Message: [QUOTE="john1420, post: 2477462, member: 2077"] OK then, so just to be clear I am not obsessing over whether or not the Broncos should have been awarded that try on that night The result was not effected so I am happy to let it go What I'm banging on about is the bigger picture of the process and the supposed change If the video ref can over-rule the on field ref when he chooses to do so, it hasn't changed from last year The BOTD ruling has gone, sure, I get that bit is different But last year the field ref said "I don't know, what do you think?" Now he has been told to make a decision first, and then ask the video ref to check That is a difference and must be for a reason The video refs mindset was "Let me see if this a try" but now it is supposed to be "Let me see if there is anything that I can see that the ref did not" And I know you guys will say "Yeah, the video ref saw that McC was short" but the field ref was right there - no way the video ref can think he has a better view of it to make a better call The BOTD ruling going is great, very happy, but this rule that the ref makes a call and the video checks it I just don't see being any different to 2012 in practice [/QUOTE]
