Has to be worth a look and see how it goes, in the main it seesm to be working in the NRL. Would need more quality refs though and more money from the RFL.

i think they should be allowed to got the VR for a forward pass. If its conclusive dissalow it. if not or a flat pass or too close to call.... then benefit of the doubt. Some passes are clearly forward!

way too much hassle messing about with tracks for cameras to keep up with speed of play and the cost wouldnt be worth it and sum grounds couldnt accomadate the tracks like wakey

i mean just use what we have now. Sometimes its conclusive, if its not then BOTD

Where are all the refs going to come from?
I don`t think there are enough refs in this country at the top level.
As for forward passes on the VT just impose a parallel line across the picture to show if it`s forward or not,same for onside or offside.

Despite Stevo's nonsensical description of the "momentum rule" it is actually possible for the ball to travel forward and not be a forward pass.

and that imo is why we havent made the change yet. We dont have enough quality refs to handle SL as it is never mind needing twice the number.

No it isn't. Its to do with the direction the hands are facing when the ball is passed.

The angle and height of the camera, and the relative positions of the players and their "momentum" can be so deceiving on tape, that it is impossible to decide conclusively that a pass is forward. Its going to have to be seriously sophisticated technology that the RFL is developing!

It's a situation were the pair of eyes on the pitch is in a better position to judge. Even with all our Specsavers-dodging refs in SL (don't get mad at me Cod'head! Note the winks )

Correct.

i know because i watch the game......how many forwards are given by the touchie? how many try's are disallowed by the touchie or awarded even? not many...
youve only got ato look at when someone makes a break, there nowere in sight which allows players to throw passses forward etc

we have two lines men they dont seem to do anything maybe an extra ref and get rid of the lines men

i think there are lots of variables on the matter of forward passes offsides etc but i still think 2 refs on the pitch would be better than 1....even if they amount to 1 braincell between em.
