The Challenge System is Broken

The whole point of resuming with a jump ball is you don't know what would have happened if the whistle hadn't gone.

-If a challenge is unsuccessful, just resume as per the original call. I cannot believe someone has to actually point this out.
-If a challenge is successful, and one team has a clear right to the ball, give them the ball. Tassie should have got it both times last night. Henshall should have retroactively been called for a travel in Illawarra. There are many times someone comes up with a rebound even before the ref has a chance to blow the whistle.

Yes it's a good concept but needs a bit tinkering.

A "challenge" is a challenge on the call. If the challenge is successful, the Made call can be cancelled. NOT reversed. So neither team is entitled to the possession. Hence the toss!

Agree it is crazy. Understand what's written but what has happened to common sense and fair play

I re-read it. Still don't think you made that point.

This is what you wrote. "If a challenge is successful, and one team has a clear right to the ball, give them the ball."

That just isn't right. Maybe the way it should be, but not the way it is.

If we are saying the same thing, Sorry for the comments. No harm intended.
