Ricky Stuart criticizes NRL refs, blames confusion on decisions made by higher authorities in league.
Raiders coach Ricky Stuart has once again taken aim at the NRL's powerbrokers, claiming referees are "confused" by the "noise" being made by higher-ups.
After a captain's challenge, the Bunker referee deemed Cook instead had control of the ball and kicked it forward before collecting it on his way to the tryline.
Stuart took aim at two decisions made by Grant Atkins, but immediately deferred blame from the on-field referee and instead pointed it further up the chain.
The first was Adam Cook's try that was denied after he was deemed to have knocked the ball on in clear space in the first half.
