I'm not sure if this is what you mean, but I like the idea of having a ref standing basically 5-10m beside the goalpost (opposite side to AR) to help call anything that happens in the box. If they think something should be pulled up, they raise their flag, otherwise play continues. It's an extra set of eyes from a different angle, it doesn't disrupt play, and if it improves decisions by even a small percentage, then happy days.
Nothing will ever be perfect. As someone else mentioned, the NRL are trying that and possibly making things worse every year. I was dragged along to some local league games a few years ago and it was great not seeing everything freeze for 5 minutes after a try - a team scored, ref pointed to the ground, half the crowd cheered immediately. They didn't need 230 camera angles to decide whether the guy's fingernail scraped the ball for "downward pressure" or any of that BS. Who wants football to become like that?
We got shafted with the Victory game when we possibly would have lost anyway. We got lucky against Adelaide. Swings & roundabouts.
Valkanis already talking like a typical moron coach.
First press conference he was banging on about 'a sleeping lion waking up' then he talked more about lions then he said 'game by game'.
lord spare us, we got another one boys.
Why?
The whole reason we need tech assistance is cause all humans are useless and make mistakes at crucial times. If we start checking handball then there be checks for heaps of other stuff.
Only 2 checks are needed. Ball over the line and offside, the rest is up to the cheating refs and astute assistants.

As much as I need a new cooler, I very much doubt Lustica is the man who's gonna win another one for us... (this one has a misprint anyway, reckons wankles was the goalscorer... BTW the beer is a shout-out to Nordstrand - never forget where the crucial goals are coming from... )
