The captain's challenge saved referee Ben Cummins from another controversial finish involving the Canberra Raiders, who have held on to defeat North Queensland 14-12 in Townsville.
Officiating his first Raiders match since the contentious six-again ruling in last year's grand final, Cummins blew a penalty for offside with the Raiders clinging to a two-point lead.
Cummins ruled Canberra prop Dunamis Lui was offside when he dived on a loose ball after a kick, which would have given the Cowboys a shot at goal from 10 metres out and just off centre to level the scores.
