MLR is SCRAPPING the TMO!? RRS Breakdown & Thoughts YouTube video by NARugbyDB

Wins is very doable, but 35pts back with 50 available will be tight.

For reference, the San Diego Legion finished with 366pts so still a way away from that unless Seattle have a sensational year.

The All-Time Regular Season standings for the 6 active #MLR teams heading into #MLR2026!

Unfortunately, such an eventful offseason means there won't much change in 2026. With 50pts available in the regular season however, who will close the gap the most?

It will depend on the referee I think. A ref that doesn’t review often may miss more calls, while a ref that reviews frequently may get more calls correct but won’t really be speeding the game up at all.

Again, got to find a balance. We’ll have to wait and see!

Team Challenges is a very American thing, but tracking Team Challenge Success rates and number of reviews per ref could be interesting!

It will take some time to hit a balance between getting decisions right and not slowing the game down, I think.

MLR know this and are willing to refine it

Introducing the Referee Review System. Less interruptions. More rugby. Press Release: In-stadium analyst will reduce game disruption, enhance transparency, and bring fans inside officiating reviews during 2026 matches

For #MLR2026, the TMO is being replaced with an 'In Stadium Replay Operator' (ISRO) as part of a new Referee Review System!

The ISRO will not interrupt the game, referees will be able to review calls, and each team gets 2 challenges (retained in successful).
