There was no stoppage in play there should not of been a challenge the game clock was zero “0” they tried to reset the clock to 1 second it was on the screen … Rip Off !
Sheens needs to be on the phone to the NRL now. That is a shameful decision.
I don't blame ref's very often but....
They were offside
There was no breka in play, so they can't ask for a review
Ven if they could they asked for a review well after the time had lasped
Even then, he didn't escort
........Plus we are last on the ladder and deserve a break

The NRL creates such an uphill battle for the lower teams.
There's a lot to digest. Someone on Facebook suggested the challenge shouldn't have been allowed - this is what's allowed:
the captain’s challenge is only permitted to contest a decision by the referee. They include:
- Offside - kick chase
- Re-start infringements
- Stealing the ball
- Foul play
- Obstruction
- Mid-air tackle
Incidents not detected by the match officials can't be challenged if there is no stoppage and players cannot deliberately force play to stop so they can call for a captain's challenge.
Based on the last sentence, the challenge was illegal because the referee hadn't stopped play nor made a decision - there was nothing to challenge. Laurie caught the ball and it's game over.
Despite this, we should have won. We missed a couple of conversions and I'm pretty disappointed Naden didn't run the ball around more on his second try - he could have almost gone under the posts.That happens we win anyway.
Perhaps the NRL should make a referee's apologies worth 2 points - I'm sure one will be coming this week. The actual decision to call it an escort was laughable - he wasn't looking at the attacking player and was running towards the ball.
None of the commentators on Nine thought it was a penalty. It's shameful.
Not even close to an escorted

That’s the thing isn’t it, what’s an apology really worth it’s just more BS from the referee’s boss it doesn’t help the team they have disadvantaged even though they admit they got it wrong.
One positive is Gardner should of been the interim coach as I wanted the boys responded .. Noddy was jobs for the boys and the players know it hence there performances for him .Gardner is a good coach and should be an assistant next season if not he will get a job easily! Having one assistant with no experience is enough not Two .
I'm still fuming
But wanted to give a big shout out to Laurie!!!
It's as if he heard my 2 major critisms of him:
- running hard on kicking return &
- backing up, down the middle
Both he was immense today and we looked a different team!
