Todd Greenberg has egg on his face

[Nathan Aboud]

Seriously, some of the decisions from the NRL Bunker over the weekend has made our game's new CEO look like a total idiot...

He said that it will have a 0 failure rate and yet in 1 weekend of the competition the game has commenced to go backwards due to the policies that he set up as Head of Football. The grading system for reportable offence is seriously continuing to be an even bigger joke as that Melbourne Winger only gets 1 week for a trip......

How can the A-League have better video technology than a $2m system that apparently revolutionises technology in modern sport? Also, how can he as CEO come out in public to support Trent Robinson's thoughts on the offside technology proposed so that errors like Saturday Night don't occur again but yet his Referee's Development Manager is still the only idiot besides the ones who made the decision that the No Try call was right!!!!

I think they should only allow 2 video referrals per team upon the Captain's request only for assistance from the NRL Bunker. They can only be for try scoring purposes as if either Captain is not satisfied with the decision then he can use his referral for the Referee to take it up to the Bunker. Just like they do in Tennis with the hawk eye system. It provides a quicker game, less stoppages in momentum, but more importantly makes the referees and touch judges do their dam job!!!!!!

That touch judge on Saturday did not signal nor notify the Referee that Aubusson was offside, neither di d the pocket referee. If he though he was offside why didn't he blow the penalty right there? Instead he waited 10 more seconds of play to continue leaving his hand up signalling it was still the last so Aubusson was tackled with the ball, would he have allowed a turn over to continue instead of blowing a penalty?

See, these are the systems Todd Greenberg put in place and now he has just shown to the public that he is not the right person to run the game.....

The biggest joke was one week for Taupau, That was four to six.

On Aubbo, Archer said that they were right because there was no angle that showed him onside. He had nothing to say about the total failure of their technology. Even a six year old can get a grid up on a screen and the try would have been allowed. Pathetic.

[Nathan Aboud]

What is more pathetic is that the technology used by the A-League to simulate those off side checks and lines is provided by Fox Sports. That technology is near nothing in costs compared to the costs spent in the $2m to operate the Bunker.

That is pathetic

[Waerea-Beast!]

They hide behind the 'system' to justify why the decision is correct. They don't take any responsibility for the broken system they have implemented though.

If an incorrect decision is purely due to their system, then maybe that's the issue. I can't believe how reactionary and stubborn the NRL admin are.

You're dead right. The current system which forces a referee to make a 'guess' on whether or not he thinks it's a try is where the problem lies. It's not the bunker's fault that ref's are forced to take a punt and hope they are right. If the ref doesn't know, he should be able to say, 'listen, I really don't know one way or the other whether that was a try'. That would allow the bunker to analyse the data and make a decision based on probability not one based on the guess of a referee who maye have been 20m away from the incident in question

The bunker is here to stay. There will continue to be far more referrals by onfield refs than necessary as, for one thing, the NRL makes money from KFC every time a decision is displayed - that pathetic "decision pending" message and fake "download bar" that gradually fills as if the bunker decision is being downloaded onto the screen using a 1998 dial up modem, all so we can not so subliminally get the message we need to go fetch a bucket of the Colonel's finest deep fried cage-reared roadkill, dripping in trans fats and likely containing a rodent's head or two. Yum.

Even the swimming have the technology to add a line on the screen, showing how close or far the swimmers are to the world record. All done live as the race is on! ...the honeymoon for the Bunker is well and truly over.

[Hawkeye]

The bunker might have all this great technology as compared to the previous video ref's .........but at the end of the day, its still a bloke making a decision from looking at a screen !

[Johnny.]

I invoke Talk Radio.

'Marvelous technology is at our disposal, and instead of reaching up to new heights, we're gonna see how far down we can go! How deep into the muck we can immerse ourselves!'

[Johnny Tobin]

The ref having to guess is shiiting me as well. What's wrong with going back to the old "Ref's call" if the bunker can't decide?

Exactly. And the problem is not the screen.
