What happens if you exceed the allotted time please?

An image of Nigel Wood naked comes up on the big screen.

Based on when someone went over the time at Wheldon Road last season, literally nothing.

What I'd like to see is a speeding up of the decision making and a instant one instead of a spinning wheel on the video ref play back, it fetches no excitement and is down right frustrating to watch

Damn you. I will have to stick an ice pick though my ear to get rid of that thought.

I don't think they've thought that far ahead. It'll happen one day in a big televised game and cause a big fuss. It happened at Saints last season and nothing happened at all, the countdown just went blank and the game resumed a few seconds later.

The shot clock on drop outs is irrelevant and still a farce. Far too many players go down 'injured' when a drop out is conceded. It's time the referees were instructed to only stop the game for an obviously serious injury, or for the player who goes down to have to leave the field and come back on during the next set as happens in football. They need to discourage it.

Correct decision. They brought the shot clock in to speed up the process. But it had an adverse effect. Teams were using every allocated second to get the ball in the scrum.

The part regarding the wheel has been my bug bear all season. Totally pointless waste of time, doesn't create any tension or excitement at all, it just wastes time after a lengthy video ref decision.

In a way the spinning wheel undermines the whole VR process, as it reinforces a notion of luck/chance being part of the decision making process, rather than it being evidence based.
