as far as i know RL was the first to have the video ref, radio contact with the ref, yellow & red cards the spider cam at Old Trafford & refs head cam.There is one piece of technology that i have not seen in Super league that is the digital subs board thats shown by the 4th offical.Tho in the back of my mind i seem to remember seeing it at Saints once for a game but have not seen it at all since.Also would the talking video ref go down well with us fans.I found it quite enlightening.It would stop the comical duo from for ever arguing but would it

The talking video ref is good for TV and at least there is an explanation as to why a try is given or not.
As for technology, I was sat next to Ian Milward at the end of last season at Warrington. He mentioned that the RFL are looking at something to detect forward passes to take the pressure of the referees.

Think cricket used video for decisions first.

Refs head cam is a complete joke!

I think its brilliant.

What a typical Rugby League fan's comment. What exactly is wrong with it?

Talking ref has been on RL on the beeb. I think it was on during the CC too.

I like it, but if it stops needless pontification, then SKY won't roll with it.

Most of our referees are puddings at time, but the cam on them makes them look idiots! I think I may have seen one shot since it was started, the same when they use the camera at big grounds on a wire above the pitch, they use far too many shorts from behind play and being so high it gives little perspective of the real area in front of play! Why typical Rugby League fan, are we not allowed different opinions?

I can take or leave the ref can, it doesn't bother me in the slightest if they keep of get shut.

I agree with the poster, they do look total idiots with the headband on but I like refs to look stupid

I also like it when the ref talks to players and we can see the players reactions and what they say. I thought the lee briers and Tomkins clip of them both talking to the ref was pretty funny ad added to the entertainment.

Briers heckling Tomkins while he was trying to moan at the ref was one of the funniest things I've seen in a while.
I think it adds. It certainly doesn't take away.

Can/do we use the ref cam angle in video ref decisions? I know that seems like a bit of a nonsense....

They do indeed, sometimes provides a brilliant angle. Sort of makes me think how on earth didn't the ref see it in the first place most the time!

I'm a big fan of ref cam, it provides a unique angle that you could never get otherwise and gets you closer to the game. I also think seeing the player/ref interactions is a big positive.

I hate the head cam. The movements when the ref has darting glances in different directions are way too amplified to make enjoyable viewing. I remember watching an Onion game where the ref wore a vest with the camera attached. The viewer saw everything that the ref's chest saw which was much easier to view and gave a far better sense of being on the front line.
