Quote: Rogues Gallery "On the two refs business, where are they going to come from, we're struggling to get decent ones at the top level now.'"


Why do they need to be top level?

If you have two refs then it reduces the burden on each. They are looking for specifics for their role, and that makes the job much easier, rathern than one person having to watch everything.

Two refs is an absolute non argument, it is a no brainer that the game would be far better for having this in place.

Isn't the NRL supposed to be the best? There refs indiviually are no better than ours? how have they made such a success of the two refs?

Quote: Richie "The fact that they're limited to standing on the touchline means they're too far away and often have an obstructed view. Let one on the field of play....and there's your second ref.'"


I think you've just hit the nail on the head. If the touch judge has an opstructed view of the defensive line at the PTB, they're offside!

Touch judge's officiating offside makes sense to me. Leaves the ref to watch the PTB.

Quote: Swarcliffe Rhino "Correct and an interesting, pertinent point.'"


Is it correct though?

Just because the Australians do it first does not mean we are just copying. Perhaps it is the right thing to do and we should have done it ourselves first.

Look at RU copying League on lots of things these last few years, have those choices been wrong?

Who's offside? The player getting back into position who isn't interfering with play? The player in the middle of the field, 30 metres from the touchjudge? Let them onto the field, and they'll see a lot better.

"As you travel through life don't sweat the petty things and don't pet the sweaty things" - George Carlin [url:2cg5oc2o]http://twitter.com/AndyGilder[/url:2cg5oc2o] [url:2cg5oc2o]http://fromthewesternterrace.blogspot.co.uk[/url:2cg5oc2o] This week: Four keys to a Rhinos win in the WCC:Transparent Backgrounds/Waldorf.gif



With the communication systems between referee and touch judge they have in place, the TJs are effectively policing offside anyway- listen closely to the ref's microphone on televised games and you'll hear them telling players that the TJ keeps picking them out for offside so to make more of an effort getting back.

Personally I'm in favour of only having one person making decisions out on the field however. Getting more people involved in the decision making process can add to inconsistency and confusion rather than provide clarity - see the final play of the playoff game away to Wigan last season as a perfect example of TJ, referee and video ref working in anything but perfect harmony.

I agree with Gotcha and Richie. This is worrying.
