Archer's role in Rugby League has to be the subject of a thorough investigation. Not being a Parra supporter allowed me the wondrous element of neutrality in yesterday's Grand Final. I respect both teams and Melbourne clearly were the better team and deserved their win. But throughout this season, including the contentious Origin games orchestrated by Archer, referees have moved from positions of officiating to domination and influence. We cannot prove rumours of Archer's integrity or lack of it, but we can see how this referee has shifted he run of the game according to his dictates and we are not convinced Archer is true to the game.
