Forward Pass Technology Trial

‘One of the great frustrations of our game’: NRL to trial forward pass technology

The NRL secretly trialled forward pass technology at the end of last season and will implement systems again in this month’s trial games and the NRLW.

Ball-tracking technology was used in the final weeks of last season and the results were kept top secret by the governing body.

But the technology was accurate enough to warrant further investigation and the NRL are using it again this month, before making a final call on introducing it to premiership games.
