Stuart criticizes officiating in loss to Sea Eagles, Rothfield suggests bias in referee decisions.
Raiders coach Ricky Stuart teed off at officiating in his side's 40-12 loss to the Sea Eagles on Sunday, and veteran rugby league reporter Phil Rothfield proposed a bold theory.
Manly were awarded seven set restarts to one, had a try disallowed due to a dubious obstruction and also had Corey Horsburgh sent to the sin bin in the 20th minute.
"I'm not allowed to talk about the ref but I hope Andrew Abdo has an answer for us all," Stuart said in his post-match press conference.
