I like it

So, this is a huge bug bear of mine who long games are taking at the moment.....here are some suggestions.

1. Goal Line Drop Outs

If a player goes down injured at a goal line drop out [iin the field of play[/i to delay the restart then they must be replaced at the cost of an interchange. If they subsequently get up and into the defensive line they should be sin binned for 10 minutes for conning everyone. If they are in the in goal, then play would continue as normal. I'm aware of the impact of head injuries in all this and they would be covered by the current protocol (obviously if the doctor is on the field, play has to stop anyway)

2. Goal kicking after a try

If said goal kicker does not have the ball on the tee ready to kick within a minute of the try being scored then they should be sin binned. Yes Marc Sneyd, I'm aiming this directly at you!

3. Video referee

Scrap it. At the end of the day, the on field official has to make a decision anyway. Stick with your decision. If it's wrong, it's wrong. Referee's are human, they make mistakes. So do players, there were 18 errors last night.

Oh, I forgot to mention.

4. Half time

12 minutes maximum - no more.

Just finished editing last night's game and no surprise that yet again the first half timed at 51:40 (from Sky focussing on Child to start of ads break) second half 51:28 (from kick-off to just after Watkins miss at goal)

As Leeds are literally always on the box at present to illustrate -

Hull 51:40 and 51:28
St Helens 49:54 and 48:00
Wakefield 50:49 and 52:09
Wigan 51:19 and 48:28
Hull (CC-BBC) 51:55 and 51:04
Wigan 48:50 and 46:31

Actually kicking off at 8pm would be a chuffing start!

I think we actually did kick off on time last night for a change.

The game finished at 10pm even with the game starting at 8.01pm!

It is the downside of video refs. I would rather have one than not. However, I do feel that is a decision cannot be made within 3 attempts of looking at it then the ref's decision should stand. Problem is there are more angles than ever to watch the incident from than ever and that will add yet more time/complexity to the decision making.

The video ref decisions in the NRL are now made very quick. The 4th and 5th replay is going to look rather similar to the 1st and 2nd, make a decision.

Refs and video refs also face less criticism and scrutiny from both the media and supporters, maybe there is a link.

well in the spare time get your husband to shave.he looks like an extra from planet of the apes
