No idea this mob in charge. 20k for walking out, Sticky should have just stayed and let fly. When these referees all get on the same page then we might not all complain and whinge. Coaches are frustrated, players are frustrated and fans are frustrated. What a disgrace the NRL have become.
How about this?
Fining referees and video referees for bringing the game into disrepute with their inept and inconsistent decision making?
Then the NRL Administration can fine themselves for bringing the game into disrepute by presiding over and glossing over said ineptitude.
What to do with all the money they would accumulate (massive $$$) ???

Their is a constant whinge about overuse of the video referee, the time it takes and momentum loss etc. I agree with but can't understand how they will rule on some things but not everything. Prime example last night where Lyon clearly lost the ball, strip rules and penalty given. Not a game changer but why can't the video referee say to the onfield official reverse your decision!
Anyways this thread has gone way off track. Another thought I had would be a redemption, maybe limited to ten for a complete master set, thoughts?

I have always been in favour of the video referee because we all know the on field referees or touch judges, just cannot be at the exact point or see the exact situation. So the video referee is so important in my opinion at all times(i know it sounds like NFL) but any decision can and is a game changer at any time.
IMO Video ref reviews should be limited to Try's only. Get rid of all the time wasting during a game, if something is missed, tough luck, read about it in Monday's paper. There's no endurance or attrition in the game anymore, everyone is 6ft 4 weighs 120Kg because you only need power not endurance because there are to many breaks in play, reviews, scrums, penalties, injuries, drop outs etc etc it drives me mad at times.

I agree with the fact you present about no endurance, yet they reckon players of these days are fitter which i disagree with, that relates to interchange rules. These days we have some very athletic players that produce phenomal pieces of play that need rewarding when applicable, basically get rid of the interchange so that once you are replaced then that is it. The big players these days produce very little and are so boring. Australia and NSW are a perfect example of this.

You forgot how boring QLD is as well
Also you can reduce the number of interchanges, even make them substitutions, but if you stop the game every 5 minutes for a 2 minute rest it wont have the impact we hope for.
