Benji Marshall criticized NRL officiating standards as Wests Tigers' Api Koroisau faces suspension, potentially affecting his State of Origin hopes after a sin-bin incident.
Benji Marshall has lashed out at the standard of NRL officiating as his Wests Tigers' co-captain Api Koroisau faces a potential suspension that could take the gloss off their hot start to 2026.
Koroisau's bid to win a recall for NSW's State of Origin side hangs in the balance after the hooker was sin-binned for a possible hip-drop tackle and placed on report for a dangerous throw by referee Ashley Klein in Thursday's 33-14 win over Canberra.
Fijian international Koroisau has already been cited three times this season for dangerous contact and is staring at a ban if his name appears on the NRL's match review committee's charge sheet on Friday morning.
