Tony Archer.

(there was also that ridiculous thing early in the 1st half where he called '2' on Turner, but Turner kept running and wasn't penalised.

It's not the 1st time I've heard Archer call a tackle but allow the play to continue. I've heard him before whilst listening to Sports Ears. He clearly called "Two,release". When the Parra players released, Turner kept running

Disgraceful call ... that tackle by Moi Moi was one of the best of the match and yet he got penalised for it. Slater dropped it cold.

Moi Moi should have been the medalist ... by a street and I'm not a Parramatta supporter.

That was an awful decision, I thought i had heard one of the refs say "release" and Turner was away!! Not sure why it wasn't called back!!

Cronk was easily the best on the field followed by Blair.

Fui Fui was good in his last dig but wasn't all that effective in his first two.

The better team won, pure and simple. No need to blame the ref's.
Melbourne were the better side, Parra only came alive with 10 minutes left.

Oh FFS

Storm were by FAR the better team

Remember Inglis being taken out 1m infront of the tryline in the firsthalf?

Dallas Johnson being hit high by Fui Fui yet no penalty given for that....but Blair hit Inu on the upper arm and was penalised.

We don't hear the Storm supporters screaming about that...or the fact that Fui's foot wasn't checked when he scored.

Which brings up a good point

It was a clear call against Turner, but refs often let it go as their only other option is a penalty - which when it all happens in a split second is all rather unfair.

Why not just call play up and send the man back to the spot to play the ball?

No mention either of Nathan Hindmarsh milking 2 crucial 'stripping' penalties to get out of their own half when under the pump.
As the commentators said after the first one "he basically handed the ball to the defender in the tackle"
