Roosters winger Brydie Parker is adamant her pink boots stopped Lili Boyle from scoring a crucial try that would have tied things up for the Raiders in Saturday night's thrilling NRLW preliminary final.

But Canberra coach Darrin Borthwick says you could find someone riding a skateboard out the front of Allianz Stadium who could do a better job in the bunker after the controversial call halted their comeback.

The Roosters eventually held on to win 20-10 to reach their third grand final in a row, but the no try ruling will dominate the discourse for the next 24 hours on a weekend where the bunker came up with two calls in the NRL that left fans stunned.
