    Technology is the way forward but they have to get an equal medium between that and the referees.

    chaddam is right with his opinion on the Refs having to be definitive with a Try or No Try decision before they send it upstairs when on occassions they have no clear view of the try being scored or not. Surely it would be easier on the Refs if the Bunker decided with the technology available. Take some of the pressure off the referees and they may be more adequate in other areas of the Game that requires on the spot rulings. ie forward passes, knock ons etc

    With the Bunker deciding on Try or No Try, in decisions where there is no clear indication from the available views then the NRL should have in place a "benefit of the doubt decision" which goes to either the defending side or the attacking side(one or the other). ie If for instance the NRL has the defending side as the side who has the "benefit of the doubt" then if the Referee sends a scoring opportunity upstairs and it cannot be determined as a try ( now only by the Bunker) then the defending side gets the decision........ No try and play on (depending on the tackle count).
