Finally game today where the sky/bbc cameras wont be up the backsides of every "obstruction" decision

the ref and touch judges will have to use their BRAINS.

I look forward to the crowd not screaming 'obstruction' any time there is a dummy runner

or FORWARD whenever someone passes the ball (Im looking at you St Helens fans)

Or gerrum onside at every single play the ball.

To be fair last Friday we only had one video ref call off memory and that was the Kirk Dixon knock onto Joe Burgess which was a far enough thing to check in my view. That was a refreshing change.

Funnily enough I'll be there tonight. I'll try not to shout too loud!

Or how much are the Meyt and Prater ?

Always had you down as a closet Warriors fan

After all, you're on our board much more than your own

Haha. Simply keeping a friend company who had a free ticket going spare.

Some nice tries from Wigan . The O'Loughlin one that came from the cross field kick to Burgess was excellent and Connor Farrell finished his try really well.

Interesting that this thread was started in relation to video refs and last night two tries were given (1 for each side) that I very much doubt would have been given if it was on SKY.

One of the questions put to the refs on twitter was about a try that wasn't given on Sky and they answered that it probably would have been (incorrectly) given had it not been on TV, so at least they are willing to admit it's an issue.

Stevo on SL Backchat this week seemed to think that from next season there will be a video ref at every game, whether he's in the know or talking out of his backside is anyone's guess, but it's definitely the right move.

Watched the 2 min highlights on Wigan TV and I think the Widnes try was the correct call, at the time I thought he was tackled but Burgess seems to fall over the top of him so he's never actually touched with the ball grounded. Which Wigan try do you think would've been chalked off?

Fair enough re. the Flynn try but at the time I think everyone inside the stadium thought he had been tackled.

Obviously I haven't seen any highlights but at the time I thought Charnley's first try should have been chalked off for a clear obstruction. I think it was Farrell who ran right round the back of someone (possibly Burgess) and took before he broke through. I also think the pass that went from him to Flower and then back again was a bit dodgy too. As I say, I've only seen it once and it had no bearing on the outcome of the game but at the time I thought it was a fortunate one.

On the wider issue I do think it needs to be at every game or none at all. The lack of consistency is so frustrating.

They also need to look at this obstruction "interpretation" and possibly limit what the refs can go to the screen for.

My opinion has always been VR at every game and only used for touch, offisde and grounding. Nice and simple and, more imortantly, consistent.
