That is why we need Videoe Refs... : Sat Feb 28, 2009 10:35 am  

....at every game.

Laat night confirmed for me that without video refs at games, our officials do not get it right,

Which try do you (not) think should have been given?

(I agree with the idea btw just wondering)

I saw a knock on in the build up to KR first try and the second which was a fantastic move and effort looked to be in touich and a double movement.

Crossing wasn't it?

I usually stay away from ref bashing but Smith last night was a joke. Poor 10,missed so much around the PTB it was untrue.


Taking nothing away from KR they did a good job. Briscoe was class and Azuie(sp) was a real handful!

Correct Dave he was bad, and the two players picked out were a handful Aziuze looked to have slimmed right down.

I think it were crossing as you say altho the play was too fast for me to see it properly lol with the dummy runners.

Hull KR as i've said before are my darkhorses for the comp, good backs, to very good second rowers in Newton and Galea who I think are under rated and good half backs.

For what its worth I enjoyed the game more than a 50 nil drubbing to the S

Strange but true.

Video Refs must be brought in to every game and each club should pay for the technology. Possibly the RFL could give an interest free loan to the clubs to purchase it and it is paid off over the 3yr period of the licence, if any club is not given a licence at the end the 3yrs the club coming up purchases that technology off them for the price paid and again the RFL loan the money to that club on a 3yr deal??

The Aussies have done it for years and are still introducing two on pitch refs which show's its still not perfect but it is a step in the right direction!

As for last nights game, only saw one of the tries close up but seemed to be fine from where I was standing! There again I would say that!!!

The first pass from Wheeler (I think) to Armstrong was a mile forward - I would have loved it to stand but have no issues with it being wiped out

Thats the way I saw it too.

Couldn't really understand all the booing of the ref at the end.

The decision on the try was right, and the penalty Graham gave away was right.
He seemed to allow KR to hold down a lot but chances are we were doing the same.

It would have been handy to see a re-run of Fox's try but it looked a fair call.

There may be the chance to see any incidents in the SL Show or on Sky.

With regard to losing asnd enjoying the game , the CC tie between the two sides last season was top draw - though the defeat did take a lot out of Rovers and the form dipped after that.
