Quote: Warrior Winger "in the current set up the ref gives that decision before rather than after the VR looks at it so technically it is the same outcome'"
I don't agree.
The current setup means that the VR's decision is not only swayed by the ref (who obviously didn't see it clearly), but that the decision has already been made, barring 100% proof that it was wrong.
This offers zero "benefit of the doubt", but also, the VR is reluctant to overturn the on-field ref's decision without overwhelming evidence (and sometimes, not even then).
I have always been of the opinion that if he didn't see it, he shouldn't offer an opinion on it.
The VR should be the sole arbiter of any "unknown" calls, with benefit of the doubt to the attacking side.
So basically, back to what we had a few years back.
