[QUOTE="Porthoz, post: 2883830, member: 2221"] No, that is just not acceptable. That is the idiocy we have now, which makes people want to throw it all away, and that is where capable professional arbiters come in. Because if you keep the Pattens in the box, then yes, you're right! As to interruptions, I prefer the game being stopped once or twice to ensure the correct decision is taken, than to let it run and have a team lose a game, potentially even a Grand Final, on a ref blunder, because we don't enjoy an occasional stoppage. I can't recall the last time a NFL video decision was argued against since the whole professional refs strike affair, and they have to adjudicate on the smallest of details sometimes. Based on evidence, they just get it right, practically every time, and if there is none, the onfield ruling stands. There is still the occasional miss, but that is where human error comes in, and that IS acceptable. There is no reason the NRL can't have a (smaller of course) corps of referees as capable as the NFL does. But the rules have to be clear, the interpretations and the decisions have to be consistent no matter the score, the clock, or the amount of penalties already given. [/QUOTE]
