NEW NRL CEO Todd Greenberg has confirmed Sydney Roosters coach Trent Robinson has contacted him about embracing cutting-edge digital technology used in the English Premier League and the US National Football League.

The technology, which is currently used by broadcasters in Europe and the US, could have prevented the incorrect no try-ruling around Mitchell Aubusson being called off-side when Latrell Mitchell scored for the Roosters against Manly last Saturday night.

What the European and US technology does is allow broadcasters to divide the field into grids, with the digitally-enhanced lines able to clearly stipulate whether players are on or off-side.

In the EPL, broadcaster Sky Sports regularly uses the technology while in the NFL it is used around showing whether players have scored touch downs.

Sydney Roosters coach Robinson first became aware of the EPL technology when the premiership-winning coach visited EPL giants Manchester City in the UK.

Greenberg said he had spoken to Robinson about the possibility and the NRL was always aiming to improve the technology it embraces if it means getting the correct decisions on the field.

“We’re always looking at ways to improve the product on the field,” Greenberg told Fox Sports.

“There’s a number of things we’ve been looking at behind the scenes, around ball tracking technology but also some of the things around other sports, both here and abroad.

“So where we can take some lessons and learnings, we’ll do it.”

In the case of the Aubusson off-side ruling, the vision would have clearly shown both of the Sydney Roosters backrower’s feet were behind the position from where Latrell Mitchell kicked the ball.

After a flawless start to the season, the NRL’s $2 million bunker is now being called into question given the number of contentious rulings involving the new innovation in rounds three and four.
