Yep. Plus his performance in the Kiwis/Lions match wasn't crash hot either. I thought we were playing union for most of the first half. I'm not sure i've ever seen a messier ruck.I've got no issues with an NRL referee being used, and Kearney has openly stated that that is his preference. But I'm dismayed that it's this NRL referee, as it's rewarding him for his performance for the Kangaroos/Lions match which in my eyes ruled him out of being eligible for the final.
Australia are strong favourites, and deservedly so.
The kiwis will be on a field with/against 14 aussies.
Regardless of how useless the refs from the rest world are, one should be used in this game.
It must be impartial.
I thought it was funny. Aussie wanted the guy...they got 'em. Can't complain about that!
Hopefully should end the love affair with Archer though, the only ones who seem to like em are the Aussie officials, most fans have been on the receiving end of his shockers, regardless of who they cheer on
Yes, people read too much into it when they think he's biased, when it's simply pure incompetence. :sarcasm:
