I agree with this, but I can't see them getting rid of the "benefit" ruling as that would appear as though they are not favouring the attacking team, and thus the defensive team will get another bonus (after the massive stuffups we've had around shepherds and obstructions.

The NRL needs to take a leaf (or three) from the NFL and use the sideline screens, or just utilise the giant screens at the stadiums and make the decisions themselves, if Stirling and Rabs can make the right calls more than 90% of the time just from a few different angles, surely the guys that are paid to make the calls can too.
