Doesn't feel right when a right decision isn't arrived at within a game. Player being on the pitch can change the game, but what if the player scores or makes try-saving tackle while awaiting a review?

The review comes while he is in the sin bin.

Lucky but I'll take it!

Video ref has 8 minutes to make a decision and communicate it to the on field ref.

14 v 6, Hall try

Doh!

[MZH]

That is probably that tbh. Can't see a way back for Leeds.

[Wollo Wollo Wayoo]

Game over and no others available to switch to tonight 

[tiffers]

KR definitely needed to make that count as they've had so much pressure in the last 15mins or so of the game.

 

[Padge]

Hull KR playing like they are 8 behind with 10 to go.

In among all these clampdowns i wish they would clampdown on players patting opponents on the head after a mistake

They did, but like all clampdowns it had a limited life.

[tiffers]

Massive let off for Leeds there. For the 20 - 25 mins of pressure KR have had. They have only scored 8

The replays here make it look worse. All the pundits believe red. 

It's that red, it is scarlet. Can't understand that call, but if it doesn't end in a ban, that's all last week's work blown out of the water for the panel.

[tiffers]

What a try!

[Padge]

Craking try, if given, should be.

[wakeyranger]

Cracking try that.

[Coggo]

Absolutely brilliant

[Dave T]

Lovely stuff that

[DavidM]

I wish they would just give it

Waste of time this, it obviously wasn’t offside, just get on with it. 

[Dave T]

Sky really need to work on this video ref coverage. Looks amateur

I don't normally grumble about the VR, but we know he dove to place the ball down, did we really need to watch the whole replay after we'd seen he was onside in a split second? Seems ott.

I wonder if they think it makes it more dramatic for the TV viewer, whereas it’s frustrating to watch sat at home and even worse in the stadium.

The ref was a way off, he would have looked a fool if the grounding wasn't checked and a later replay showed, has has actually happened he lost control just before grounding.

I think they just check grounding as standard.
