[QUOTE="austingtir, post: 738186, member: 54150"] Exactly so how can we rely on one man in the middle of the field to accurately manage the game? Just as one set of supporters might see it one way three different referees will see it opposite ways (as proven by Kaplan [retired] in the Mccaw lineout try). I think sometimes referees need a reminder of certain rules or stuff a certain team might be blatantly getting away with during the game. Notice I say reminders and by a sanctioned official not team officials or captains.... It would be the referees decision to act or not.... Then they get judged after the game if they handled it right. The problem with the referee observer is its after the fact. We need adjustments for missed stuff during the game imo. This could even be achieved without the observer/observers even being there! They could have a team of 3 to 4 people specifically watching each game checking this.... and sending it via email or conference to the referee at the ground during stoppages or HT. I mean what do int refs actually do at HT? Just sit around and have an orange or what? [/QUOTE]
