Canberra Raiders backrower Hudson Young was binned defending his line when Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow caught him off-side at marker.
Wayne Bennett surprisingly went into bat for Young who was only able to hold Tabuai-Fidow up over the line because he wasn’t square.
“I thought the sin bin on them was pretty tough as well,” Bennett said.
“The ref didn’t have a lot of problems with the game, the players were playing within the rules pretty well, trying their hearts out and I just thought that was a pretty tough sin-binning.
“It’s a huge price to pay, 10 minutes in the bin. If they’d done two or three in row, well I understand that, but that was just a one-off marker.”
