Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 3364609, member: 1899"] My issue with the captain's challenge is the limitations. Referees will often weigh up the variables, so in that Ray Stone incident, Atkins may have noted Liu's foot in the ruck but cleared it since Stone played the ball a metre off the ruck. Similarly with the Will Smith situation, Atkins may have sided with Smith since Penisini drags Smith's body and was playing advantage until the lost ball. However the bunker can't rule on that and only what the infringement was for. Did Moses' leg cause the error? No, challenge successful. Did Liu's foot cause the Stone error? Yes, challenge successful. For mine captain's challenge should only be there for black and white situations or in a situation where the ball has been spilled several times and it's virtually impossible to figure out who made the original knock on. The rest is an absolute gamble and feels removed from the game. [/QUOTE]
