That's only your opinion though. Don't state stuff like Napa will be easily contained as fact when it's not. And you are forgetting these are Queenslanders, they arent passionless nswelshmen.
Speaking of easily contained, you could easily say that about tedesco. Ran a lot of meters but not much impact. He is as big a myth as the dreamer hayne.

Surprise surprise, Archer defended the Fifita try.
He said he did not influence the game.. Despite the fact that Jennings running for the ball attracted the attention of the defenders and forced one of them to try to block him.
From my understanding, that's influencing the game because that defender would have been able to run a straighter line to the ball had it not been for Jennings running for the ball.
Besides, Archer earlier in the year made a point to be black and white this year. He slammed Patten for using discretion on an obstruction in the Storm vs Warriors game.
And here he is, using discretion.
Active or passive, offside players are not allowed to chase for the ball. They are not allowed to be in the 10.
There is no fucking consistency with these fucking imbeciles.
I couldn't really care that we lost. As I said last week, it's a meaningless game. But I just don't see how they can get these calls incorrect. It's frustrating. Maybe there is corruption.
He also defended the refs. Stating he was comfortable with their performance.

Look, I'm a passionate Qlder and agree with your sentiment about Napa but you can't go off at a guy for doing exactly what you did straight after with your comment about Hayne and Tedesco. Hayne (with some help from the refs) single-handedly broke the Maroons 8-year streak, hardly a myth. Tedesco showed glimpses in his FIRST origin match that he very much has a future at this level. And yes, I feel guilty for standing up for NSW.

I just listened to this and couldn't believe what I was hearing. I don't know what's worse, the refereeing errors or the willingness of Archer to condone and back the mess.

So the only ones who think it should have been a try ( besides NSW team ) are the refs. No wonder confusion reigns in the bunker. They capitulated under pressure from coaches and the media re black and white rulings on obstructions with the block runners and now they are letting them think for themselves regarding other areas.
Like some other things this year they have opened the door for that to be the norm after ruling black and white all last year and so far this year.
Didn't Qld have one taken off us in game 3 last year when Gillett was in front but miles away from the play. It was late in the game IIRC .
I can't find it but if anyone can be bothered it would be good to compare.

Watch the Archer crap I linked in the other thread, he tries to justify it there and shows the vision.

How does one single-handedly do anything with help from someone?

Archer used the Gillett play as a point in comparison. Since Gillett touched the ball, he was involved in the play.
I would have to see other instances to know whether or not it's consistent. If that's the interpretation, I'm OK with it since Jennings never made any contact with the football or obstructed a defender. If anything, his presence should have motivated O'Neil to chase harder.
My biggest issue last night with the call is that I don't recall the active/passive interpretation existing. However, it supposedly does under Section 14 (2) and they define it on the video.

For all the penalties QLD gave away, they were entitled to as many because NSW did EXACTLY the same thing, but were not penalized. That would have been a classic game if not for incompetent refs. Seriously, how good was that QLD defence leading up to half time? NSW had the ball for like 10 minutes.

For the last decade tries have been denied when an offside player has been 9m away from the play but dimply took a few steps forward, they have actually been fairly consistent on this ruling (until last night) ... Archer himself has denied tries for this reason.
In this instance an offside player actually chases the ball.
Conspiracy theory time... The NRL are desperate for the bunker to be seen as a success that they have instructed the refs boss to back all decisions they make, no matter what. Especially after Greenturds statement that said the bunker would get 100% of the decisions right

I can't see how Jennings doesn't interfere with O'Neill. He actively pursues the ball and jostles with O'Neill, as Fittler said last night "there's nothing passive about what Jennings did"? I guess by running toward the ball that way Jennings clear intention was to participate in the play, therefore penalty Qld.
I had no idea about the active/passive interpretation ever being mentioned by anyone before and Cam Smith certainly knew nothing about it either. I wonder how many coaches, players and commentators were aware and when.
