Contentious calls angered league greats as Raiders lost 32-12 to Knights, with a denied try and player suspension affecting the match.
A series of contentious calls left league greats angered after the Raiders were denied a try and reduced to 12 men in a heated showing against the Knights on Sunday.
Newcastle delivered a promising performance in front of their home crowd to defeat the 2025 minor premiers 32-12, but they did not do so without controversy.
The hosts entered the second half with a four-point advantage and a debutant on the field, with star centre Bradman Best ruled out of the game with a groin injury.
"It won't be a penalty try, but it is a professional foul," Andrew Johns said on Nine.
