I used to think that refs were doing there best etc.
But 2 years ago when the NRL were really really low on funds, Tony Archer was instructed directly from David Gallop to change the rules in a state of origin game to ensure a QLD victory so the third game in NSW would be a sellout.
I lost all respect for Archer after that and as JT will tell you I believe David Gallop is an ignorant pig in an ivory tower.
We have to endure video refs all year, yet Tony Archer seemed very very hasty to blow the whistle on tries from kicks on GF day.
Think about the percentage of video ref calls go on when a try is scored from a kick. It would be over 90%......so why didnt that happen on GF day......hmmm.
