How much better is the video ref when you can hear what they are thinking?

So much better. Even better even.

It's great. The SL ones talk through their decisions and it's very viewer friendly. Some of the NRL refs who did it in the world cup seemed a bit grumpy. I'd like it to be brought in but video refs would need some coaching for it. Regardless, it would be better than listening to Gus whinge about the rules.

And listening to commentators who don't actually know the rules is painful... It's also misleading for new viewers who don't know the rules either.

The SL commentary team has an ex-referee and former match officials director and it's embarrassing to listen to Stevo and Eddie arguing with him over the rules of the game.

I was watching a highlight video the other day and there was a guy with a clear Indian accent that started talking and I didn't know who the fuck it was. I knew it wasn't a commentator since I hadn't heard him up until then. He was just like "Yeah, he's clear there, he grounds it, that's a try" and then I didn't hear him again and was so confused. Figured out what was going on next try when I heard him again. We need to bring it in.

Not to mention they don't fucking muck around.

And I thought Cherry-Evans could backflip...

Holy shit. They don't have KFC on their the big screens for try or no try. How do the crowd know if it's a try or not if there isn't a hand swatted sway or not.

Thank Vossy and the Sunday Roast for pressuring the change of that fucking corner post rule. Created so many spectacular tries

How awesome is that crowd? The chanting/singing adds such a cool atmosphere. Oh yeah super try.

The thing that stood out for me was when the ref sent it upstairs the commentators continued talking positively, and even talked it up as a good thing it was sent up because we'd get to see more replays of the try.
In the NRL the entire commentary process would've been resentful.
It's best i don't watch any more super league highlights, lest the negativity of the NRL across the board become even more obvious than it already is.

That was out-fucking-standing and easily up there with the best winger tries in the NRL.
Also, how fast was the video ref decision?
