them increase their jurisdiction which is what we've seen happen from time to time where referees are being tipped off. The game isn't like those other codes you're referring to. The NFL has a far more controlled environment with 40 seconds between each play. Not only do the umpires have the luxury to get themselves settled, but play always occurs from the centre so it's much easier to make a ruling and review it if it's wrong. The NRL is a different beast and if it takes you 5 seconds to play the ball, it's considered slow. [/QUOTE]
