F\ufeffans and experts have been left shocked by the Bunker's failure to intervene on a Cody Walker<\/a> try as Souths<\/a> kept their season alive following a 26-14 win over the Dragons<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Many believed the five-eighth and Latrell Mitchell<\/a> were offside from a Lachlan Ilias kick, with the fullback chasing through and winning the contest before Walker finished it off.<\/p>\n

Penrith Panthers great \ufeffGreg Alexander was adamant it wouldn't be a try after it was awarded.<\/p>\n

"This won't be a try," he said on Fox League when reviewing footage.<\/p>\n

The four-pointer was then confirmed, with Alexander left stunned.<\/p>\n

"Has Latrell got both feet behind the ball? Not on your life," he said.\ufeff<\/p>\n

Walker's try was somewhat of a turning point in the game, with the Dragons struggling to gain any momentum.<\/p>\n

Dragons coach Ryan Carr said he had "no thoughts" about the incident post-match, bringing about a laugh from captain Ben Hunt who then gave an insight into the incident.<\/p>\n

"I saw the replay, me and Latrell were actually talking about it … he said he was onside so he thought it should be a try but I thought they had to be out of the 10," he said.<\/p>\n

Hunt agreed the decision was deflating.<\/p>\n

"It is deflating, (but) at the end of the day it was a big play by him to score the try and we didn't try to defend it, so it can be an excuse but we still need to try and stop it," he added. \ufeff<\/p>\n

The Saturday afternoon fixture in Cairns started in typical fashion for the Rabbitohs with Alex Johnston strolling over in the corner.<\/p>\n

Mitchell then followed it up with a penalty goal before Mikaele Ravalawa put the Dragons on the board to make it 8-4 with no further points before half-time.\ufeff<\/p>\n

After a passionate half-time speech from Jason Demetriou, his side was off to the perfect start when Campbell Graham scored with ease.<\/p>\n

Hunt then went over minutes later to make it 14-10.<\/p>\n

Walker's try followed in the 50th minute to put a dent in the Dragons confidence.<\/p>\n

Tyrell Sloan and Johnston would both score later in the second half but ultimately the Rabbitohs held on for a 26-14 victory.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
