Numerous coaches have complained about a critical decision on game day and referenced a Monday mea culpa from Annesley, such as Knights coach Adam O’Brien’s “Graham will find a way to dress it up”, following a field goal drama against Cronulla last year. “It felt like self-flagellation for Graham by the end,” one club chief executive said on the condition of anonymity in order to speak freely. NRL chief executive Andrew Abdo confirmed the change, with football matters to be addressed by head office on a case-by-case basis.
