Yep agree with that. It seems a bit silly to rely so much on the opinion of the ref who, by definition of sending it to the VR, isn't sure of what happened.
The only time I'd take his initial decision into account is in those situations where the VR can't really see whether the ball gets down or not, like when there's tacklers around the ball. If the VR can't see then I don't mind taking the on-field ref's initial decision into account, but when the VR has a good view of the incident it's just silly to take account of the on-field ref's opinion either way.

If the on-field ref had sent up the Murdoch-Masila one as a try then it would have been given. Which is a daft system.

Agree with the first part. There have been some terrible decisions made this year. And I find them inexcusable. I might mutter at the actual game but afterwards I generally accept that an on-field ref gets 1 look and has to make an instantaneous decision and make hundreds, if not thousands, of decisions a game and so is going to get some wrong. A video ref should never get it wrong.
Also agree that on-field ref's rely on them too much. Which wouldn't be too much of a problem if the VR system was working well but it's not.

I think the Video Ref can be a useful tool, sadly at the moment it just seems to be run by useless ones.

Stop making up things , you don't know for certain , you really have an issue with Leigh it seems , whats up are you Sid Hynes lad or something ?

Someone saying he thought the VR got a decision wrong is arrogance???

Do you even know what you're saying? Wouldn't arrogance be that you're on here today bragging about your win yesterday whereas if you lost you'd be nowhere to be seen on here?

And some of the more idiotic on the Salford board say I have a problem with Salford
What on earth are you on about Starbug? Put the bottle down fella, you're making a fool of yourself.

' Bragging ' ? , YOU brought up the subject of Leigh's win , so sorry I didn't realise we're not allowed to comment on YOUR opinions of a match involving our team , and not yours

That's arrogance my friend , the insinuance was we'd only won because of a VR s wrong decision , well if you're all so bloody clever , go and be referees , let's face it , you're all experts at forwards passes being Leeds fans

All the best

No it wasn't you dozy pillock. It was in reply to AG's post that the VR had got all the decisions correct when I don't think he did.

Fortunately there was a sensible Leigh fan who replied in a normal fashion and so we got in to a discussion about the video ref.

Whereas you, atomic and Budgiezilla just proved what idiots you are. Fortunately you don't represent most Leigh fans.

To iggy and the sensible Leigh fans - good luck in the Middle 8's except against us.

To the idiotic Leigh fans - sod off.

To be fair to Leigh they played some great stuff yesterday and deserved their win. On top of that it was exactly what the middle 8s needed.

Squeaky bum time now for a few SL teams and that makes it interesting.

Salford v KR next week is a massive game with lots of pressure on it.

I still think Leigh have to beat 1 more SL team to finish in the top 3 but i think they are more than capable of giving KR a hell of a game at the very least.

Leigh have spent big and deserve a Super League spot in my opinion. They are far too good for the Championship.

All you had to say was you thought it wasn't a try, that's all. Y'know, like a normal human being. But instead you went off into lala-everybody-hates-us-cos-we're-Leigh-land.

It's not hurting me in the slightest, after 12 seasons of winning more than I ever thought I'd see in my lifetime never mind a decade or so, I'm very philosophical about Leeds. As long as we stay up we'll be fine next year.

As I said, the sensible Leigh fans saw the post for what it actually was, a discussion on the video ref.

The idiotic Leigh fans saw what they always see when anyone doesn't immediately heap praise on their club, criticism. Despite there not being any.

So as I said, Starbug, put the bottle down and go to sleep. You're making a fool of yourself.

You are allowed to comment on the Leigh game. However all some of you have done is essentially go "ha ha we won get over it" like children and zero actual proper discussion about the game.

And no one said you only won because of a VR decision at all.

As I said YOU brought the subject up , our friend ' Him ' decided he knows better than everybody else , I just pointed out mr Childs made an identical decision on Liam's Hood no try

No downward pressure in either situation , hence no try , its in the rules

How does a Leeds fan having an opinion on a VR decision turning into another Leigh are bigger than the world slagfest?
What's wrong with some of you Leigh fans? some of them really have got massive chips on their shoulders.
I can't wait til we play them

We have won the CC 13 times mate, and we didn't have to cheat to win any of them, so your not exactly cutting us to the core

Shows the mentality of you lot that you are proud of Alex Murphy faking injury to get a player sent off, and at a time when the majority of footballers wouldn't dream of doing so
