Has Tony Archer confirmed the correct call was made yet?
"I knew I couldn't get to the ball so I just went up for a contest. He touched it first, so I scored that try," he said of the first incident.
"I don't think it was a knock-on, the next one I scored. It looks loose, but I still had my hands on the ball. It was a try. I don't know what they're talking about."
Well let's face it as if he was going to admit he knocked it on

Why is nothing ever actually The on-field refs fault according to Archer?
Because "the process is correct."
Although in this case, the process wasn't correct as the bunker is not supposed to intervene. Klein should have followed the opinion of his touchie, which I think he is actually supposed to do (I'm pretty sure there is a rule in there that says that), and went upstairs.
But even if the refs **** up, Archer will do nothing.
There is absolutely no accountability in that department. Perhaps I should become a ref, I would love a job where I don't have to worry about fucking up and being sacked.

Can't really blame Klein if he gets advised from the bunker that the try is good, which is what he was going to refer to anyway.
Like Archer said, in this case Maxwell definitely screwed the pooch, but I really can't fathom why!
The knock on is pretty clear in the replays, and if he hadn't seen the replays, why did he intervene?
If that's happened then I want to know who was in the box when we got denied a fair try against Melbourne and when Manly scored of the blatant forward pass and when Moylan was given that try against us....ABC grandstand said today that according to Archer, it is NOT the process for the video refs to intervene before the on field ref calls on them and as such Maxwell has been dropped.
having said that, it has apparantly been happening all season, and the only reason we know about it is due to the monumental **** up and not even Archer can try to spin that into being the correct decision (which is his usual MO)
