I'm all for the Referees decision being final and accept that they get some decision wrong. That just life.
However, the thing that gets me is that given the technology applied, and the evidence available some of the decisions are inconsistent at best. But when Archer comes out and says the decisions were correct, that just shows how out of touch the refereeing administration has become.
I think the bet thing that we can do is setup review panel that publicly critics controversial decisions each Monday. This would take a lot of heat of the rubbish the NRL provide today and lets the fans get use to the fact that decisions will sometimes be wrong.
Providing this vindication for fans when refs get it wrong is not necessarily a black mark on the ref, rather acknowledgement that human error is part of our game.
