True. The writing on the ball is irrelevant.

I have just watched the game back and yes I am a warrington fan.

Now don't get me wrong, at no point on the video replays do I see the ball touch the line, however while going through the replays the commentators stated that Thaler said the ball ended up on the line.

Now they also said and I agree, there was no evidence to suggest a try and also no evidence to suggest a double movement. Taking this into account if it isn't a double movement and the referee says it's ended up on the line then maybe this gives some clarification as to the decision?

DON'T DIE WITH THE MUSIC IN YOU

Re: Video referee decision : Mon Sep 01, 2014 10:11 pm  
Now on reflection and after getting over the initial disbelief that the Harrison try was given a few things still bother me about the game:

VR decisions are far too frequent and take far too long. Originally introduced to clarify try / no try issues they are now used whenever the Ref is apparently not 100% - despite often being the closest to the action and having a linesman and in goal touch judge to call upon for verification.

I appreciate that the game is now very fast but you could apply that argument to all other decisions that are made in open play. The ref often has to use discretion for other decisions such as knock on vs. ball stripped issues so I would rather see the refs also decide on tries - unless there is clear doubt in his mind - sometimes tries may be incorrectly awarded as a result but that I could except as honest mistakes when they happened. VR has it's place but must be limited - no system is fool proof and no decisions will be right 100% of the time.

We now see Refs refer decisions such as re-starts to the VR - just get the decision made between the 5 on field judges and get on with it!

Also what is going on with conversions - we need to extend the game duration or decide that the clock stops immediately a try is scored. I am fed up with watching the kicker take a long drink, pull his socks up, adjust his under garments, and then call for the kicking tee. Several ball placements later and a good old hokey cokey dance around you get to see him kick for goal. In between all this the Ref tries to start a Mexican wave by raising both arms in the air only for this to be totally ignored by the crowd as most have retired for a cup of tea by then.

Same as for in goal drop outs - these really are quite theatrical - the defending team suddenly all become blind as to where the ball is - mill around apparently trying to decide where it is - then who should be the one to actually kick it (as if they don't know) - then make several unsuccessful attempts to get the ball to that player - then the kicker eventually ambles under the posts to kick off. Same could be said for kick offs just with the added joy of the additional wait while the kicking tee is located.

All of the above is destroying the game and spectacle - bad enough at the game - but even more tedious when you see it on TV - any new viewer must get bored very quickly - or otherwise have a warped view of the apparent slowness of the game. We sometimes make American Football look quicker - at least they openly change their defensive/attacking/kicking teams!

Or perhaps I am getting old and inpatient - probably!

Somewhere in the dust of time rest the bones of the Galilean
He who was spat upon. He whose face was marred beyond all human likeness
Somewhere buried among the lies of the past rests the tomb of Yeshua
Of he who was made God in a world without Hope.
And when this son of Joseph is found. What then will the Church of Rome say?
Prepare yourself for the day is coming. And men will say
"Blessed are the wasted lives who perished in the flames of the holy war"

Re: Video referee decision : Tue Sep 02, 2014 8:50 am  
The VR is nothing to do with making the correct decision and everything to do with creating talking points. If it was the former the VR would be sat in a room in Red Hall with a live satellite feed and would make his decision and transmit it to the referee who would signal try/no try. Instead we have the ridiculous sight of two men trying to manipulate a touchscreen while Stuart Cummings gives his opinion based on whether the editor thinks there needs to be a controversial moment in the game or not.

We are going towards the blurred edges of sport and sport entertainment.

The ref will ask the VR to look at something specific. Did Ben Thaler only ask for clarification of a double movement? If he did then he must have been sure the ball touched the line. It looks like in this case the ref thought the ball touched the line but was unsure about the double movement - once the VR was sure there was no double movement a try was awarded. Even then I believe the VR can overrule the ref and decide 'No Try' if video evidence shows it did not touch the line.
All in all a dog's breakfast and why IMO the VR should only be used when all the officials have had their view of events obstructed. They are closest to the action. Make a decision and get on with the game. If honest mistakes are made then so be it but it would be better than 5 mins of fannying around only to make a decision that is more contentious than it would have been if the ref gave it there and then. As I said before that's 5 mins of lost after match drinking time. Just think of how much drinking time that equates to over a season!

The only plus side I can see is that my liver hasn't suffered as much as it would have without the VR. :wink:

Question to Wire fans, what would your opinion be if the Giants had been awarded that try by the VR?

Of course they're going to say they would be happy with it....it went in their favour and they weren't on the end of it...it was a joke of a decision and every Wire fan i spoke to on the night said they were bloody lucky to get that and weren't expecting it. I doubt any fan of any team would ever be 'happy' to have a decision like that go against them !!

i would be happy we got the decision, happy that we got a point we never looked like getting until the officials decided to change things.
but i would be bloody embarrassed to get a decision like that go in our favour, embarrassed for the game more than for myself
