Is it just me being paranoid or does it seem like most of the tries we seem to score on SKY games against the 'bigger' teams seem to go to the VR ?.

all 3 of Jerry's did if i remember on Friday as well as Brett's. We just seem to have a hell of a lot of tries go to the screen when identical ones in the same games are given to the opposition, i'm not complaining as most of the time the decision is correct and goes in our favour but it's almost as if they go to the screen to find something wrong some of the time !

Like i said it could just be me.....

Nope!!

A teeny bit biased fella you may be --but dont think youre imagining it!!


Still --we won YEAH!!!

As the saying goes "just because I am paranoid it does not mean the are'nt out to get me".

My dad says the same.

2 of Jerry's did the other (the walk in) did not.

I don't mind if they get the decision right.

just make a decision!!! or if going to the screen, one look then a decision, annoys me when it takes so long and replayed 10 times

its because they are looking for reasons not to give a try as its most cases with the VR.
makes you wonder how any tries were given before the video ref.

I think the Aussie way is better where the Ref signals 'a try' or 'no try', then leaves it to the VR to prove him wrong, removing the 'Benefit of the doubt' from the equation.
It seems to work well for them, the VR having to prove one decision rather than prove one and disprove the other.

True - the ref should be made to do what he's paid for, make a decision. It's too easy to go straight to the VR. Some of the tries that go to VR are so obviously tries it's ridiculous.

the NZ ref in the world cup was good he was video ref and looked maybe once or twice and gave a decision no messing about

It's because Ganson needs to check he's tracking the right player

Agree 100% even the RU version is far better than the way it is done in SL. As with putting players on report it is a cop out and they would have to make a call in a non TV game so make one and if the video ref sees it differently so be it, might maks the ref make a better decision the next time around.

the refs still put players on report even when not on tv?

Yes, because every match is filmed and then reviewed at Red Hall the following Monday.

Think they were too busy reviewing the latest episodes of Corrie and Emerdale on video yesterday, hence after all that excitement didn't have time to view the the Bowen high shot properly due to the pub landlord turning the video off before the incident occured as it was closing time.
The idiots on the review panel at Red Hall are a complete joke.
