The NRL's referees boss will review Friday night's match between Cronulla and Gold Coast after a blunder by the whistle blower in the second half of the Sharks 20-16 loss.
Minutes into the second 40 minutes with Cronulla down 12-0 and on the attack on the Titans' line, Kayal Iro hit the ball up on the fourth tackle.
Following Iro's tackle, referee Ziggy Przeklasa-Adams raised his arm to signal the fifth tackle for the Sharks, robbing them of another tackle on the opposition tryline.

The Titans extended their lead by two points with the goal.
The Sharks came back late in the second half, applying pressure in the final minutes but fell short by a solitary try in the end.
