Replace the Video Ref with a random number generator - 1 or 2 (Try or No Try). It will get more decisions right and avoid further embarrassment to the sport.

Decision given because of the stupid new rule?

Whatever the reasoning, its a laughable decision.

Good try by Vaea, but Catalans have the right to feel badly done to. I hope that's the last of the dodgy decisions tonight.

Is challenging for a kick the new obstruction.

The refs have found another rule interpretation they can stupify all and sundry with

can see the new rule over try/no try call from the ref to the video ref being the new cop out replacing the on report!

Well at least the terrible video ref decisions have evened themselves up. I said I could see the thinking behind the first one, not that one though.

I really don't like the ref's call concept. I think it puts pressure on the video ref's to find ways of confirming the on-field decision, rather than just assessing whether a try was scored.

I posted in the other thread, it should've been a try. But even if not in that situation it would have to be catalan ball if he hadn't grounded it correctly. Goal line drop out made literally no sense.

Nah the goal line drop out part was fine. Escare knocked on first.

This. Escare knocked the ball onto the Saints player.

Saints seem to be getting away with a lot of niggling in the tackle

This is hilarious.

finally bentham found his balls, sorry card!

Saints are dumb.they can blame the ref all they like but they were all penalties

Well done to Bentham!
Utter stupidity from Saints. The offsides were ridiculous.
