Raiders star Hudson Young faces two-match ban for high tackle in Storm victory

Raiders star Hudson Young faces a two-match ban after a late high tackle on Storm fullback Sua Fa’alogo on Friday night.

The Raiders got home 26-22 against the Storm but could be without Young for the next couple of weeks after he was charged with a grade two careless high tackle.

Zac Hosking’s late four-pointer was cancelled after the replay found Young’s tackle in the lead-up was illegal.

If Young chooses to fight the charge and loses at the judiciary, he could face three games out.

That potentially leaves Ricky Stuart short of two stars ahead of the clash with the Tigers on Thursday, with Josh Papalii doubtful due to a calf injury.

Elsewhere, the Dolphins’ Kodi Nikorima also faces a two match suspension for dangerous contact on Penrith’s Mitch Kenny.

If he challenges the charge and loses he will be out for three matches.

For the Raiders, Ricky Stuart was still left confused by the state of officiating, taking aim at the NRL Bunker after Canberra was denied twice because of the video referee.

With the Raiders up 12-0, Young crossed the line but his try was disallowed after a lengthy replay found an accidental offside. The second was Hosking’s score which was rubbed out due to Young’s high tackle.

Stuart was asked what goes through his head when calls like the Young no-try are made.

“Negativity,” Stuart said.

“What stands out to me is after the back end of the season last year, it’s very hard to cheer after a try.

“I find it myself, I used to go off like a bloody idiot, scoring tries and whatnot. Unless it’s an intercept or whatnot, it’s hard to cheer because you think, oh well okay, was he onside? Did he hit him high? I mean, I suppose that’s what the Bunker’s there for.”

The league’s head of football, Graham Annesley, previously said the bunker “over-adjudicated” last round, admitting some disruptor calls should not have been penalised.

Stuart also pointed to the ruck interpretation and how Friday night’s officiating was different to the rest of the season.

“The whole game was like last year,” Stuart added.

“Everything at the ruck changed tonight. If you go back and have a look at all the work on the ground, it was different and we probably got a better spectacle.

“But it would be nice to know if we’re going back to or what we’re going to. What we need to see on the ground after the tackle.

“I don’t want to sound like I’m complaining, but it’s hard. It’s hard as a coach when you work into one interpretation and another one happens tonight.

“And I’m not blaming Peter, the referee. I don’t blame the referees at all, because they’re being coached in a certain way.

“But it was certainly a completely different game tonight on the ground, where so much of the football is played after tackles. But it was completely different.

“I’d prefer it that way, but I’d prefer it to be the same for both.

“I felt there was a lot more time in the tackle on the ground tonight in a number of certain tackles. But it’d be just nice to know if that’s going to be the way we’re going forward.”

Speaking on Friday ahead of Souths’ game against St George Illawarra at Accor Stadium, Wayne Bennett threw his support behind the new interpretation of the ruck.

“There is no doubt it’s a game changer,” he said.

“But we’ve got a game that’s full of entertainment right now. There are some wonderful tries being scored, great ball movement. Do we go back where we had grapples and all the other terms for different types of tackles that we were making to hold players down?

“I don’t want to go back to that. We suffered for over a decade with that, and I don’t want to go back there.”
