Re: Countdown to Game 1- Catalans : Thu Aug 03, 2017 12:09 pm
The vid ref does not work with the camera crews at all, he is asking the producer to give him the angles, he needs to see, he also HAS to see all available camera angles. Why did it look so disjointed? It was BBC who cover how many games a season? Sky are pretty slick now.In our game, the ref checks with his TJ either side before giving the try and yes in SL they are on intercom. My point is, in NRL they wait till they get the nod from the bunker before giving the try, do we want our game to go that way.
The thing to think about, fans are really quick to jump on the back of the ref when they miss something in open play, so in the event of a try if the ref has missed something, why not let the vid ref highlight It? The protocol to check everything was brought in because of several issues where the ref called for VR for one thing, but had missed something else, fans then see that on the over and over replay, refs are in the wrong again.
