MERRICK MAINTAINS SUPPORT OF VAR

Ernie Merrick has reiterated his support for the VAR, but says how it’s used needs to change.

The Jets coach believes the Phoenix was robbed of a goal yesterday when Sarpreet Singh was called for handball, however, he says Wellington’s penalty was farcical.

Merrick wasn’t unhappy with Newcastle’s performance in the 2-1 loss, and managed to retain his cheeky sense of humour.
