Wakefield Trinity • game on!
The solutions are simple:
1. The game carries on unless the player is in the way, as has always been the case. The physio and doctor can enter the field of play now.
2. The ref does not penalise a player, even if there has been an actual infringement, if there is a belief that the other player has exaggerated the effect of the infringement. Cut out this collapsing to the floor when someone brushes past, and the other nonsense.
3. The video ref can only rule on matters of fact, not judgement. Foot in touch, offside or grounding are observable matters of fact. Obstruction and foul play are matters of judgement, and leave those to the official given the job of making the judgements.
