Newcastle’s Daniel Saifiti appeared to score off the eighth play in a seven-tackle set as South Sydney’s season was left on the brink.
The NRL will review a potential tackle count blunder in which Newcastle scored a crucial try off an extra play as South Sydney’s season was left on the brink on Sunday.
In the aftermath of the Knights’ seventh straight win which has them on the cusp of an unlikely finals berth, video evidence has shown Daniel Saifiti scoring a try off a potential eight-tackle set. Whistleblower Grant Atkins waved for a seven tackle set after the Rabbitohs kicked the ball over the dead ball line during the second half. Then, after marching up the field, Saifiti dived on a Phoenix Crossland grubber on the eighth play to extend Newcastle’s lead., leaving the Rabbitohs having to win a final round match against arch-rivals the Roosters to make the finals.
The officiating incident came as South Sydney fullback Latrell Mitchell was sin-binned in the final minutes for striking Newcastle back-rower Tyson Frizell.
