NRL referees boss Tony Archer has hit back at his predecessor Bill Harrigan, throwing his support behind his whistleblowers for their performance in State of Origin III.Harrigan slammed the performance of referee Gerard Sutton in Wednesday nights dead rubber at ANZ Stadium, saying he wouldnt have selected him.Sixteen penalties were blown in the match, the equal-second most in an Origin match since 1996.Twelve of those were given in favour of NSW in their 18-14 win - coincidentally the same number Queensland received when winning last years series decider by a blowout margin.The penalty count was 9-1 in the Blues favour at halftime after the Maroons copped a string of them for infringements while desperately defending their line.However Archer not only said his refs were correct in penalising the Maroons for their repeated infringements in the first half, he said they performed well across the whole series.Going into game two, I reminded the referees that if there were infringements in the ruck or on the 10 metres, my expectation is that they are penalised to ensure a flow to the game, Archer said.There was a period where NSW were in a strong attacking position, theres four penalties in about seven or eight minutes.I expected the referees to penalise those that infringe and was comfortable with what they did in that period of the game.Harrigan said Sutton didnt get a feel for Wednesdays clash and Gavin Badger - who played no part in the series - should have been one of the two referees.When you get into a State of Origin youve got to have a feel for the game and an empathy for the game, Harrigan, who refereed 21 Origins, told Triple M.And I just think that Gerry didnt have that feel last night.If youre going to blow a penalty its got to have impact and have the desired affect that youre after ... and when he gave some of the penalties that werent needed to be given.Harrigan, who publicly backed Sutton after the opening game of the series, thought he should have made way for Badger in Wednesday nights clash.I would take Gerry out, I wouldnt have had them for Game III, Harrigan said.I thought (Gavin) Badger deserves his go. Hes been the best referee all year. Discount Nike Epic React . 10 Texas A&Ms offence dominated as usual against SMU.

The Los Angeles Galaxy cannot allow Saturdays disappointing loss at New York City FC to linger into a very winnable road game at the last-place Chicago Fire on Wednesday night at Toyota Park.The Galaxy (9-4-11) are in fifth place in the Western Conference standings with 38 points. They have a six-point lead over sixth-place Portland, but need to find a way to post a win.

Weve got 10 games left to go, and we havent won in a while. Itd be good for our confidence to get this victory on the road before we get back to L.A.The Fire (5-11-7) would need a remarkable turnaround down the stretch to reach the playoffs.

We approach every game the same, and we will do all necessary adjustments that we have to do in order to prepare well and win the game.The Galaxy are 3-0-2 at Toyota Park since 2009, but have been out of sync on the offensive side of the pitch, de Jong said.We have to improve offensively to score goals and win games, the Galaxy midfielder told reporters. We were struggling a bit against New York in the delivery into the final third. We just need to improve. We have to turn around very quick because we need good results.This will be the only meeting between the two teams this season.
