Roosters try was wrong: NRL Refs Boss

archers right. just like he was with the morris out of bounds pass which lead to a try in the 2010 grand final. no probs

And don't forget the fair pass that was called forward that robbed us of a try. Seriously ripped off in that GF!

It might seem ironic, but if you're a ref or a linesman - and running - being in line with the play doesn't mean you have the best view. The best view is if you're in line - and stationary. When you're running you can lose your bearings a bit.

And on Archer's comment - in my view the biggest sin is calling a pass forward when it wasn't. I've always liked the attacking team to be given the benefit of the doubt. The pass looked like it was probably forward, but I think there's a chance it could have been okay. Certainly it wasn't the worst forward pass that's been let go.

Hear! Hear!

In breaking news, Jeff Younis, the touchie who made the call on the forward pass, has incurred the wrath of Archer for this heinous crime - he has been dropped.

The message from the top is clear: if a decision is line ball, don't give the benefit of the doubt to the Roosters. You might lose your job if you do.

Interesting point I saw on Sterlo's Show yesterday.

Two weeks ago a touchie missed a blatant forward pass from the Broncos in their clash with the Cowboys.

A week later Darius Boyd throws a beautiful cut out ball for a try... only for the touchie to call it forward when it clearly wasn't.

I doubt this was a coincidence. Archer is making his touchies nervous so watch for a line ball at worst call be pulled up against us on Thursday.
