Message: [QUOTE="Porthoz, post: 2621316, member: 2221"] This is in my opinion the worst refereeing season in this millennium, and with the available technology, that is simply not good enough. FWIW, I think the NFL has got it right, with a head referee, a number of assistants, 2 challenges (they get a third if both are proven right), TD's are always reviewed, and in the last 2 minutes of each half, the "video ref" can also challenge a ref's decision. The head referee has a "video booth" where he can check the available images and is the only one who can rule on the maintaining or reversing of the decision. Yes, I know that having each try reviewed can be a pain, and the NFL is obviously much more suited to this due to all it's stoppages, but the system works (except for that period in 2012 where the professional refs went on strike, and you truly saw the difference between them and the park footy ones). While there are always controversial decisions, you barely ever see major game defining stuff-ups... they will mostly be 50/50's some people will whine about, or some obscure interpretation of their complex rules. I think we need to go back to a single head referee system, and none of this control ref BS, with a number of assistants to help him out and 2 captain's challenges. The players will almost always really know what happened, and they won't want to waste the precious challenges on BS stuff, but only about what is worth arguing. [/QUOTE]
