Knights coach defends one big Bunker call... but ‘completely disagrees’ with another

The Knights were upset by a controversial try awarded to the Raiders despite defensive interference.

Fox League

The Knights copped a rough decision when Raiders star Tom Starling was awarded a crucial try in their 44-18 win despite teammate Simi Sasagi standing in the defensive line.

With the scores locked at 18-18 in the 47th minute, Starling slice through a gaping hole to score a try to give the Raiders the lead.

But replays showed Sasagi was standing in the defensive line and created space for Starling while impeding Phoenix Crossland from making a tackle.

"Does Crossland get impeded here?" Steve Roach said on Fox League.

"Yeah unfortunately Sasagi just plants himself there," Warren Smith added.

However, the Bunker ruled that the Knights defenders chose not to make an attempt at a tackle.
