'They just make it hard for themselves': Pay slams 'ridiculous' penalty count

Bulldogs coach Dean Pay wasn’t thrilled with the refereeing in his side’s loss to the Brisbane Broncos.

Working alongside Ben Cummins, the match saw Belinda Sharpe become the first female to referee an NRL game.

The Bulldogs were put to the sword by 22 points as they conceded five tries and failed to score in the second half.

However, while stressing it wasn’t an excuse for his side’s poor display, Pay slammed the lopsided penalty count which has been a trend for the Bulldogs’ season.

The Bulldogs conceded seven penalties compared to the Broncos’ three.

Pay also blasted the decision to award Broncos winger Corey Oates a penalty try in the final minutes.
