Out with the second on-field referee. Out with the video referees. Out with slow motion replays.
Rugby league needs to go back to the future and let one referee take control of matches again, assisted by real speed replays on the big screen when he desires. The result would be more fan satisfaction.
With the direction the game is taking it would be no surprise if the public gets to rule on decisions during matches via text message voting. As you can probably tell, I believe the game is being run by loopies - it is time for those who really understand rugby league to take back control.
The game needs to flow more. The argument is we need to make decisions completely accurate but I think those decisions need to be made at the same speed in which the fans see the game. Slow motion replays are a distortion. And we need quicker decisions.
We don't live in a world of precision, we live in a world of adapting to what happens on a daily basis. We're getting a game that is over 100 years old yet we are allowing it to be ruled by kids' technology.
