I think this as a great idea, hope the trial goes well.

The least it would do is sharpen up refing, they're not going to want to look fools.

I don't think overturning a decision would make a ref's decision look foolish. It happens in cricket and sometimes even the reversal is wrong.
Yesterday one of the South Africans was given out caught behind of his glove. The appeal gave him out, however it should not have done as his hand was not on the bat at the time.
Whilst I accept this is a radical suggestion, but why not just accept the ref's decision.
It was Dickie Bird who said, "eventually the only thing they will need an umpire for is to hold the bowlers sweater"

'Super League' REF Roby tonight as well.....he was dire.

Yes I was at the game tonight and knew straight away that the ref was in for a bad game when he took our kickoff and put it dead.
He also made many handling errors, dropped at least two high balls failed to follow Karls game plan and didn't put the Leigh player into touch with two minutes to go.

I am far more disapointed with my teams performance tonight than I am with the officials.

I too thought that the ref had an absolute shocker. Was appauled.

Yes, our players made mistakes but I was far more upset with the standard of the ref.

I've just seen that he is a FULL TIME referee!!!!!

My god, with all the training and development that he has access to, I would have expected a much higher standard!

I bow to your wisdom.
Good night.

It just showed a decent super league referee penalised Fax for the way they play like they should be every week. Had Roby reffed in Blackpool would have seen Fax's slow laying on pathetic game plan beaten too. Paul Rowley knows how to beat that clearly (3 times now is no fluke). So looking forward to playing Leigh in grand final after they dispose of Harrisons WWE team in play offs. Ha ha

Decent ref? He's that good that he's no longer required in Super League!

I have long given up on blaming a ref for the result of the game.

When Leigh aren't playing I watch other Championship games.

Try it as a neutral. When you do you will be astonished they aren't as bad as you think they are as you do when watching your own team.

I know what you mean, i found that with most games i've watched since having prem sports.
Although last week watching Keighly v Leigh I found most decisions went Keighlys way. I try to look at our games from both sides and rarely blame ref's, but honestly from where I was sat there were some very obvious knock on's by Leigh that Leigh were rewarded pens for! Something must have gone on your end too as your lot were slating him too at one point. He was poor tonight.
The whole point of this tread to start with was, is the system they're trialing in Aus a good idea? I think it is and also think it would make the game even more entertaining!

Well been a neutral I think Leigh had bad decisions against them and where the better side.Score flattered Fax.
