Last night just should have been a red and the VAR could have then checked if that was the right call or not. That could have stopped the little brawl to start with but we already starting to see refs lose confidence and look to the VAR.

Simon Hill hates it and only mentions it when necessary but Brenton Speed is like a puppy with a new toy.
Agreed. Ref's are second guessing themselves and it will impact their control in the fuller context of a game, not just on those VAR related decisions.
