NRL fans were left confused after the NRL bunker appeared to botch a captain’s challenge called by St George.<\/p>\n
The Dragons were defeated by the Canberra Raiders 22-16 at GIO Stadium on Friday night.<\/p>\n
But the NRL may a have a case to answer after Raiders defender Michael Oldfield appeared to knock-on a cutout pass from Adam Clune in attacking territory late in the second half.<\/p>\n
With the match still in the balance, the Dragons used their captain’s challenge with replays clearly showing a knock-on.<\/p>\n Fox Sports commentator’s Steve Roach and Brenton Speed seemed certain Oldfield had made contact with the ball and knocked it on.<\/p>\n “Does the ball change in any way after it leaves Oldfield’s hands?” NRL great Steve Roach said.<\/p>\n Brenton Speed added: “It does there is a little fingertip there on the replay I see it.”<\/p>\n “More importantly does the video referee?<\/p>\n “How has it gone backwards?” Speed added.<\/p>\n “The pass has gone backwards by the Dragons so therefore it must have gone forward off Oldfield.<\/p>\n “This would be a crazy adjudication.”<\/p>\n The bunker then left fans and players scratching their heads when they said St George’s challenge was a successful one before handing possession to the Raiders.<\/p>\n “What? The Dragons challenged and they just said challenge successful. That is a shemozzle from the Bunker,” Speed said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Tags:<\/b> Marc Churches\n<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"NRL Highlights: Raiders v Dragons – Round 8<\/h2>\n
