Stop the I've got a try or no try just hand it upstairs to the vid ref and let him do his job and decide.

I think maybe the job of the ref & video ref would be helped if a different coloured ball was used , a colour that would stand out against the pich & under a pile of bodies.

I don't know how much was made of it in the post match reaction over there, but I must admit Melbourne were robbed of a try this morning because it was sent up as no try, but for me there really was enough evidence with that one to overturn it, because it clearly looked down. Surely that would have been given if it was just referred with no on field decision.

It also highlights that the Aussie officials can be just as incompetent as ours, because there's no higher level than the NRL Grand Final, and that was a massive and highly costly mistake for me.

Ashley Klein the Aussie official involved refed over here for several season earlier in his career.

Their officials are tied down with the same silly rule as ours are, where they are instructed to guess if a try has been scored before asking the Video Ref. to investigate the incident.

Absolutely ridiculous.

Definitely grounded, but for some strange reason didn’t dwell on the footage that showed it,
