Message: [QUOTE="broncos4life, post: 2691627, member: 7802"] As much as I want the video ref to be able to rule on blatant forward passes like that, allowing them to rule on forward passes would just open up a massive can of worms that wouldn't be worth it. I don't want to see great tries called back for flat balls that are arguably forward because the video ref decides he wants to make a difference. You can imagine QLD scoring a match winner from a flat pass out of dummy half and Luke Patten being the hero for NSW calling it forward. I want on field refs that don't make massive errors like that, why is that so much to ask for? Basic physics says that there is no way Gillett could have touched that ball because there is quite obviously no deflection, how do they make such basic errors like this? Unless he was 100% sure that Gillett touched it (and providing he can tie his own shoelaces I can't believe he was 100% sure about that) he should of sent it up as 'no try, check if the ball has been touched by a bronco'; eliminating the forward pass technicality. I'm completely sick of the refs. It's just another year, another refs boss, more promises that they are working hard to avoid howlers; yet you know already that a blatant howler(s) is going to impact dramatically on the finals series [/QUOTE]
