Subject: The 2 referee system - thoughts?

The system has operated a little differently to how I had imagined it from the initial descriptions. I had assumed that the 2nd referee would be positioned in a closer proximity to the tackle / ruck area. However, it seems the 2nd referee is following the position that is commonly used in touch football, that is, behind the attacking line. This position does seem to loose the impact of the referee at the tackle / ruck.

Probably the only snags so far have been:
- when using the 80/20 system, both referees are ending up on the same side of the PTB on occasions after a handover
- when there is some sort of turnover or change of possession and it may not be clear who is the head referee, there have been simultaneous and contrary calls by the 2 officials.
