A stunning decision by video referee Eddie Ward will come under close scrutiny after the Sharks escaped with a 22-12 win over Auckland in their National Rugby League match at Toyota Park.
Trailing 10-6 at halftime, the Warriors looked to be right back in the game when halfback Stacey Jones slammed the ball down under the posts four minutes after the break.
But Ward disallowed the try despite replays appearing to confirm that a game-levelling try had been scored.
Auckland was entitled to feel cheated when the decision went against it, particularly after Sharks winger Mat Rogers had scored an equally controversial try in the fourth minute.
Two tries in the final quarter gave the Sharks the result they needed to stay in touch with the top-eight.
