Refs boss Tony Archer has declared that Anthony Milford's kick to win last night's clash with the Rabbitohs was fine, saying that he was satisfied that there was no knock-on in the lead up pass to Milf. Check out the video below.

"In the 78th minute of the Broncos/Rabbitohs game, a field goal is awarded to the Broncos," Archer said.

"On this play, this is not a decision that the on-field officials can refer to the Bunker.

"The only referral of a field goal to the Bunker can be to see if the ball goes between the uprights and over the crossbar, or whether or not the play involves foul play.

"This play clearly did not. The referees on field had to make this decision in real time.

"You can see that the right hand of Anthony Milford comes in contact with the ball and maintains contact with the ball as his left hand scoops the ball up.

"Subsequently the on-field officials played on, and I support that decision."
