This is a long thread, and not the first one, which is primarily about refs and their decisions. The aim of clubs and the RFL is to "engage" with fans. (The IMG even includes online or social media engagement as one of its criteria.)
Therefore the people arguing against too many replays and overuse of the video ref are inadvertently helping to persuade the powers that be to keep doing what they do, or even give us more.

Bring the corner flags back into play, was far more excitingMike wrote: ↑Thu May 01, 2025 2:51 pmI know and someone "old school" just suggested bringing back the in goal judges. I don't think I ever saw them help the ref with any try decision in the entire time they were in use.josie andrews wrote: ↑Thu May 01, 2025 7:14 amCharriots Offiah wrote: ↑Thu May 01, 2025 12:34 am

That's a fair enough point, morley. I'm not sure how big a factor it is, but it's certainly something to consider.morley pie eater wrote: ↑Thu May 01, 2025 5:20 pmI wasn't saying that the RFL were deliberately doing anything, but rather than, if "engagement" is one of their primary aims, then us lot arguing about refs and VRs is not something they would want to stop.DaveO wrote: ↑Mon Apr 28, 2025 10:48 pmYou are not being serious you?

Bit over the top that mike, but what about some sort of sensor built into the ball with 2 field long sensors detecting forward passes, Leeds and Saints would never win a game with this system
