Meanwhile back at HQ, the NRL has admitted a rare Referee’s error in the Manly-Souths game on Saturday after the Sea Eagles were denied a try by Referee Chris Sutton for a forward pass. However, on replay there was no forward pass. So on Monday NRL Head of Football Graham Annesley said the Ref was wrong. In rugby union – former Fiji 7s player, Fiji Bati and NRL star, Jarryd Hayne has been described as a man who “would never force himself in a sexual way upon a woman” as his 11-day NSW District Court trial comes to an end before the jury retire to deliberate.
