Message: [QUOTE="CaptainHook, post: 2847170, member: 8315"] Moving beyond Matt Cecchin, Tim Gore, over at The Roar, has posted a good article about refereeing, The Bunker, etc. I did not see Uate's try in the Manly game but there is a theory that the reason it was awarded on the spot is because they were running behind schedule. Did it happen late in the game? It seems suspect that they wouldn't check in conditions like that. He goes on to say that fans basically consist of: - people who want the video ref gone completely (like the old days) - people who are the "I'm alright Jacks" whom he defines as: While the above argument makes sense the problem I have with it is it's a game you can only ever lose - just waiting for the next time you get screwed over and no real incentive for the NRL to improve standards because the howler against your team will be absorbed in the media cycle by the next howler in tomorrow's game.
