Several controversial rulings had fans spewing over the inconsistency with technology in the game. The Warriors were robbed when a forward pass was called on Roger Tuivasa-Sheck for what would have been a match-winning try against the Eels. The Storm's golden point loss to Manly hinged on a forward pass which led to Daly Cherry-Evans kicking the match-winning field goal in the next set. Braidon Burns' pass to winger Campbell Graham in Souths' win on Friday night was questionable at best and Sydney Roosters coach Trent Robinson was left scratching his head after playmaker Cooper Cronk was denied a try in the third minute of Sunday's 20-12 win over Canterbury after James Tedesco's last pass was ruled forward. NRL chiefs have set the wheels in motion to introduce Hawk-Eye technology to track the movement pf the ball as it leaves the player's hands during a try-scoring moment. League officials are keen to embrace the same technology utilised by tennis for close line calls, the EPL for offside play and cricket's use of it to judge lbw decisions. “The only way we can be 100 per cent certain and consistent with forward passes is with this Hawk-Eye technology,” NRL head of football Graham Annesley said. "The company’s engineers have told us they can develop a system where it can identify even in the closest margins if the ball has been thrown backwards or forwards from a player’s hands. [/QUOTE]
