Controversial Try Awarded to Sea Eagles Sparks Debate and Confusion

In a controversial turn of events, the Sea Eagles have been awarded a “contentious” try after a knock-on by Tommy Talau was seemingly ignored by referee Todd Smith. The incident occurred just minutes before the end of the first half, when Talau failed to intercept a pass from Dylan Edwards, leading to a breakaway try by Tolu Koula.

Commentator Dan Ginnane was left stunned by the decision, questioning how the on-field referee could have missed the blatant knock-on. Former player Corey Parker also expressed his disbelief, stating that it was clear to everyone watching that the play should have been called back.

As replays were shown, it became evident that Talau had indeed knocked the ball forward, leading to further confusion and frustration among spectators. The controversial call overshadowed the game and left many questioning the integrity of the officiating.
