Canberra Raiders coach Ricky Stuart is a role model for the game for the way he reacted to the refereeing blunder that cost his team a shot at the NRL premiership. Outgoing ARL chairman Peter Beattie understood how Raiders fans felt about the controversy that surrounded the Sydney Roosters' 14-8 victory at Sydney Olympic Park on Sunday night. But he said the referees got the decision right - eventually. It all came about when referee Ben Cummins incorrectly called six again following a contested kick, only to then change his decision. Clive Churchill Medallist Jack Wighton didn't hear the changed call and was shocked when forced to hand the ball back to the Roosters - when he had ample opportunity to kick if he had known.
