should the nrl be able to award the 2 points to the team that should have won?

Definitely dont think this would be something they could implement, way too many variables and it would cause a hell of a lot more controversy then it would stop it. Its just something that we have to accept and move on as much as that sucks. Although I do think they could possibly look at a challenge system similar to that used in tennis. I am pretty sure I seen someone metion that on here last year sometime and I think it could definitely work. Each team gets a limited amount of challenges per half/game, if they get the challenge correct they still have that challenge remaining and if they get it incorrect then they lose one of their challenges, it could be used for going upstairs, incorrect calls etc. I know people will say it will slow the game down and stuff like that but seriously who cares if it means the difference between us winning or losing

The correct decision needs to be made during the game. The video ref should be able to stop play and review the call.

i just found it hard to believe that first grade ref could make such an elementary mistake, i also find it a sad reflection on the game that a lot of deciated fans seem to know the rules better than maxell atleast. We all knew he got wrong before it was confirmed by the press.
Lets be honest if a ref made the same mistake in junior ruguby league. most people would still be pissed , as he should know the rules.

I think each of the Sharks players and supporters should have been allowed to Teabag him on their way out.

Too much ball sweat worked up in that game without it being put to any good use.

the only sensible thing i've read on this forum since forever!
