‘That is not a try’: Controversial Bunker call after Ricky’s ‘brutal’ mid-game move in Raiders win

Xavier Savage's two intercept tries led Canberra Raiders to a controversial 24-16 win over the Dragons on Sunday.

Fox League

Two Xavier Savage intercept tries has proven the difference for the Canberra Raiders, who bumbled their way to victory against the Dragons on Sunday afternoon.

Canberra's 24-16 win was telling of both team's lowly position on the NRL ladder but wasn't without controversy.

Savage's second try left Fox League commentator Cooper Cronk speechless when it appeared that teammate Simi Sasagi knocked Kyle Flanagan's pass on before the Raiders winger embarked on his 80-metre scoring effort.

The Bunker refused to intervene on the play, as a bemused Daniel Atikinson and Clinton Gutherson protested with on-field referee Ziggy Przeklasa-Adamski.
