HAS TECHNOLOGY CREATED EQUITY FOR ASSISTING REFEREES AND UMPIRES?
Equity is very important for all sports played, but it is not always easily achieved. The NRL has many technological devices that assist in making the game more fair.
The referees have a significant impact on game play. They create equity for players as they are as fair as possible and try to make the most accurate calls.
One technological advancement which creates equity in the sport is how the on field referee can call upon the video ref when in doubt about a try. The video ref assists the on-field ref to ensure they can make the best decision. This makes a significant difference to the game as without referees the game would be unstructured and unfair. Technology has defiantly created equity in the NRL in many ways but particularly through the technology of video referees.
Video referees and assiting umpires are only used at elite levels. Club rugby leauge associations dont have access to these advancements as they are expensive and they cant afford it. Therefore this technology is unequitable unless playing at a first grade level.
