NRL referees boss Tony Archer has admitted the match officials should have denied the Roosters their match-winning try against the Panthers on Saturday night.

"From the vision you can see that the touch judge is in good position to rule on the pass," Archer said.

"After reviewing all the available angles and slowing the play up, I have determined that the pass is forward.

"It's my expectation that the referees should have ruled that way."
