Fired-up Wests Tigers officials have told the NRL they will “explore all options” after they were denied victory in the dying seconds of Sunday’s game against the Cowboys | SMHsport
Fired-up Wests Tigers officials want two competition points and have told the NRL they will “explore all options” after they were denied victory in the dying seconds of Sunday’s game against the Cowboys.
“We owe it to our fans and members and also to our players to ensure we voice these concerns in the strongest possible terms.” “Until we get those answers, then we will make a decision but we will explore all options. My understanding is that you can only challenge a decision if a decision has been made. There was no decision made.Getty
Deflated Wests Tigers stand-in coach Ben Gardiner said “the game was over” before the bunker intervened to gift North Queensland a great escape in a finish that left rival coach Todd Payten to admit “we got one tonight”. The Cowboys kicked off with one second remaining, and the ball was fielded by Tigers fullback Daine Laurie before he was tackled. North Queensland called for a captain’s challenge, believing Feldt had impeded by Kepaoa. Klein told referee Chris Butler to award a penalty to the Cowboys, leaving Tigers players and commentators in disbelief.
“My understanding is when the Bunker comes into play when there is a challenge made, it has to be when there is an indiscretion in the play, when there is a breakdown in the play. My understanding is we caught the ball, the game was over, and that’s where it should have ended.“I’ve been around coaching for a long time and you can get upset, you can complain, you can do all those sorts of things, but it doesn’t change anything. It was a moment of deflation, that’s for sure.
