The Canberra Raiders bit their tongues and were gracious in defeat, but talk of the refereeing howler that cost his team dominated the post-match discussion. Raiders coach Ricky Stuart, co-captain Jarrod Croker and Clive Churchill Medallist Jack Wighton all refused to talk about the incident. The NRL admitted referee Ben Cummins had called six again, but it was the wrong call and that regardless of what happened from that moment they were damned. What did happen was Wighton attacked thinking they had a new set of six, with #sixagain trending on Twitter, only to get called to hand the ball over when he was tackled. On the very next set the Sydney Roosters raced the length of the field to score the match-winning try in the 14-8 victory.
