Annersley has said that Sutton got that Raiders captains challenge wrong and it should have been a penalty to us (which was what the Bunker said, before Sutton said the bunker couldn't rule that way and made his own decision. here is what Annersely said on the issue:
---------
"The challenge was OK because they challenged that they didn't knock on and were allowed to mount that challenge," Annesley said on Monday.
"But it should've been a penalty to the Broncos for the interference from Jack Wighton.
"Unfortunately the referee gets involved in this and brings to the attention that the Bunker can't rule on markers, which is incorrect.
"While there can't be a challenge on the marker, the Bunker can rule on the marker.
"Originally the right decision was made and the referee shouldn't have got involved.
"The Bunker shouldn't have taken [Sutton's] advice and made its own decision, which is what we tell the Bunker to do.
"This was a mess and I admit it was a mess, but what the Bunker can rule on is different to what the players challenge on.
"Once a challenge is initiated, the Bunker can rule on other things that were not the subject of that challenge."
Head of football Graham Annesley says referee Chris Sutton shouldn't have overridden the NRL Bunker in an incident that led to mass confusion in Saturday's Raiders-Broncos clash at GIO Stadium.
