RL:Bennett blasts bunker as big miss adds to Bunnies' pain

An angry Wayne Bennett has teed off at the bunker after the NRL's video review system failed to pick up on a blatant handling error in South Sydney's loss to Manly.

The Sea Eagles won 28-14 at Four Pines Park on Thursday to condemn the Bunnies to a third-straight defeat but Bennett's side were well in the game and trailed 10-8 up until Clayton Faulalo crossed in the 49th minute.

There was nothing wrong with the fullback's put-down but Manly forward Ben Trbojevic clearly fumbled the ball prior to Faulalo's try.

Referee Adam Gee did not notice the error and neither did the bunker and the try was awarded, which left Bennett seeing red.

"He didn't play the ball properly, did he? It's as simple as that, they pay all this money for the bunker and we still don't get it right," Bennett said.
