NRL Referees Coaches Stuart Raper and Bill Harrigan have today supported video referee Steve Clark in his awarding of a try to the Dragons against the Titans on Saturday evening despite a Titans defender colliding with the referee.
“Steve applied the rule as it is meant to be applied,” Mr Harrigan said.
“The referee has to stand somewhere and if you were to change the rule there would be the temptation for defenders to go out and make contact with the referee.
“The sort of thing we saw on Saturday night has only occurred about three times in my time in the game and the rule has been applied the same way in each instance.”
