The Canberra Times

Queensland forward Josh Kerr has been sanctioned by the NRL after comments he made about referee Ashley Klein following the State of Origin series decider.

The 29-year-old, who was 20th man for the Maroons in their 24-12 win, spoke the morning after the win and said "the game's rorted", and referred to Klein as a "double agent".

Dolphins prop Kerr, who likes to crack jokes, had his tongue in cheek with the comments, but they were not well received by the NRL.
