| In the NRL the ref has to give his own view, and the video ref can only change it if there's definite evidence that the on-field ref is wrong. IMO its a good balance, as far too often in the past we've had endless reviews of play by VRs, when its clear that no conclusive evidence exists one way or the other. It also means that refs have been calling try/no try in many cases rather than send every decision to the VR 'just in case'.

| Quote JerryChicken="JerryChicken"This must be the 20th season running where I've heard that.
Referring AGAIN to what Barrie McD said yesterday, he said that playing at Leeds is about the whole package, its the most professional setup that he has experienced anywhere in RL and that the only reason he signed for us when he was "sacked" by Wigan is that he loved coming to Leeds as an opposition player because it was patently obvious how professional the whole package deal was, everything from the guy who looks after the kit to the people who make the breakfasts at the training ground etc etc etc, was done with professionalism - the bloke who has the label of "first team coach" is only a small part of the package.'"
Listened to the interview yesterday while working at home, very entertaining. He seems to have enjoyed every minute of playing the game but I suspect if he'd played the game a decade earlier than he did he would have had even more fun.
His comments about the Leeds setup give you confidence that the club is going to be right there at the top for the forseable future. It seems like a great place to work if you bring the right attitude with you.

No worries, I didn't and I trust you understood my reasoning/justification for the Hughes 'no try' decision wasn't entirely a serious comment either.
The ball moved from his outstretched hand to perhaps wrist/lower forearm and Ian Smith appeared to come up with that constituting a knock-on as the re-start IIRC was a scrum ten with Leeds head and feed.
I don't think I agreed with that but what can you do.

| Was the hardaker incident answered in the ask the ref twitter session? It was clearly asked and an obviously controversial decision. If it wasn’t answered could we conclude Mr Ganson doesn’t hold a whole lot of confidence in that decision in the cold light of day?

| It must be great for morale of certain Leeds Rhinos players knowing that the minute you make one mistake your out of the team or given very limited game time, It's amazing how you then see other members in the team that are woefully out of form and guaranteed a shirt.

Sounds the way to go.
It's embarrasing sometimes how often endless replays are made, studied and studied yet again: there should be a time limit at least.....or just toss a bluddy coin. It's often just as much a lottery.

Did you watch the BBC coverage of the Huddersfield/Leeds CC round and view and listen to the video ref on that day and why he asked for so many replays from different angles ?
You should, it might explain something to you.

| I think the question that should be asked, is why was Ganson (whose son is on Saints scholarship) the video ref. There were no other games on Monday.
Personally I think he got the decision right, but that is not the issue.

It also struck me listening to that how little control the VR has over what he's seeing. Half of the pointless angles we have to watch seem to be as a result of miscommunication (or whatever) between the VR and whoever is sending his replays to him.
Would it be that hard to train the Refs to be able to work with the replays themselves to speed things up?
