NRL referee Kasey Badger demoted after missed offside call in heated golden-point clash.
The NRL has axed the referee at the centre of a war of words between veteran coaches Des Hasler and Ricky Stuart as the fallout continues after a tense golden-point clash.
Kasey Badger has been demoted from her on-field role for round seven. She will be a touch judge in the Dragons-Warriors game on Friday before taking a place in the bunker for the Raiders-Broncos game on Saturday.
NRL head of football Graham Annesley on Monday conceded Badger missed a crucial offside call that should have gone against the Canberra Raiders in golden point on Sunday night.
