THE video referee who blundered by awarding Manly a dubious try on Friday night is expected to be dumped on Tuesday.
The Daily Telegraph understands Paul Mellor will be dropped when the round eight appointments for this weekend are released on Tuesday afternoon.
And the development comes as Newcastle coach Wayne Bennett added some balance by declaring: "It's easy to criticise and find fault but it's always harder to come up with the right answers."

North Queensland remain filthy the final, match-winning try to Sea Eagles star Kieran Foran was allowed despite an obvious obstruction by team-mate Jamie Buhrer on Cowboys' Ray Thompson.
The drama was part of a horror weekend for referees and video referees. At least four incidents were contentious, Melbourne copping a rough call when they had what appeared a legitimate try disallowed against Canberra on Sunday.
The video referee for that match, Luke Phillips, will survive though for this weekend.
NRL referee's boss, Tony Archer, was not commenting on Monday until after the full round had been completed.
"If he (Mellor) does get dropped it is of no consolation to us," said North Queensland general manager, football, Peter Parr. "We would prefer he gets the decisions right and not to get dropped.

"I haven't met one person yet that thought it was a try. It's hard to fathom.
"We can't understand how the video referee thought it was a try when, in our opinion, it was clear cut.
"That is something we are struggling to come to terms with. How does he come up with a try when everybody in the game said it was no try?
"How he came up with a different interpretation is hard to comprehend. It would be possible to handle if it was one-off.
"But, for us, clearly that's not the case, not withstanding we still had chances to win the game. But it was a massive call."

Bennett entered the refereeing debate on Monday when asked whether he favoured the system where a referee will offer his opinion on a try before then opting to use the video referee.
"I think they smoke-screened it a lot last year," Bennett said.
"They made out they had found the perfect system when they got rid of the benefit of the doubt but there is no perfect system.
"Maybe we do need to look at it in the sense of the referee, in some cases, not making a decision. Maybe just some of them should just go straight up to the video referee and with all the evidence before them and make a decision. Just go straight to the video bloke and say try or no try and we have to live with that."

Asked was he in favour of a centralised video referee system, Bennett said: "I am down the track, yeah. I think it will happen. I hope it will happen.
"We'll still have those moments of controversy. There is no perfect system. We have made things more perfect but nothings perfect.
"It's sport, it's all the unknown. That's why we love it."
