People are going to bash me for Archers call, Even though i completely agree with it being a penalty.
This years Grand final was one of the best matches ive watched simply cause of one thing.
We used the video ref once (and only looked at replays twice) and the refs did not play a part in the game, they were not even noticed.
The game was so free flowing and it just allowed all momentum to swing either teams way and showed how footy is suppose to be played.
Im not saying the Video Ref needs to be finished, we need it to make calls like in the Toyota Cup game for the Storm last try costing the Tigers. That game was free flowing as well and allowed teams to gain momentum through their own skill and determination not through refs making terrible calls.
The Video ref needs to be limited to how many views he can look at or have a time limit! If it goes past, make it a refs call!
Tony Archer made the wrong call in penalising someone for coming back over the top and knocking ball loose on the field. But it was a penalty because Slater is trying to play the ball and Fui still had a hold of his legs. Not here to discuss that, I just wanted to get my point across at how good footy is when the refs and video refs don't try to take over the game with sh*t penalties when the game is getting tough and then screw teams chances of winning.
GREAT GAME AND GREAT SEASON.
