THE day will surely come when clubs will consider their legal options over the more costly refereeing mistakes. The NRL is a business as much as a sport. Winning is everything.

As a result of Friday night’s refereeing, the Raiders are officially out of the running for the finals.

It will cost them around 3000 fans at their next home game.

It could cost them sponsorship bonuses and merchandise sales. Even membership sales for 2019.

Potentially it could be worth hundreds of thousands of dollars.
