I don't mind being dudded so long as there is consistency. I think we all emphasise ref decisions too much and Im to blame for that as well. As long as you win some and lose some you can't really complain.

lol i like the way the bunker is operating, they are trying to show us split screens, make a quick decision, making it look all professional but we have no clue what's happening.
too quick to judge, coz 80% of our problem with video ref was inconsistency so let's re visit this in 10 weeks but so far i like it. it's a good idea.

So far as I can tell three things have changed:
1) There's obviously been an instruction to make decisions more quickly.
2) The commentators are under instructions to constantly waffle on about how great the bunker is.
3) Viewers can no longer tell what's going on because the screen showing the useful picture is surrounded by five other superfluous ones.
I'm yet to see a decision the bunker has called correctly that I wouldn't have backed the old video ref to get right. So in conclusion: it's fine, but hardly the revolutionary breakthrough the commentary teams seem to be expected to tell us it is.

As long as the calls are made quickly and with consistency (even if they're consistently bad,) it's a level above what we had.

Thankfully, the guy next to me has his headphones in. Otherwise, at the game, you have no idea what is going on

Exactly…. :smiley:
Get rid of split screen shots of the fox logo, players milling around doing nothing, coaches in their box and then we may be able to VIEW something worthwhile… which is supposed to be the point of being a TV viewer

not really - its just a lot faster. they get camera angles straight from the ground not through nine/fox. youll notice a lot of the time theyve already checked onsides before Fox switches over to bunker footage even - eons faster than last year. about half the time through the testing phase from memory. should be a lot more consistent too with less people there
great iniative by the nrl

Im all for it too - from what i saw in Round one
The only thing i ask for this fairness and consistency.

Couldnt agree more
Too much distracting the viewer with all those feeds
BUT something tells me it could be a ploy, we could be judging the decisions out of the Bunker if we got to see the same feed as them at the same time. so they throw the net and distract us while they make decisions of the screen they are focusing on.
I know i'd be quick to disagree and dispute if there were two feeds only, i'd be saying they got the decision wrong
Doesnt help being an one eyed supporter :smiley:

Seems to be quicker and working so far, but I'd rather just see the screen they are looking at, too messy as it is

Decisions might be quicker generally speaking), but they're still not always gonna be right. That disallowed try for the knights due to a supposed obstruction was crazy. If that was us, and costing us a game, we'd be furious. I think Luke Patten was the decision maker in this case. It'll be interesting to see if his interpretation is in conflict with others as the rounds roll on.
