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.

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

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.

On the fifth tackle, Jamal Fogarty kicked to the corner with Xavier Savage tackled by Fletcher Hunt but getting a pass away. The ball went back to the middle of the field and Starling ran through a huge hole.
