Wasn't a very exciting game.

I guess Ott. had a chance....with Masoli they be ok?

Cal. well they won, Mair got some stats....but they don't look good two weeks in a row that offence kinda sucks, and of all people Dicky is the only coach so far this season to win a challange

I am confused with PI this year, it appear they are "letting more" go, I just really, really hope they keep it consistent all season, I like it better the way it's being called this year, but it's still seems as if they are letting much more go than last year

Also the CC has only overturned one call, good IMO unless it's really obvious don't overturn the call on the field, I don't like the fishing some coaches were doing, in fact I would like to see an additional penalty enforced if a coach get's it wrong.

How about 3 grades of challenge review results: 1) Call Overturned (One free) 2) Call Stands (Loss of TO and challenges)  3) Call Confirmed (Loss of TO, challenges, and 10 yd penalty)

Call confirmed means there was little to nothing there they could or should have seen that would result in a successful challenge. Almost all of the challenges are for interference now. Often, there's very little there. It's a drag on the game. If it's not obvious, don't throw the challenge flag. Eg. if you think something happened, but you didn't actually see it, do not throw. It could be costly.

But that opens it to interpretation. I would be fine with loss of a timeout and a 10 yard penalty or loss of down if used with 3 mins of a half.

That way coaches would have to be confident, the way it is now you loose a time out...it's a risk worth fishing over, but potentially loosing a down or taking on 10 yards would make a coach think twice about a fishing expedition, while still allowing completely missed calls to be corrected.
