I can see it now.
We're 78 minutes into the 2010 grand final and we've gone upstairs to check whether St George Illawarra have scored a try that will give them the lead over Manly.
There's a clear obstruction in the lead-up and the ball's come loose as Mark Gasnier's gone to ground it (sound familiar?).
The players, the 80,000 fans at the ground and millions watching at home know it's not a try but the only man that matters – the video referee – is checking and re-checking in super slow-mo.
Manly palms are getting sweaty. Why is such a simple decision taking so long?
Finally the big screen starts swirling and up comes the verdict. It's a…TRY!
Don’t laugh. The above scenario – whoever the two GF combatants turn out to be – is a real chance of eventuating.
The premiership could well be decided by a blue from those in control.
It's happened from Round one to 25 so why not on the biggest day of the lot?
This week the Sea Eagles have again been afforded a watery apology from refs' boss Robert Finch admitting match officials blundered in awarding the Roosters a match-turning try last Sunday.
It's like a bloke running off with your missus and ringing you from the airport to ask for forgiveness.
Too little, too late.
The lead-up to the Roosters try – where Sam Perrett took out Steve Matai - was missed by the two on-field referees, two touch judges and the video ref.
Incredibly, Channel 9's commentary team also glossed over the incident as inconsequential.
This is not me talking with one maroon and one white eye.
Every team in this competition can look back at games where they were robbed.
Talking of crimes, betting in sport will continue to rear its ugly head.
When there's big money around and you've got people with a gambling habit or some other sort of problem in their life, they will go the quick fix and do desperate things.
Anyone who thinks rugby league is immune to it is an idiot.
I said to the NRL years ago that they should put things in place to stop any suggestion of impropriety
One simple way to solve some of the murkiness is the delaying of the toss until just before kick off.
If it was unknown until the last minute who was kicking off and who was receiving the ball, it would eliminate the sort of scandal that has engulfed Canterbury's Ryan Tandy.
Why don’t the NRL get people in there with some knowledge of betting?
The fact players continue to be approached by unscrupulous types wanting to arrange certain things in games should be ringing major alarm bells at NRL HQ.
In all the incidences that I am aware of, the players have rejected the advances.
But they're not all cleanskins. Someone will crack.
So let's move into the Round 26 action.
It looks pretty straightforward on the surface.
The top eight will remain as it is with a shuffle of positions here and there, which means wins to: Canberra, Gold Coast, Parramatta, Penrith, Roosters, Melbourne, Manly, St George Illawarra.
See you next week for the start of the business end of the season.
