A good thing i say
Aside from axing the unpopular benefit of the doubt call, the commission also determined that referees will now make on-field decisions in regards to try-scoring situations. If the referee is uncertain, he will signal time out and call on the video referee's assistance.
An ARL media statement said: "Only in those cases where the video referee believes there is 'sufficient' evidence to suggest the on-field decision is incorrect will he overturn the decision.
"In either case the video referee will communicate the outcome via the scoreboard."
