Blaming a team mate for the ref reacting...pure class..

Speaking on Friday morning to the Herald and The Age, Foley explained what occurred from his perspective.

“There was a lot of confusion throughout the game,” Foley said. “I wasn’t trying to slow it down, but I was just trying to get really clear and concise about what we were trying to do at that next lineout.

“At the end it was very loud in the stadium, but there was no sense there was going to be a call like that.”

Replays showed Foley’s teammate Lalakai Foketi, who had just won a crucial turnover penalty, yelling at his No.10 to kick the ball.

“I think Lalakai maybe got a reaction from the ref,” Foley said. “In my dealings with [Raynal], he asked [me] to hurry up but had turned the clock off. He never told me he turned it back on or there would be other repercussions.
