NRL head of football Graham Annesley says it's important to protect playmakers and he'll act if he sees an issue.

The Raiders have again raised concerns over the way Wighton's treated, with coach Ricky Stuart having spoken about it two months ago as well.

Clearly they feel like nothing has changed, with Raiders assistant coach Andrew McFadden saying it was clearly a tactic being used on their five-eighth.

Wighton's kick chase following his own kicks is a massive strength of the NSW Blue and he's constantly the target of late hits.

McFadden revealed the Raiders' frustrations following their 36-8 victory over the Brisbane Broncos at Canberra Stadium on Saturday.

Canberra players were clearly perplexed when he was taken out late after a kick in the second half.

"I know it's definitely been brought up [with the NRL]," McFadden said.

"Every week we get the feedback that, 'We're onto it", but every week Jack gets taken off the ball and nothing really happens.

"It's clearly a tactic of opposition teams because he's such a great kick chaser and to be fair we'd like something done about it."

Annesley said if they noticed anything during their weekly review on Monday then they would act.

He said the rules were in place and it was up to the match officials to use those rules if they felt it was warranted.

While not commenting specifically on Wighton, Annesley said it was important those rules were used to protect playmakers and kickers in the game.

"There are rules around late contact on any player, but the interpretation for that is a matter for the officials on the field, the match review committee and ultimately the judiciary panel should something get to that point," he said.

"We're very cognisant of the need to protect playmakers and kickers and that's why the rules are in place.

"I review everything across the course of the weekend and we haven't had our discussions about [Monday] at this stage, but of course if it's an issue it will be looked at."

McFadden felt a similar crackdown to what has been done with escorts was warranted.

He said that had led to a fairer contest for high kicks and he felt cleaning up late shots on kickers was another area that deserved the same respect.

"Teams have just got to be penalised. They've done a great job, the NRL, in allowing a contest now on kicks - they've taken away the escorts," McFadden said.

"If escort players impede the attacking teams they get penalised and it should be the same for the kickers - particularly someone like Jack who is so lethal with it.

"It's clearly a tactic. We've noticed it right throughout the season."

The Raiders were also left scratching their head when Wighton had a try disallowed for obstruction from hooker Siliva Havili - when Havili had just passed the ball.

McFadden didn't know what Havili was meant to do.

It wasn't like he was a decoy runner who had gone into the line and taken a defender out.

Annesley said they would review it on Monday.

"It's a hard one. We're a little bit confused. 'Liva' had the ball and passed it and I'm not sure where he goes then," McFadden said.

"It's a different one to where support runners go through the line - Siliva actually had the ball.

"We'll have to get some clarification on that. It's a bit confusing."
