Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 3365984, member: 1899"] It's definitely eased matters, but I still think it's too difficult to flip momentum in the current game. The removal of the scrum has just made the modern game to a slog and if the referee puts the whistle away like he did for Penrith last week it's game over. What we saw in the Melbourne/Souths game is what happens when the referee actually gets involved. It made for a better finish, but you're never going to see that consistently because eventually you'll rub one set of fans the wrong way and set your career back. It's why most referees pretty much do everything to avoid making the call and let the bunker arrive to those decisions. Speaking of, I still think it's bizarre that last week the bunker wouldn't review the goal line drop out against Manly but tonight we had the bunker overruling itself over Harper. It's weird how the bunker picks and chooses with those goal line drop-outs, because they clearly have the capacity to review those without needing a challenge. [/QUOTE]
