That would never happen with betting. Also the referee stuffed up by not penalising for an escort during the game (Tiger player clearly ran from the side line in front of Feldt before moving towards the ball). If we're going to reverse the bunker not being allowed to make a decision on a referees F up why don't we just correct the referees mistake in the game too which would result with Cowboys winning anyways.
On NRL360 last night they showed that the Tigers player was headed in the direction of the ball which is OK.

You can see Feldt having a sneaky look see at where Tigers winger was before the unfortunate unforeseen collision

We're $501 to win the competition for a reason. I said last week on another thread that I thought we could win 6 out of our last 7 matches and have won one of those with our win over the Titans on Sunday.

We can finish the season on 22 points which won't be enough to make the finals unfortunately but it gives us momentum heading into 2023. Only game I can't see us winning is against the Sharks as it's at Pointsbet and they're extremely hard to beat at home.

Knights are shot with no Ponga in their side, they were bad enough with him in over the weekend but now they're history.

Feel we can upset the Cowboys who have over achieved this year and seeing how the Tigers played against them this is a very winnable game for us.

Warriors have the 2nd worse defence in the competition only 9 points behind Knights so that should be another win even allowing for it being at Mt Smart Stadium.

Eels are hard to beat at home which is where we meet them in Round 23 but feel the Eels are in real danger of missing the 8. They've been ordinary when playing weak teams and smashed when meeting the top sides. We lift against them and smashed them earlier this year but they will be a lot harder to beat at home. Still it's a very winnable game for us.

Sharks in round 24 isn't a game I'm confident of winning as they're potentially a top 4 team and are extremely hard to beat at home. Only hoping for win in this one.

In the last game of the season we play Manly and I can't see us losing this one. No Turbo and dissention amongst the playing ranks due to the pride jersey saga. I can see them drop right off in their remaining games. We're specials in this game.

Look, do I think we can make the finals? No. But how good does it feel that there’s a mathematical chance and every try we score we celebrate like it can take us somewhere. Next season can’t come quick enough. But for now, let’s live in hope

Lloyd Christmas had a better chance than us making the Finals. :-)

After the pride jersey saga Manly aren’t in the top 8 now and will fall further down the ladder as players there now know where they stand on such an emotive issue. Their season is effectively over. They the club want to virtue signal and be all inclusive with minority groups but don’t feel the need to include their very own players on what they were planning on doing.

That’s F’N insane!

Down to 3 maybe for 8th, haven't checked their respective draws but the Roosters may be in the box seat, Raiders and Dragons who play each other in a few weeks are the other two.Dragons will drop off I reckon have 3 tough games in a row.

We could always hope and pray one of the top teams (Broncos, Sharks, Cowboys) has breached the salary cap. Then we’re a $301-1 shot! How exciting!

As long as we end up higher on the ladder than the knights I'll take it.

The fact we are even a 1% chance of making the eight from where we started the season is a massive win for me. I would have put my house on us being back to back spooners 10 rounds in. well done to Mick and the players that contributed.

Huh, a pittance compared to the 38 years between 1942 and 1980. Not that I was around for all of it, just most of it.

we are halfway there in terms of a premiership drought and 8 wins across 2 and a half seasons was excruciating
