Yesterday Canterbury Bulldogs snapped their losing run with a win away at St George Illawarra Dragons.
Before the game Cameron Ciraldo made a big call in dropping Kyle Flanagan and giving a first start to former Hull FC star Josh Reynolds.
Reynolds was typically at the heart of a gutsy win but had an altercation with the official at halftime.
Reynolds slammed a decision as “bullsh*t” and was subsequently brought over to the referee Grant Atkins.
He and skipper Reed Mahoney were brought over with Atkins addressing Mahoney about Reynolds.
“I beg your pardon. Come out here. Don’t say a word.” Atkins said upon hearing Reynolds’ response.
“If this bloke speaks to me like this again, he goes. Take that ten minutes now to work it out. If he comes at me about anything, he goes.”
