Manly Sea Eagles' coach Des Hasler is criticising referee Chris James after Manly's 14-6 NRL win over the Warriors at Mt Smart Stadium in Auckland.
Sea Eagles fullback Ben Farrar was sent to the sin bin for a professional foul with 10 minutes to go in the first half, but Hasler said James over reacted.
"It was an inexperienced call from an inexperienced referee but he'll learn from it."
Despite being a man down, Manly led six-nil at halftime. Jerome Ropati leveled the scores for the Warriors before his New Zealand teammate Steve Matai scored a controversial match winner with 13 minutes to play.
