Referee demoted after horror mistake

Salford’s 9-8 victory over Huddersfield last weekend was marred by one huge error from referee Scott Mikalauskas.

Salford played over half of the game with 12 men as James Greenwood was handed his marching orders on 34 minutes, but it was fullback Dan Sarginson who was the culprit of a high shot on Giants’ Adam O’Brien.

Instead of officiating a Super League game this weekend, Mikalauskas has been demoted to the Championship where he will now referee Bradford’s clash with Widnes.
