An online poll on the Daily Telegraph website has revealed many NRL fans want the code to adopt GPS microchip technology to prevent referee errors on forward passes.

More than two thirds of voters - 1010 out of 1517 who took part - said it was a good idea.

The Telegraph reported that GPSports Systems are developing technology which could be placed inside the football to record and track its movements. 

There have been a number of outrageously incorrect referee decisions, such as Tigers captain Robbie Farah's forward pass to Blake Ayshford last Friday - which ultimately cost Manly the game.
