Quote: Trainman "We have to have a system and whatever the system is there will be controversy.
For me, if the refs not sure sent it to the VR. Ref to indicate his thoughts of try or no try. Give the VR a set amount of time eg 2 mins to make a decision of most probable outcome, if the VR can’t decide on the balance of probability then go with the refs call.'"
Isn't that what basically happens now, we just have the on-field ref giving his opinion before he asks the VR to review it.
I don't mind the current system even though it may at times cause some discussions, the on-field ref has to be the one in charge of the game and has to give his opinion on what he thought, if there was no VR he would have just awarded the try in the first instance, but we have the technology now to 'check' if he is right or not and in the absence of clear evidence then the on-field decision shuld stand
