@Phil E did they ever pause the shot clock (eg for TMO review) and if they did pause it, do they continue where they were, or reset back to 60? Or something else
Continuing seems sensible, but would be a bit rough if (say) clock was paused just as kicker started run up with 3s to go
Saw it recently in the URC, this was without shot clocks but commentators discuss them while first kick is setting up.
I highlight this one because Manie Libbok is one of those players who takes forever to kick (but has a high success rate).
try scored 61:57
Ref (Andrew Brace) says try is good, but then double checks with TMO for knock on (can't here who is talking to on field - but probably kicker or captain)
48 seconds after try - ref confirms TRY is good
61 seconds - ref tells kicker to hurry up
85 - kick taken - missed
penalty awarded 64:38
shot at goal indicated 64:57
59 seconds later, kicker warned
67 seconds, kick taken - missed.
Surely to speed up a goalkicker could start setting up and getting routine underway while TMO check is happening? Clearly rushed on the first one, but took time on the second and still missed. One can only speculate on the affect a referee rushing the player does, but it can't be much different a reaction to a boisterous crowd. These guys are professionals, the end result is that goalkickers who have very long kicking routines need to hurry them up - I don't think anyone has a problem with that.
