NRL: Former Blues hooker Michael Ennis has labelled the grade one charge given to Melbourne Storms star Jahrome Hughes for making contact with the referee as 'absolute stupidity'.

The NRL’s decision to suspend Jahrome Hughes for making contact with a referee has been blasted by several past players as “absolute stupidity” and “ridiculous”.

The only place to watch every game of every round LIVE with no ad-breaks during play is Fox League, available on Kayo. New to Kayo?Butler backtracked into Hughes who pushed the official out of the way and he then successfully made the try-saving tackle to keep the scores locked at 8-8. “Rocco Berry was coming back on the inside, Hughes anticipates that, the referee gets in his eyeline, gets in his way.

Luai avoided suspension after he was only hit with a grade one charge for pushing past touch judge Chris Sutton while celebrating a Panthers try against the Broncos. “By no means should he be missing a week for making contact with a referee, maybe the referee should get a week for being in the road,” Parker said.“Nah let’s be serious here, in the game the night before, Trindall was impeded by the ref, he ran into the ref and made contact and Kikau’s try was disallowed.
