I'm with ya
@Woodsie ( although I didn't watch the live stream ).
On one hand we have the broadcaster taking us closer than ever before and we want to get decisions right but ffs once it's done move on, they just perpetuate the mistake.
On the other we have the spectators at the game that are probably the best judges of whether the winger grounded the ball or not and if it's right or wrong we wouldn't know unless they replay it over and over again.
The bunker has it's place but to me, if they have to slow something down to a poofteenth of a second to determine a try then it's a try but what about the butterfly effect of the previous plays.
They outsmart themselves and as Wayne Bennett once said something along the lines of "the game ain't perfect, so stop looking for perfection"
Look at cricket, if the umpire sends it upstairs for LBW, it's a computer that doesn't take into consideration whether they're playing at the WACA with a new ball or Mumbai after 65 overs, there is no consideration for how much bounce there is.
Soccer is the same with the VAR, they'll pull up an offside for a toenail - to the point that the touchies don't put the flag up -but ignore the fact that a player takes a free kick or threw the ball in in five metres in front of where it should be.
Interesting with the AO tennis with no challenges, it's a quick look at the replay, a shrug of the shoulders and maybe a dirty look - but play on. The players and commentators, off we go.
I could go on...
