St George Illawarra Dragons interim coach Dean Young has expressed his bewilderment regarding several contentious officiating decisions during his team's recent loss to the Raiders.
Amidst numerous controversial calls, the moment that stood out to Young occurred early in the match when Valentine Holmes contested a ball with multiple Raiders defenders.
Following a break down the left flank, Clinton Gutherson sent a kick into open space, prompting Holmes to sprint in an attempt to recover the ball within the in-goal area against three defenders.
Though he was close to scoring and grounding the ball for the first try, it appeared that Xavier Savage pushed him from behind, which seemed to hinder Holmes' momentum as he reached to place the ball down.
Instead of receiving a penalty or a penalty try, the play was ultimately ruled a 20-metre restart.
