They have an 'inconclusive' ruling as well in the NRL. If they can't tell one way or the other after review, the ref's call stands but they don't lose a challenge. I'm sure its more technical than that, but I'm sure I've seen it last season

I just hope is doesn't slow the game down to much with the challenges, and endless repeats of the same incident.
