Rugby league, refs behind the goals.?

Question

when shooting for goal after a try or penalty if one ref holds the flag and the other one don't is that still counted as a score,i think i've seen that age's ago,but can't remember the outcome.

Answer 1

If touch judges do not agree the result reverts back to the referee.

Answer 2

I think it may be the field refs decision. Unless the match has a video referee.

Answer 3

I cant believe noone has answered this correctly yet. The two line umps are each judging whether the ball passes inside their respective post. This way only one thing for each ref to look at. They usually see each other and make the same call but on close ones must make independant decisions. Once one flag is waved no goal then it is no goal!

Answer 4

I am a kiwi and was brought up watching rugby and rugby league. When a penalty or conversion attempt is made their are 2  line judges each standing directly below one of the vertical polls at the end of the field. It is their job to see if the ball travels past the correct side. ie. through the middle of the 2 poles. The umpire of the match (through the raising of the flags) confirms whether the attempt was success or not. Also the ball must travel above the horizontal pole that connects the 2 vertical poles.

Answer 5

One up, one down = Referee's call. Oh, and the guys who stand behind the goals with the flags, they are called touch judges. For a while, before video referee's, there used to be two extra referree's known as "in goal touch judge's"

5 referee's for each game was getting out of hand.
