A local rugby league referee has roasted a young, lippy player in a Northern New South Wales coast derby – throwing classic insults at the Ballina back after he kept ‘having a go’ at the sideline official.
The Murwillumbah Mustangs beat the Ballina Seagulls 20-10 on July 17, but a hilarious blow up between player and touch judge stole the show in the under 18’s match-up.
After a Mustang try in the 60th minute of the match, the touch judge is seen walking over to Ballina’s centre, with hands on hips.
‘Number four, that’s the third time you’ve had a go at me mate!,’ the touchie yelled.
‘You haven’t touched the ball, you’ve missed multiple tackles, don’t say another word.’
The cracking stitch-up was posted to the Bloke in a Bar Instagram page with the caption: ‘Bruh. The refs didn’t have to do him like that. SOUND ON.’

NRL players flocked to the post, commenting on the blatant annihilation.

‘(Goat emoji) Ref,’ Knights second-rower Jack Johns commented.
The local laugh is a rare referee back chat, seen before a few times in the NRL.
