Why would they want it stopped? It's actually in the TMO trial that where available the referee can check the screens.
If it means the right decision is made I see no issue.
At out meeting last week Wayne was also questioned about the TMO making mistakes. He said that with the new abilities provided he would have no issue with asking the TMO to recheck something he thought looked wrong on the screen. The TMO is there to help get the hard decisions right, I agree with Barnsy, if there is something obviously wrong why compound it?
Exactly.
He saw it
He was entitled to use the replay
He saw the replay
He made the decision based on what he saw
Where's the problem?

3. Potential acts of foul play
3.1. The match officials may suggest that the referee refers the matter to the TMO for review if they observe an act of foul play where:
► They may have only partially observed an act or acts of foul play
► They are unsure of the exact circumstances
► The views of the match officials reporting the act(s) of foul play differ
► There is doubt as to the appropriate sanctions to be applied
3.2. If the referee agrees to refer the matter to the TMO he will indicate that he wishes the TMO to review the potential act(s) of foul play and to make a recommendation as to the appropriate sanction(s).
3.3. In reviewing the potential offence the TMO must use the criterion on each occasion that the infringement must be clear and obvious especially where sanctions may apply where a player is removed from the field of play either temporarily or permanently.
3.4.
The other match officials may utilise the in stadium screens (where available) to form a judgement in this matter.
"Other match officials" must refer to those other than the TMO, who has his own screen, and probably can't see the stadium screen anyway
