I think you need to face up to the fact that it'll never happen. I've been opposed since day 1 and have lost track of how many times I've heard your point made without any sign that calls have improved in any way.

Scrap the stupid on field try no try concept. If your not sure if it’s a try send it up to the video ref to make his mind up, fgs the concept is absolutely ridiculous and is shown to be time after time!!

Quote: Hasbag "Need to bin off the ref having to make a call on field for me. Reckon that would have been rightly disallowed if the ref didn't send it up as a try. If the ref needs to check then he's not 100% sure, so how can you get him to make a decision on something as important as a try when he isn't sure.
Also cant believe he actually checked the grounding when Swift tried diving for the corner. Embarrassment that neither him or the touchie could 100% say that he dropped it.'"


I dunno bro. We tried that a few years ago and the refs would send every damn call up to the video ref. It got silly!

There is nothing wrong with the ref making the on field call. The problem is that video refs won't overturn the decision when it's blatantly clear the ref got it wrong. This really does need to change!

The VR system was working perfectly well before they brought in this try/no try farce. I didn't understand the logic in making the on field ref essentially guess all the way back when it was first introduced and I still don't understand it now!
If you have a doubt over the validity of a try, why not just send it up and ask the video ref to review it??

I know what you mean. There were absolutely flaws with the old system. But like you say it needs to change and other than scrapping it completely then I dont know what else can change other than going back to simply sending it upstairs to be checked. Definitely needs to be looked at in some way though.

There was sufficient evidence for Child to disallow that try, as far as I'm concerned and it seems most people watching agree. It was clear as day that the ball came away from his control.

He'll get double helpings of pie and peas tonight in the hospitality suite.

James Child... you are one bent c""t. You spineless little tw*t. Forget some of the daft calls we made in that last 10 minutes it's your ineptitude/cheating that robbed Salford of a win. When Saints stewards are apologising to you then you know something's wrong.
Absolutely fuming.

Personally think the simple way to improve video ref decisions is to stop them slowing it down frame by frame. You can see whatever you want to see in RL going literally frame by frame to fit in the with whatever the narrative the ref sends up with try/no try.

time to bin off the try/no try lottery, let the VR make the decision if the on field ref can't! how many times does the ref just guess?

I think we realised you weren’t happy without the last sentence.

Considering the match was at St.Helens, the cynic in me asks was Ganson in the VR booth with Child icon_confused.gif

Bentley quite clearly 'lost control' of the ball. Bizarre decision, and that's me being kind to Childs.

The fans, the members, the people there.. from the day I stepped foot onto that field at the AJ Bell Stadium,I knew I would love that club for the rest of my life. "Jackson Hastings".. Worry a little bit every day and in a lifetime you will lose a couple of years. If something is wrong, fix it if you can. But train yourself not to worry. Worry never fixes anything.

So proud of our boys again tonight, forget the knock on try, Child was never going to overturn that, you only have to look at the "play on" decision 5th tackle, when the Saints player took Joey Lussicks head off with the same video ref "seeing" nothing wrong with it.

We tried this remember- all that happened was the refs failed to make any decisions and sent everything up to the VR resulting in 2 hour long games!
