Message: [QUOTE="Mightybroncs2k17, post: 3226196, member: 9166"] It appears the NRL are trying to take the spotlight off refereeing decisions. I think you'll find the change in video referee referrals is about ensuring constant replays of contentious decisions are not continuously replayed and scrutinised. They're taking a similar approach to rugby union where when a try is awarded no one argues and its move on. Also, based on the three games so far i think youll find the NRL have directed broadcasters to NOT discuss contentious decision's and they will assist that process by not showing the vision that the video ref is showing. Generally, the turpin try and the "mead played at the ball" try are played in slow motion time and time again as the commentators criticise the officials. To date there has been no criticism of these decisions, just discussions of the play. I'm convinced it is a clear directive from the NRL to take the focus off officiating. [/QUOTE]
