A stray iPhone has forced NRL referee Grant Atkins to briefly halt play between the Sydney Roosters and Canterbury Bulldogs. During the first half, a pitch invader stormed onto the field at Industree Group Stadium. The woman ran straight past the play, which caused a stoppage while security dealt with her. But the drama didn’t end there. Shortly after play restarted, Atkins stopped the play again when he found a phone, presumably belonging the intruder. “We have got a whistle, there’s a phone.
In the first half, he threw the last pass to Dom Young that helped Easts to their first try from a scrum play, then threaded a kick through the line for Nat Butcher. Nat Butcher was one to profit from Sam Walker’s class in the rain. When Skelton spilt the ball during the first set after halftime, the visitors were in position to extend their lead through when Walker kicked for Terrell May - immense with 213 run metres.
