Message: [QUOTE="john1420, post: 2477214, member: 2077"] Sorry AP, but I can't buy what you're selling here 2 reasons; 1 - if it's only different when benefit of the doubt would have come in to play, then the only alteration needed to be the removal of the benefit of the doubt guideline/rule. But that is not what has happened. Not only has the BOTD been removed, but also the guideline that the ref must make a call and the video ref checks to make sure the there was nothing terrible missed. He is not there to put his opinion on it, he is there to override an obvious error 2 - it IS about correcting howlers; anderson said that [url]http://www.news.com.au/sport/nrl/nrl-ref-boss-daniel-anderson-pledges-to-end-howlers/story-fndujljl-1226516950092[/url] Anderson's appointment as elite performance manager is also a strong one, and one of his first moves will be to ensure the series of "howlers and clangers" that besmirched this season never happen again. Atop that list are the obstruction rule and some of the mystifying decisions from the video referee's box, with Anderson suggesting the benefit of the doubt rule that favours attacking teams could be scrapped. "The howlers, the clangers, came from the video refs and the adjudication of tries," he said. "Maybe that was a result of the policy. It skewed so far that people who watched the game, commonsense-wise, would say, 'I don't know how they got to that decision'. Maybe that wasn't a result of the person, but the rules." [/QUOTE]
