Andrew Merthens oor die Sharks se ref:
Why have refs as TMOs?
After sitting through the Sharks-Lions game last weekend, I couldn’t help wondering why on earth we need referees in the role of TMO.
With about 10 minutes to go, a player from each team contested a high ball, and collided in mid-air. The referee went to the TMO and he ruled a penalty against the Lions guy, even though he’d had his eyes only on the ball and had contested, I believe, fairly. It was a flat-out bad decision.
What I want to know is what happens to this guy who got it patently wrong in a big call at the business end of a game? “Nothing” is the answer.
There needs to be better accountability when these guys make mistakes, and I’d even go as far as to question why the TMO needs to be a referee when they’re not dealing in questions of law as such, but what actually just happened.
I’d much rather see a former player or coach in the role because to my mind they’ve got a better feel for the game.
