It was good in theory but has proven to be not only another hold the game could do without but it's unfair and that was evident not only in last weeks Cowboys/Tigers game where without it they would have avoided what was a very bad look for the game.
Cronulla in this game have lost their challenges and would've had won a challenge that lead to a try for Souths in what was a clear infringement on the player catching the ball but they had NO challenges left and staggered that the referee or touch judge didn't penalize. A few minutes later and Souths score when they shouldn't have.
Yes there are going to be calls you get and calls you don't, Payten said as much after last weeks debacle. Surely the video referee or touch judges should be more involved than having the game continually stopped for a Captains Challenge.
It was worth giving it try but time to but it in the bin permanently.
