Referees boss Bernard Sutton admitted that Canberra's lone try shouldn't have been, that Sia Soliola did commit an offence by taking out Luke Keary's legs and that the Cronk sin bin was excessive.

"Sutton conceded the decision to give Canberra six more tackles after a mid-air contest between James Tedesco and Elliot Whitehead was wrong. That decision was made at the start of the set from which Canberra’s Jack Wighton scored his side’s only try – a massive play."

"The other concession that Sutton made was also at a controversial time of the game. He said the Roosters should have received a penalty when Luke Keary was taken out by Sia Soliola when he was attempting a charge down – the charge down which resulted in the ball hitting trainer Travis Touma on the head."

"
There were three key admissions from the NRL that show the Roosters also got the rough end of the stick during the NRL’s biggest game of the year.

Sutton admitted to Robinson that Cooper Cronk being sent to the sin bin was harsh"

He hasn't admitted anything, that article is a Weidler gossip column, paid for by Uncle Nick.


There were three key admissions from the NRL that show the Roosters also got the rough end of the stick during the NRL’s biggest game of the year.

Sutton admitted to Robinson that Cooper Cronk being sent to the sin bin was harsh – hardly what you want to hear. It was a decision that placed huge pressure on the Roosters and it could have cost them the game.

Would seem they did there best to get Canberra up. The Rosters were just too good!

Enjoy that runners up prize Ricky!

It is such a shame that Nick is such a terrible golf player, you think that the money might be better spent somewhere else, like lessons??

Who cares which team was dudded worse? Biggest stage of the game and we have (at least) 4 shitty peices of refereeing. That the "referees boss" isn't using this to introduce a wide ranging plan to fix the problem is an absolute farce. How do these clowns still have jobs?

The roosters got the scrum feed after the charge down, so they were hardly dudded
In fact they scored not long after.

The fact that Robinson is crying about that and sent an email to Sutton shows he’s clutching at straws and is a massive whinger, he just won a premiership ffs

Also, Sutton saying the sin bin was harsh is not him admitting it was wrong
