Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 2739654, member: 1899"] Maybe I've got a selective memory, but I can only remember two referrals that were howlers. The Gillett No Try vs North Queensland. And the James Tedesco try vs Cronulla. Outside of that the only issue is them getting involved in general play. As Bennett said, it's too inconsistent and even intrusive. Players and coaches are willing to wear the decisions that go against them try line to try line, what they find difficult is the referrals. I've said it before and it happens like clockwork. It only takes about 6-7 weeks before coaches decide to kick up a major fuss and Gus Gould jumps on board because that's the persona he's carved out for himself. Gus hates the video referee because it's a product of a competition he was vehemently against - Super League. So far the criticisms directed at the bunker seem to be more about the rules (eg. obstruction), the referees being afraid to use the sin bin or the incorrect footage we're shown. 9 did a poor job the other night, but so has Fox. In fact, Fox has been so bad at times they haven't even shown the correct play. I've seen games where they've shown an irrelevant play in the tackle, so obviously the tech is confusing the producers.
