NRL head of officiating Graham Annesley has announced that the four officials from the Eels vs Warriors game will be relegated for round 20.

The officials in question made several major errors including missing two stripping calls and a missing a knock-on from each side.

The poor decisions made by the referees ultimately influenced the result of the game with Warriors coach Stephen Kearney notably frustrated in his post-match press conference.

The on-field referees (Chris Sutton and Chris Buttler) and two touch judges (Clayton Sharpe and Adam Cassidy) will not officiate an NRL game for the next round as a punishment for the mistakes made.
