\u201cPlayer stats go up on the board the more you come up to bat,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen they announce the referees, I would like to see their statistics appear on the table as well. The NRL does it. I think the NFL does. It’s also a good thing for spectators to see.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou definitely know which refs are going to give that 50-50 when it gets to the pad, and that’s where, from my point of view, it gets frustrating.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere is no prejudice whatsoever. It’s just that you feel that way sometimes as a player.<\/p>\n
However, Warner said the comments were not directed specifically at Wilson, but added that “there has to be some accountability.”<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you make a bad decision, own it and apologize,\u201d Warner said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe players are not going to bite your head off. The referees won’t rip your head off if you ask them. They are generally quite honest.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou see it with the NRL bunker. You get absolute stinkers and some refs don’t officiate the next game.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think over a period of time. You know, obviously players are excluded due to poor performance. We were never told what happens with the panel (of referees) either. So (statistics are) just an indicator.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut it\u2019s just little things that show the viewer that it\u2019s not easy.\u201d So you know, you can explain where it’s not easy, why it’s not easy. And then when good decisions are made, they can explain it.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo I think that\u2019s something that could be explored.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/amp-img>Joel Wilson handed it out. Photo: Fox Sports<\/span>Source: RENARD SPORTS<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nWarner said the outburst was due to \u201cfrustration.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNormally when something hits me in the leg, on the outside, I know it’s going more downward,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cI asked Joel when I was there what happened, like why did he reveal it? He said the ball was coming back.<\/p>\n
\u201cFrom my perspective on the replay, that wasn\u2019t the case. When we see in replay how it went, we’re a little annoyed.<\/p>\n
Warner also questioned the ball-tracking technology, explaining that he “never brought Hawk-Eye in to explain to us how the technology actually works.”<\/p>\n
He said an explanation could help players make better decisions when determining whether to review.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf they could come and explain to us how it works, then sometimes we might (choose) not to reference or to reference,\u201d he said, expressing frustration the conditions of concern could dictate differences in matters ball tracking, in particular.<\/p>\n
“At the moment we seem to be waiting (for ball tracking), and as a player you get more frustrated because you think, ‘Did they field it, what are the impact points, how many points of impact are there before he leaves.’ on’.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn England the ball bounces and it moves once it bounces, not just off the seam but in the air it can move, so there are just little things that as a player frustrate you because there is no explanation…but there must be some responsibility.<\/p>\n
