'You're trying hard to give this to them': Wighton in ugly referee exchange

‘You’re trying hard to give this to them’: Wighton in ugly referee exchange

The Sydney Morning Herald

Jack Wighton is the latest NRL star to be engulfed in an ugly referee exchange after accusing an official of trying hard to allow a rival team to win.

Wighton, who was penalised for a high tackle on Starford To'a in the dying moments of the Raiders' contentious 22-18 win over the Tigers on Sunday, has been charged by the match review committee for a comment he made towards referee Peter Gough.

In the exchange, Wighton said: You're trying hard to give this to them. You're trying hard. That was a good tackle.

Gough responds to Wighton by saying: If you want to stay on the field, stop.
