‘How much are they paying you?’

CONTROVERSY overshadowed Parramatta's heavy loss to the Storm, with Chris Sandow sent to the sin-bin midway through the second half after allegedly asking referee Ben Cummins how much he was getting paid.

The cheeky quip was not caught by the audio during Fox Sports' coverage of the game, but Cummins repeated the line after signalling for Sandow to leave the field.

BILLY EQUALS ET IN STORM ROUT

"Go for 10, you know what you said," Cummins told Sandow before Eels skipper Jarryd Hayne asked for an explanation.

"He's told me how much are they paying me, he can go and sit down."

The sin-binning was a huge turning point in the game, with the Storm blowing out their 24-16 lead with three tries while Sandow was off the field.

Cummins has been on the end of some heavy criticism over the past few weeks, particularly for the job he and Shayne Hayne did in State of Origin I.

Cummins was retained for Origin II but it hasn't taken long for the spotlight to return after Parramatta's frustration about a number of 50-50 calls going against them reached boiling point.

Throughout the course of the Storm-Eels clash, the referees were the main discussion point on Twitter, with Eels fans clearly feeling aggrieved by the way the game was being officiated.

Should Chris Sandow have been sin-binned?

And Twitter really blew up after the sin-binning with some criticising Cummins for overreacting while others questioned the discipline of Sandow.

Meanwhile, Nate Myles was also sin binned for backchat in the Titans' tight loss to the Dragons, raising the possibility a directive had been given by referees boss Tony Archer to crack down on dissent.
