Ref and TJ not on same page

I would say the procedure that is generally adopted in RFU land is as good as any.

Whereas I'd suggest the NRL process is better.
Its a process that has been well thought out to achieve the best result.
RU, by contrast, does stuff because that's how its always been done

Sorry Dickie, can’t accept your last sentence. When I started there was no procedure! Even I am not old enough to have always been around.

And can get very defensive when the old ways are challenged

 

[Balones]

How far back are the ‘old’ ways?

and of course what balones says is spot on. The beauty of this forum is we can discuss to the nth degree something someone has seen.

but its possibly the only time in any of our lives we will ever see/hear it! (Its a bit of a bummer if ti decides a season's campaign for one team though!)

I doubt that that is true. I expect the procedure was (and still very much is):
1. player scores try
2. ARs/TJs run behind posts
3. ARs/TJs stick flags up if kick successful

or was there a time something else was done?

That was about it. ‘Procedure’ to me implies something a bit more formal. I’m sure if OB.. was here he’d tell if there was anything before conversions etc.
