| Quote Old Darlin="Old Darlin"Rubbish.
That is EXACTLY what the ARL/RLIF would hope people will think.
NEUTRAL REFS is the moral of this story (2010 4N). That and how close the top 3 are and especially Australia and New Zealand.'"
What the ARL deliberately fielded a rubbish ref, so we think the most impportant thing is a decent ref and then next year they can line up a really good Oz ref for the Oz matches?
I'm not saying that I actually think the quality of ref is more important than nationality, I'm just saying that I'm shocked by how poor Archer was.

| Anyone who saw the earlier games knows that.
Anyone who has watched any number of rugby league games he has ref'd knows that.
The fact is poor decisions can be excused when the ref is neutral. Not otherwise. The perception of bias is as important as whether or not bias actually exists. Fairly fundamental in fact.
Like FIFA, we will have to put up with poor decisions at times. It is a product of money and access to facilities and training. Poorer countries need help with their refs. Let's offer it.

Very much agreed

| the calls for competent refs should be louder than for neutral refs. the nrl refs have shown over a number of years that they ar far below the standard required. i found it hilarious that their childish insistence on having their own ref, despite him being the worst ref in the competition, came back to bite them on the .

| At first glance he performed well in terms of neutrality, but poor in general.
A deeper analysis might ask - was his bad performance influenced by the fact he wasn't neutral?

| Of course it was; even if only subconsciously.
Neutrality removes any issues of that nature. The ref need worry only about the performance and the media only about the quality of the football as any semblance of bias is removed.

| Strange how yet once again it was never the players who were at fault.
I have always been of the opinion that if the players played by the rules, then it shouldn't never matter who the the match officials are and they would have very little to do.

| Professionals will always bend rules as much as possible.
The idea of no infringements is a nice theory. Unfortunately for that scenario, humans play and not robots.

| I thought the worst decision today cam from the only neutral on the field. That foot on the line should have been spotted.

| It was a shocker and strengthens the case for putting more money into international officials.

| So what happened to the Kiwis getting dicked?
Ref's will always make mistakes, they are only highlighted in more in the big games and especially the close ones.
