St George Illawarra Dragons coach Dean Young was left "confused" over some of the refereeing deicisons made in his side's loss to the Canberra Raiders.

The Red V made the road trip down to the nation's capital to build on their heartbreaking loss to Newcastle last week, but have come up just short.

Young was critical of a decision at the start of the Raiders clash, where a change of possession was ruled as a 20-metre restart despite camera angles suggesting Xavier Savage pushed Valentine Holmes in the back.

"I'm confused by that one because when they're saying two people are competing for the ball, that's normally when you've got two people side by side competing for the ball, but Savage was behind Val," Young said in his post-match press conference.
