    Default Video refs - most stupid decision

    Daft. No try from Manfedi. Stupid system that brings the game into disrepute.

    PS For the sake of clarity, Manfredi was awarded a try when it was clear that he hadn't touched the ball. The cheating bar steward must have known that he had only touched the ground but he was claiming it.

    Totally agree a blind man could see he missed the ball whats the point in video refs if we still get the wrong decision .

    Clearly missed the ball, but because 'he may have got a finger on it' he couldn't over rule it!!!!!! Stupid video ref rule!

    You beat me to it! The video ref can't see manfredi's hand on the ball yet still a try is awarded. This makes RL look stupid.

    They need to go back to is it or isn't it a try. Not finding compelling evidence to overule on field refs decision.
    Season ticket renewed, fifth year at Saints 2017. Beer at The George time.

    If we can't get the right call from the video ref then it's time to stop using it. The system needs changing, as Jonathon Davies said just ask try yes or no.

    They should use the Rugby Union system where they ask either "Try, yes or no?" Or "Is there any reason why I cannot allow this try?"

    As a Wigan fan even I would say that wasn't a try. The rules on video refs at the moment are ridiculous. If the ref can't give a definitive decision on field it should then solely be the decision of the video ref. Campbell had a shocking game; penalty against Manfredi for a high tackle on Dorn when injuries were caused to both players by a clash of heads, both Cas tries off forward passes. In the second half Wigan were attacking 5 yards from the sticks and Tautai threw a pass that was two yards forward right in front of the ref and he did nothing about it. Truely awful reffing!
