Newcastle’s Daniel Saifiti appeared to score off the eighth play in a seven-tackle set as South Sydney’s season was left on the brink following a brain explosion from their superstar.
South Sydney will ask the NRL for an explanation over a potential tackle count blunder in which Newcastle scored a try off an extra play as Rabbitohs coach Jason Demetriou described Latrell Mitchell’s sin-binning as “silly”.
He was sent to the sin-bin and the match review committee will decide if he is to face a charge on Monday morning. Five-eighth Tyson Gamble then tried to crash over from dummy-half amid a cluster of bodies, but Atkins then allowed Lachlan Fitzgibbon and Leo Thompson to be tackled on subsequent plays before eventually calling the last.
Frizell played down the running battle with Mitchell, who earlier inexplicably missed a conversion attempt from right next to the posts.
