Message: [QUOTE="OXY-351, post: 2449007, member: 2107"] On Friday night, I think it was fairly obvious to everyone that at one stage Corey Parker ran around behind one of his team mates and it impeeded an opposition player, yet the refs made no call on it. I'm sure the refs saw it, but weren't 100% on it so thought they'd let play go on and see what evenutated. I'm almost certain if they had scored from the play (which was looking somewhat likely as it opened up some space down the sideline), the refs would have gone to the video ref and it would have been denied, but because there was no try scored in the specific play in question, play is allowed to go on. If they score on the next tackle, they have still gained an advantage from the obstruction, but it cant' be ruled on by the video ref. ffs refs, grow some balls and make the calls. I think too often these days refs are second guessing themselves because they are too worried about the scrutiny if they make an incorrect call. It's easier to not rule on the play, and then refer it to the video ref if needed. I think the rules around the video ref need changing. Either they should be allowed to rule on any play during the game, or only allowed to rule on in goal issues (dropped balls etc). [/QUOTE]
