Canberra Raiders co-captain Josh Hodgson not a fan of new NRL bunker rules
It's what no self-respecting video referral system wants to hear - comparisons with the English Premier League's under-fire VAR. Canberra Raiders co-captain Josh Hodgson isn't a fan of the NRL's new bunker protocols and thinks it ruins the moment - not just for the players, but the fans as well.
"Everyone celebrates and gets excited and then it's a bit of a down moment. At least with the video ref you've got a bit of excitement waiting to see if it will be given or not."

Ryan James happy to be back as leadership shows
Ryan James has taken his first step towards a new normal after two knee reconstructions. It will take about four weeks, but after that the Canberra Raiders prop says he'll have put any hesitancy about his knee behind him.
"Once you get through that initial stage and get through a couple of games under your belt everything just starts to fall back to normal ... but I got through it so I was happy."

Amen Josh.
Re: 2021 Rd 1 V Tigers: Game Day
I agree, I'm mostly OK with all the new rules, and i get what they're trying to go with on this, but it's very unsatisfying sitting there watching the kicker line up to kick and wondering if the try is in question let alone will stand.
Ill probably get used to it, but after the two called back, those tries to CNK and Rapana, it's just sitting there feeling uneasy waiting to see if they let the try stand. Even the Young try, which was as clean as you can get, you're still sort of in a weird spot as a fan not knowing where the officials really stand on it
Id like to encourage the officials make more calls and rely less on VR. The challenge system is still imo best placed to solve the problems
The referee makes his decision and if the team wishes to challenge that decision they can. I would suggest 3 per game, with a 4th being issued if the team correctly challenges the three prior... but i've heard the case put and i cant really argue it that is should be a limit on unsuccessful challenges, as a team should be able to challenge as many times as they like if they're right. So after say 3 incorrect challenges, you're out

Re: 2021 Rd 1 V Tigers: Game Day
The new system is unnecessary really.
What’s wrong with the ref going upstairs and checking for infringements in the lead up to tries before he awards it ?
Nothing..
But hey..it’s another screwing of the rules. it will never end.

Re: 2021 Rd 1 V Tigers: Game Day
Agree with PJ. I just don't understand why the new system is necessary. Before awarding a try, the on-field ref should ask the VR if they have concerns that something leading to the try may have been contentious. If the VR has no concerns then award the try, if they do then go up to the bunker with an on-field decision and let the VR test it.
If we're sticking with this system I'd prefer the on-field ref to be a bit more cautious before awarding a try. If the try comes off the back of a spilt ball, kick or a messy offload then they should get the VR to test it.

Re: 2021 Rd 1 V Tigers: Game Day
The issue I see with the system is the reverse happening, it they're only reviewing everytime the ref blows the try and not when they disallow one, then the refs are just naturally going to be blowing more tries.Seiffert82 wrote: ↑March 15, 2021, 3:17 pm Agree with PJ.

Re: 2021 Rd 1 V Tigers: Game Day
The issue with the old system is they take 8 and a half years to make the decision.
The idea is to review as the kicker is coming back for the clear cut howlers, but a couple needed a few extra looks.
I'd personally rather the VR be scrapped unless it's a captain's challenge

I honestly don't see how the previous system was broken enough to fix it...and this fix seems a bit odd.
Don't get me wrong, the VR got it right both times on the weekend, but I think the reversals could have been avoided.

Re: 2021 Rd 1 V Tigers: Game Day
I certainly think it reduced the excitement for celebrating tries live at the ground yesterday.
Needs a bit of a tweak to get it right.
I’d still be happy for the bunker to overrule when a clear foot into touch or dropped ball happens. But if the refs not sure, he should still send it up for review, not just award it immediately.
It wasn’t until the conversion was taken that I knew it was a try. And that wasn’t very exciting.

Re: 2021 Rd 1 V Tigers: Game Day
The biggest problem I've always had with the VR system is that the video ref overturns the on-field ref's decision on calls that look 50/50. They just shouldn't do that, it should be a "howler", otherwise stick with the on-field call.Seiffert82 wrote: ↑March 15, 2021, 3:34 pmWhich I think might just increase the frustration for the players and fans.The Nickman wrote: ↑March 15, 2021, 3:22 pmThe issue I see with the system is the reverse happening, it they're only reviewing everytime the ref blows the try and not when they disallow one, then the refs are just naturally going to be blowing more tries.Seiffert82 wrote: ↑March 15, 2021, 3:17 pm Agree with PJ.

Fortunately they got them all right on the weekend, but that wasn't due to the new system vs the old, just that there were two howlers overturned and they got them both right.

Re: 2021 Rd 1 V Tigers: Game Day
We all love the fast paced game, the entertainment. But it’s all getting too much. It’s a simple game and I feel for the referees..I do.
All these rule changes are being made to speed up the game, entertain the crowd.
The wingers have become such superior athletes with remarkable try scoring feats the rule committee decided that corner posts were obsolete..

Seeing points being posted then taken off is very dissatisfying.....plus you lose the time on the clock from when the try was awarded up until the ref realises that the bunker wants to change outcome...
Not a fan of it all...sometimes these ideas look good on paper but in practice...rubbish.

Re: 2021 Rd 1 V Tigers: Game Day
The refs are under the pump keeping up with all these changes..year in/year out. They’re content with getting through 80mims without controversy..job done.
The refereeing has been bog for ages no doubt about it.
But imo the powers that be ain’t helping.
I’m old school..one ref, no video, cop the decision and play on. Of course we aren’t going back to that, there’s been way too much coin invested to just throw it all away..
I miss the 80s/90s version.
I love the game, it’s been in my blood for 50yrs. It’s getting difficult to keep up.

Re: 2021 Rd 1 V Tigers: Game Day
I'm going to try and delay my ref outrage for, hmmm, ever, this season.
Goes nowhere and it's just a detriment to enjoyment of the game to me.
Rule change speculation, I'm A OK with. But I do wish they'd just stop fluffing around with it. It's made the Big Bash an embarrassment.
1 rule wind-back (removing a previous stupid rule) + 1 new alteration at most each season. That way they can't add any more silly changes without removing some of their current shennanigans (20:40 and 2pt FG I'm looking at you hardest but there's plenty more to be culled).

Re: 2021 Rd 1 V Tigers: Game Day
I don't think it reduced the celebration, not initially anyway. Maybe after two tries were awarded and then disallowed. The worst thing was the hollow feeling left after seeing those two "tries" - both of them were great, everyone was excited - only for the moment to be ripped away. Sure they were correct calls yesterday, but the old system built anticipation at least. This system just leaves you in the uncertain position of never knowing that the decision to award a try is going to be overturned - and for a bigger disappointment if an awarded try is overturned.BJ wrote: ↑March 15, 2021, 3:42 pm I certainly think it reduced the excitement for celebrating tries live at the ground yesterday.

Re: 2021 Rd 1 V Tigers: Game Day
I don't even think it saves that much time, TBH. The George Williams try, which eventually ended up being pulled back for the Sutton penalty - he blew it, George was halfway set up for the kick, and then he blew it to go upstairs, and then it was reviewed, and then it was no try. It really felt like it took longer than if he'd just sent it up to begin with.

Re: 2021 Rd 1 V Tigers: Game Day
But previously some referees were sending everything up to the VR and it was ridiculous. This way they still check every try scoring situation and if it is all good, play on, if it requires further consideration the goal kicker is told to wait a minute. I prefer it this way.

Yeah, probably work better. Whatever the situation we still need competent people in the Bunker. Some decisions over the weekend don't fill me with confidence on that part.

The problem I have with this new procedure is the one mentioned on NRL 360. The fans see the points go up on the board... the Viking horn sounds... everyone feels great. And then... the fans feel a sense of loss that you wouldn't feel under the old system. Is the NRL trying to make the fans feel good or disheartened about their game experience? Everyone I sat with yesterday simply hated this new procedure, and looking at other social media, there's a lot of people in that camp all talking about it.

**** WOT?
They didnt think of how the rule would impact the actual time on the clock?
Jesus.
Wild stuff. I think V'Landys is mostly doing a good job but a constant and fair criticism is the game is jumping around a lot and not really pressure testing these ideas to the level required.
Re: 2021 Rd 1 V Tigers: Game Day

Simple fix, call time off as soon as the try is scored. I don't know why it's only in the last 5 mins that time on the clock is so important to call time off

Re: 2021 Rd 1 V Tigers: Game Day
I have been a big fan of Vlandys impact so far on the game as a whole. But yeah, if he has an area to work on, it's these half baked ideas like this new VAR system, 2 pt field goals& 20:40s. They are literally not thought through, let alone trialled at lower grades etc for feedback.Botman wrote: ↑March 15, 2021, 8:13 pm

You can put 6 again for most infringements in the same category of rushed through. Some of these ideas turn out to be winners but everything is rammed through without full consideration or due process. These things really should be trialled in a NSW or Qld cup or SG Ball or something for a season, the effect observed, then assessed. He should dial back the tinkering next season.
They have enough lower grade games at telecast venues to try things like the video ref variations out of the NRL spotlight.
At the end of the day, the NRL is a good game. Pissfarting around constantly with the product won't take it to the next level. It's fluff really. Major things like broadcast, expansion, player protection, transfers, COVID, growing the game in NZ/Pacific or other markets, the rep calendar, international footy, grassroots participation/penetration vs AFL...
I'd rather see all those on the agenda before even wondering if suddenly making a FG worth 2 pts, or kicking an obscure distance or if the 5th iteration of the video ref system will magically create the one that no one argues about (haha). Don't major in the minors Peter, it's not your style and honestly a waste of his impressive talents at getting the real stuff done.
Re: 2021 Rd 1 V Tigers: Game Day
I'm pretty sure the set restart for a ruck infringement was trialled before, maybe in an all stars game?
I don't have any issue with it, it gets rid of those four boring defensive grind games where there's 47 penalties and 37 warnings about a sin bin. The restart for offside sucks though, especially when you're coming off your own line

Re: 2021 Rd 1 V Tigers: Game Day
Yep. I remember watching Annesley's media conferences a year or two back and he was claiming the ball being in play longer as some sort of massive achievement. I just thought at the time, why do they just let teams wind down the clock if the ball being in play longer is so important? I find it pretty annoying watching players looking at the clock before a drop out or feeding a scrum.-TW- wrote:That's a fail

To some extent the 6 again rule has taken a bucket load of pressure off the refs. Nobody is scrutinising those decisions because there is no time to do so.
I like the assumption that the on-field ref should have the defining say on whether a try is scored. The VR shouldn't overrule the ref if the call is 50/50. At the end of the day, whatever problems we had seemed to be with the people rather than the system - to that extent, changing the system has just made it worse IMO.
