The Legend Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 (edited) I'd rather let the referee and the touch judges referee the game, because I thought that was their job. Edited October 17, 2022 by The Legend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do we know they don't like it? Because if I were a ref I'd appreciate the chance to tell players to challenge or button it when they are disputing a decision. 6 I can confirm 30+ less sales for Scotland vs Italy at Workington, after this afternoons test purchase for the Tonga match, £7.50 is extremely reasonable, however a £2.50 'delivery' fee for a walk in purchase is beyond taking the mickey, good luck with that, it's cheaper on the telly.

I'd like to see them ask the official to look for a forward pass in the build-up. My guess is you'd still have your challenges intact at the end of the game...

FearTheVee Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 Strangely I quite like it but maybe that’s just the oddity of it just now. I have found the use of it utterly baffling though, burning it in completely meaningless situations. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marklaspalmas Posted October 17, 2022 Author Share Posted October 17, 2022 76th minute of France v Greece , its 34-6 but we've still got a challenge left so we're all standing around for no apparent reason........ 2 https://www.fevarchive.co.uk/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yipyee Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 Maybe if there was a penalty for getting a challenge wrong it would only be used for obvious howlers, maybe loose an interchange for an unsuccessful challenge? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a 'penalty', you lose your challenge. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave T Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 I don't mind it, I think the big problem is nothing is slick when it comes to the VR. It's really breaking the flow of the game, and this is just another example of it. Speed it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a major Final 5 min to go with nothing between the teams the ball comes out.Ref blows for loose carry.The ball comes out with the help of a defenders hand on it.You would want the challenge then if your team was a couple of points behind.A close up may rule a loose carry but at least it would be correct. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BadlyOverdrawnBoy Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 In the past NRL season the captain's challenge has been used tactically on a few occasions. It could be an obvious knock on but because the play is reviewed from the last PTB, if the captain thinks there has been, say, an obstruction or a late hit before the knock on they possibly get a penalty.

marklaspalmas Posted October 20, 2022 Author Share Posted October 20, 2022 Rhys Williams last night. We all had to watch it 4 times and still nobody's sure. Leave this with the ref. VR can do the big, try-scoring stuff. CC is a pointless delay and interruption. 1 https://www.fevarchive.co.uk/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Copa Posted October 20, 2022 Share Posted October 20, 2022 It’s been a fantastic addition to the NRL. It’s a safety net to catch ref errors and when used intelligently works quite well. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idrewthehaggis Posted October 20, 2022 Share Posted October 20, 2022 I like it. I would like it even more had we had it at a recent Super League semi final when an obvious penalty try should have been awarded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thehullram Posted October 20, 2022 Share Posted October 20, 2022 As always, two sides to this. I get the reason why, the absolute howler that gets missed and could massively affect the result. Too often though the decision isn't black and white, is it a loose carry, or is it a strip? Two players go up for a high ball, who touched it first, did it go forward etc...... It needs to be faster, slicker and the crowd at the game need to know what is going on (at Newcastle last week very few did). Why can't we have the referee's conversation put over the loud speakers when this is happening? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marklaspalmas Posted October 25, 2022 Author Share Posted October 25, 2022 Challenge strikes again. six muntes left, 20 points difference, let's stand around and see if the ref got the right call on some ball strip. Gripping stuff as the fans drift away into the night. https://www.fevarchive.co.uk/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ragingbull Posted October 25, 2022 Share Posted October 25, 2022 It works much better Down Under as the TV match director obviously understands the sport. Unfortunately, as has been strongly evidenced though out this tournament, the TV match directors have never seen a game before in their life and have zero concept of what the VR is looking for hence they have no idea what camera angle to show them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ivans82 Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 I take it you can`t use it for forward passes leading to tries as there have been a few this tournament . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not always true - Tonga's first (if I recall correctly) v PNG pretty blatant, for example. The problem is actually that there are so many, allowing captain's challenge on it would stretch the game out for hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
