Thoughts ?
As a general rule, I try NOT to think about Rugby League :nono:

Posted on a RL thread. Stop it, I'm getting a stitch
The RL conneciton is irrelevant. As the article says they looked at the concept as used in the NFL and NHL in the USA. That fact has been mentioned on here from time to time.But their technological advancements have often been adopted by Union , so in that context?
I have only skimmed the posts above but if it hasn't been mentioned - the central TMO location is being used in MLB now...and very effectively. I am a big fan. I think the catcher/collision rule is bad - but the new review procedures are working well and getting calls right.

I don't know if there is anything uniquely devised by RL that RU copied. In cases such as professionalism and sinbins, as examples, other sports got there before RL. I see no reason to generalise too far.The point I thought I was making OB, was, Union seems to watch how RL uses technology before they start experimenting/trials , I'm not aware that Union took a lead from other sports .... Maybe you know more ?
Is the historical evidence really that compelling? Or are you just arguing post hoc ergo propter hoc?If im correct, this means that IF RL trial this, AND its deemed successful AND then implemented , then its far more likely to arrive in Union in due course based on historical evidence.
RU advancements seem more copied from RL than any other different sport. If you think its coincidence then so be it.
Personally, I'm struggling to think of things that haven't been prior tested out by RL before adoption ...?
go on Browner, educate us with a couple of examples then. tech that was first adopted in RL (date) then by the RU... (date)
