In a game that had fans on the edge of their seats, Nicho Hynes proved to be the shining star for the Sharks as they clawed their way back against the Raiders.

The match was not without controversy, with Bunker decisions once again causing frustration among NRL fans.

Ricky Stuart was left seething as the Raiders let slip an 18-0 lead in the first half, eventually succumbing to a 36-point onslaught from the Sharks.

Kayal Iro's try in the 57th minute added fuel to the fire, with replays suggesting a possible knock-on that went unnoticed by the Bunker.

Iro's moment of glory was clouded by suspicion as he appeared to lose control of the ball while scoring.

Despite the Bunker's confirmation of the try, many fans were left scratching their heads as to how such a crucial moment could have been overlooked in a game where every decision is scrutinized.

As the scores remained deadlocked at 18-all, the missed call only added to the drama of an already intense match.

With sporting cliches flying left and right, NRL fans were left to ponder the age-old question of whether luck truly favors the brave in the game of Rugby League.
