Message: [QUOTE="Morkel, post: 2528148, member: 8215"] I understand what you're saying CF, but a lot of what we're seeing is slight incidental contact. You can't penalise everything that touches / brushes the face, which is where we're seeing dives now. And you can't just say the video ref has to stay out of it, because often these things happen in a situation where there's minimal line of sight to the on-field refs & touchies because of the number of players in a ruck. If something is missed, a legit infringement, and someone can see it via multiple cameras, you have to use it. The problem is that the video refs are idiots. The NRL tried to stop diving by changing the rule that the only time a video ref can intervene is if the foul act is sufficient enough to be put on report. So the video refs are looking at EVERYTHING that has just the slightest of contact, and because they believe it's worth a penalty, they put it on report. No. Just fucking no. If it's seriously not enough to put on report, leave it the **** alone. The video refs aren't the big boss in the sky, looking to have the final & ultimate say on every play. They're merely a tool. So do your job. Worthy of report? No? **** off then. A love tap that [I]may[/I] have been called a penalty if a ref spotted it but was not that bad? ****. Off. [/QUOTE]
