When questioned, Sutton told the Wahs: \u201cThat\u2019s not my problem. If the buzzer goes and you haven\u2019t kicked it, it\u2019s a penalty.\u201d<\/p>\n
Webster has ruthlessly hit out at the call during his post-match press conference, revealing Harris-Tavita asked how long was left due to the big screen showing an advertisement.<\/p>\n
The Wahs coach said: \u201cIt was a dropout. Chanel says to the referee there was an advertisement on the screen. He says, \u2018Ref, how long have I got? I can\u2019t see the clock\u2019. He says, \u2018You\u2019ve got five seconds\u2019.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe kicks it in two and as he\u2019s kicking it, the siren goes off, blows his whistle, gives a penalty, two points straight in front. And then they question, and he says, \u2018Not my fault\u2019.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo (it) gifted them two points because professionalism around they don\u2019t even know how long to go.\u201d<\/p>\n
An infuriated Webster continued: \u201cWhen you ask the question, because you can\u2019t see it on the clock, and the response is, \u2018You\u2019ve got five seconds\u2019, and you kick it in two\u2026 I never blow up. That\u2019s embarrassing.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf the referee tells you you\u2019ve got five seconds and you kick it in two. Five minus two is three. They\u2019ve got three seconds left\u2026 when the referee tells you that, and then he\u2019s the one that penalises you, surely common sense is let\u2019s do a re-do there. Something\u2019s gone wrong, or you say just play on. Common sense.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Defeat to the Sharks leaves the Warriors six points adrift of leaders Penrith, and just two ahead of the Knights in seventh.<\/p>\n
And while Webster was happy to give the Sharks credit for their performance, he also took one final jibe at the ref Sutton for what he believes was unprofessionalism.<\/p>\n
He said: \u201cThe Sharks were awesome tonight. Both teams were awesome. But you just don\u2019t need this.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf someone makes a bad refereeing decision or a call, they thought it was forward and it wasn\u2019t, that stuff happens.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut when we can\u2019t even get the game clock right, I don\u2019t know, that\u2019s just the most unprofessional thing for the game I\u2019ve ever seen.\u201d<\/p>\n
