The Wests Tigers are left fuming after being on the wrong end of a controversial Bunker call that had fans and commentators scratching their heads.

It was a gut-wrenching moment for the Tigers, who just can't seem to catch a break lately.

Despite showing some promise earlier in the season with two consecutive wins, their hopes are fading fast as they suffered a tough 34-10 defeat to the Brisbane Broncos.

The Tigers put up a strong fight in the first half, with hooker Api Koroisau pulling off a classic No.

9 move that looked like a certain try to bring the score to 10-6.

However, the Bunker intervened and ruled that Koroisau had lost control of the ball before grounding it, much to the frustration of the Tigers and their supporters.

Former player Michael Ennis, now a pundit on Fox League, highlighted Koroisau's impact on the game, noting that the hooker has been a key player for the Tigers.

The decision left many baffled, with Ennis pointing out the subtle skill and deception used by Koroisau to get over the line.

In the world of rugby league, every point matters, and this controversial call could have a significant impact on the Tigers' season.

But as they say in the game, you win some, you lose some.

The Tigers will need to regroup and bounce back stronger from this setback if they want to climb up the ladder and salvage their season.
