Another week another horrible referee blunder costing a team a win. Especially harsh since the Titans were beaten the previous week from giving away a penalty in this exact same scenario.

crikey, was such a close game as well. I tipped parra so I'm not as annoyed as Titans fans would be.

Pretty huge potential to be a season ending stuff up by the refs for the titans too. The ladder is so packed this year that missing out on 2 points like that is huge.

Painful for us Cowboys too - we'd be ahead of the Eels and inside the top 8 without that ref mistake.

I also don't understand why RCG was only sin binned for deliberately jumping with onto a player's back with his knees first after the tackle had been completed. Chris Randall was lucky to avoid spending the rest of his life in a wheelchair and RCG should have been sent off. Titans had a game stolen off them for sure.

Yeah the RCG knees were so obviously illegal and he's now going to be sitting on the sidelines for a month, and all he gets is a sin bin? The refs just don't know what they're doing.
