“I’ve had a look at that particular decision from four different camera angles and my judgement is that the ball did deflect off a Canberra player,which meant that six tackles should not have been awarded,” Annesley said.

“The referee initially ruled six again and then one of his touch judges and the assist referee immediately tell him that it’s come off a Canberra player.
“He corrects his initial call and then in the space of the remaining play he calls ‘last tackle’ on at least four occasions before the play breaks down.
“It’s obviously very messy and very disappointing for the game as a whole that we’re now talking about an incident in which they actually got the decision right,but they got it right in a way that has created an enormous amount of controversy.
