Cam Smith and Paul Vautin were not impressed with the penalty try decision that caused a stir in the Sharks-Cowboys semi-final match.
The controversy erupted just 13 minutes into the game, with Cronulla taking a commanding 24-0 lead at halftime.
The Sharks, who have not tasted victory in the finals since 2018, seemed to be on a roll.
The first try of the match raised a few eyebrows, as both teams tested each other's defense in the early stages.
On a messy fifth tackle play, Brayden Trindall took matters into his own hands and kicked for himself with a clear path to the try line.
Despite a close call when Nicho Hynes was brought down, he managed to offload the ball to Teig Wilton, who eventually found Trindall for the try.
Smith and Vautin were quick to express their disbelief at the decision, calling it a "stitch up" and labeling it as "wrong".
The game continued with intensity, as both teams battled it out on the field.
Fans were left on the edge of their seats, eager to see which team would come out on top in this heated encounter.
