Tony Archer = GF Ref

[Azkatro]

:lol:

I remember that, was that last year or the year before?

He copped a slap in the face and Archer said play on.

I think it was the year before against the Raiders? at Dairy Farmers. I'm sure Archer penalised him for it as well! (probably rightly so)

 

[Desert Qlder]

I put my hand up but obviously they weren't interested. A detriment to the game I feel.

 

[langpark]

it really shows how far into the 5hit we've gone if tony archer is our GF ref. He has always been indecisive and ball-less and still is IMO

 

[Timmah]

He's come a long way this year after that decision in the fourth minute of 2007... caving to the pathetic whinging Newcastle crowd... who ended up with one of their worst seasons on record.

 

[roboshark]

ive seen it all now...deadset

how this clown stays in first grade is a mystery....getting the grand final, well that just about sums up the NRL....no fuggin idea

 

[Mr Saab]

Who do you want as referee then Robo?

Clark? He sends players to the bin when a player says "What for" (Kidwell)
Simpkins? He sends players off for invisible knees (McKinnon)
Hayne? He sends players off for waving their hands and talking at the same time (Peachey) God knows how Hayne would survive in Italy with every person talking with their hands

 

[roboshark]

none of the above saab....maybe hampstead

i still reckon ben cummins is the best of the up and coming refs, not that you would give him the GF, but in 12 mths time lookout i reckon

 

[Mr Saab]

Cummins needs alot of work.
Hampstead i thought would have at least got a week one semi and a week 2 semi.

 

[Fast Eddie]

Hampstead should have been refing one of the semis. Rate him over Tony Archer.

 

[roboshark]

Cummins needs alot of work.
Hampstead i thought would have at least got a week one semi and a week 2 semi.

true to all of the above, although as i said cummins has a lot going for him and if he sticks at it he will be a very good ref...despite what some on here believe

Cummins, he sends off/sin bins blokes for taking a punch.
Maxwell, he doesnt send off blokes, but sin bins the wrong blokes.

They are all horrible, so does it really matter. Lets just hope that the mistakes Archer makes (becuase lets face it there will be mistakes), don't cost a side a GF!

 

[Charlie124]

Ive got no problems with Archers appointment, anything has to be better than Clark, Simpkins, Hampstead and co.

Lets just hope he has a good game.

 

[innsaneink]

Probably the right choice.....

I like Hampsteads composure....he never gets rattled, he just gets a bit too many things wrong

Archer - good choice....a few weeks back i feared Hayne was headed for the GF

 

[Eye_Shot_The_Sheriff]

best choice of a bad bunch
