The reality is the game is so heavily scrutinised today with TV and social media that every little decision is being scrutinised. Are here arguing over to notewriter decisions which were the correct decisions but people are being a little emotional. So after last nights frenetic pace and high-scoring game what decisions do you see that were blatantly wrong ?? I saw a forward pass by more Queensland and eight Sonny Bill Williams Drop ball and some other decisions. My input into the discussion is to have a referee in a box speaking life to the on field referees all of the time. I would introduce the two challenges per half rule and produce video referees input. In this way the captain makes a decision on what he thinks is wrong during a game. If a referee makes a mistake and the captain does not pick it up the blame will be laid on the player and it will take pressure off the referee who is under enormous scrutiny. If we had the captains challenge we would the criticising the players and not the referees as much.

Well said Froggy you are spot on. And more technology is the only way to improve it but it will slow the game down to nfl we don't want. The captains challenge is the only way to reduce technology during a game but to put the onus on the players to call bad decisions.
