Subject: The Challenge System

An idea for the future - the introduction of a Challenge System for on field decisions in the NRL. All teams are allowed a maximum of two challenges per game. The challenges can be for absolutely anything from a strip to the grounding of a ball for a try. The captain or the coach via the captain simply requests to the referee the decision to be reviewed by instant replay. The video referee is given exactly one minute to make his decision from the time the first replay is shown to him. If he cannot make up his mind, the decision goes back to the referee on the field.
After a team has had its two challenges, they must accept the decision of the on field officials for the rest of the game. All of this will have the effect of speeding up the game - there will only be a maximum of 4 stoppages per game, and it will put the responsibility of correct decision making back to the men on the field. After all, isn't that their function?
