Did not see the game so can not make a call on the refs, but I can see how coaches must get so frustrated with the refs and how nothing ever happens. I actually like it when a bloke like Ricky comes out and gives them a bagging, because other wise everything is kept behind closed doors and nothing every happens. Like the clown we had last week, he got another gig this week. They need to be far more accountable than they are now

What would the point of a ref press conference be?
Why did you give a penalty for a strip in the 14th minute when it was clearly a knock on? It looked like a strip to me, next question
How long would that last and who would care
Archer had a weekly video on the NRL website where he discussed decisions that occurred over the weekend and not many cared even Ricky by the sounds of it

Half the problem is referees/former referees controlling current referees.
Archer please!
Should be an independent body that reviews weekend performances and gets a percentage out of 100.
Pass should be (? maybe 80%) increasing by x amount every year. If you don't pass you get dropped.
For the good of Rugby League they should not be a protected species. They are bringing the game into disrepute.

Im with ricky on this one…
What about that play in the right corner on the storm line, every player was off side and the referee called play on...it was clear as day, how the touch judge could miss that was ridiculous and it was right on the line!
My 2 cents, Soliola shouldn't have been sent off. Slater slipped into it. Archer said he should have to save his own backside, as in 'storm should have won anyway'.
There is no accountability, like Ricky said...why shouldn't referees front the media after every game and clarify their calls? Fans pay their hard earnt dollars to go to a game expecting it to flow, not one team get all the calls.
Also, the video referee...'there is insufficient evidence to determine whether Finucane/Glasby is off side' are you kidding me?
Another one, the Raiders try when the video referee checked for grounding...they had no god damn idea! They were looking at the try from a sky angle for god sake!

Yeah,for the majority of his Coaching career he has seen Teams going backwards under his guidance.
Lots of players not firing thou.,Leilua and Austin are a shadow of last years performances for whatever reason.

High and late. Should have been marched. Lack of intent or the fact Slater was slipping is largely irrelevant, although may impact whether he gets 4 or 8 weeks. Reckless tackle that has no place in the game.
Wasnt reckless imo… Carless I'd say...slater slipping should be a factor... And please, we see much later tackles weekly go unpunished.
Archer coming out saying what he said it's a joke & isn't good for Soliola and has sealed his fate before he even gets to the judiciary.... Amateur hour

I agree with this. Still should have been marched but no point coming out before he gets his day in court.

We disagreed last week when I believed Papali should have been sent off for leading with the elbow/shoulder in a tackle which put Dugan out of the game. Do you believe it a coincidence boundaries are being pushed as a consequence?
One of the points Ricky makes is spot on - referees relying on video refs when they've clearly seen an obstruction or dropped ball or infringement. This I'll let it flow and see what happens is annoying. As Ricky points out you get tackled and suddenly it's a blank slate. But if they score it's called back. That Saints try against us a few weeks go is a classic example. They clearly suspected or knew offside players got involved but instead of blowing it up when that happened we went another 20 seconds until Saints score. After video review, no try, penalty. But if they get tackled a metre out then dive in from dummy half it's a try. Fair enough if something isn't clear or your not sure but some of them are outsourcing their job.

Yeah, it's ridiculous. They need to limit the video refs to grounding the ball. The four refs on the field should see everything else

The players?
They go right to the line and over it every week…. I don't quite get your last sentence?

Lack of on field action by referees. If Papali had been sent off, I think Soliola may have thought before continuing with his late tackle. Sure Slater was falling but the tackle was very late with the intent of putting the utmost physical pressure on the ball player.
Ok.
Yeah of course if ref's give an inch players will take a mile… Ref's know the "on report" option can cover their arse to an extent.... I'd blame those in the bunker for not advising a send off was in order there... They had enough time to review it and they have the ability to do this

He's wrong that the officials don't have to answer and mentioning Archer specifically. He does. Any time shonky decisions are made he fronts up and either defends or admits the wrong decision was made.
@ said:
Agree. That was a disgraceful thing to do by Archer. In real time it happens very quickly, Slater falls and the ref would have been following the ball anyway. There wasn't enough evidence for a send off, so report was the right thing.
Archer needs to encourage his refs to back their judgement. Mandatory penalties for punching and shoulder charges are rubbish - ref should rule on it based on judgement and context. I also think the refs have been told to cut down on the volume of penalties for the last few months, so now we see a lot of rubbish let go and the fans think the refs are blind as a result.
Poor Ricky has a great footy team at his disposal and again another failed season …well you have to blame someone not himself for being a very average coach . I agree with him the refs have no idea ! They should of sent his player off for attacking an opponents head leaving him motionless yes Ricky I do agree with you what a loser you are.

"Putting the utmost physical pressure on the ball player" is what RL is all about, it's not badminton.
Soliola dealt Billy The Kid the Dead Man's Hand. Karma is beautiful at times, Billy wasn't marched for deliberately kicking Skando in the face years ago from memory. He slipped at the last minute, Soliola's tackle would of hit him in the body otherwise. Nothing in it, the damage was done when his head hit the ground. Soliola will get weeks thanks to Archer's pathetic comment yet Jack Wighton got off last year for lining Joel Edwards up from 20 metres away and collecting his head, knocking him out of the game. No consistency whatever.

Yes Slater was slipping but Soliola's tackle was very late and he should have been sent off. We struggle for halves in our game and little wonder when tackles such as this go unpunished on the field. Concussion injuries are very serious and let's up Soliola's penalty serves as a deterrent.
