Titans<\/a> coach Des Hasler<\/a> \ufeffand captain Kieran Foran<\/a> have been left to rue two costly calls after the side's 22-20 loss to the Storm<\/a>.<\/p>\n

With the score locked up at 20-20 in the second half, the Gold Coast looked like they may have scored the winner through AJ Brimson in the 57th minute.<\/p>\n

However, the Bunker overturned the call, ruling Beau Fermor had obstructed Cameron Munster in the build up.<\/p>\n

Then with two minutes remaining, a captain's challenge from the Titans proved costly when Nick Meaney was judged to have been stripped off the ball by Jojo Fifita.<\/p>\n

When speaking to referee Belinda Sharpe at the time, Foran couldn't believe it. \ufeff<\/p>\n

"He's trying to offload the ball," he pleaded.<\/p>\n

"How can you call that a strip? You can't do it."<\/p>\n

League great James Graham was equally as confused.<\/p>\n

"W\ufeffhoever's in the Bunker has clearly never played the game of rugby league in their life because there's no attempt to strip. Oh dear," he said on Fox League.<\/p>\n

"… I don't understand that … I'm sorry the Titans probably wish they didn't have their challenge at this time because that's a horror call."<\/p>\n

Speaking post-match, Hasler didn't even need to be asked on the decisions before giving his opinion.<\/p>\n

"You're going to probably ask about contentious calls. Yep, sure they're contentious. You get some and you lose some, unfortunately the one's that you lose are always the hardest," he said.<\/p>\n

"We can talk for half a day about the strip there at the end, was it a strip? At the end of the day it doesn't help the result in anyway.<\/p>\n

"The obstruction call, they (Storm) played it well. I just feel \ufeffif Beau Fermor had of gone any further in to the inside shoulder of Munster then he probably runs to the next defender in and I think you might see Reimis Smith made a defensive play at it so that's all I can really say on that.<\/p>\n

"But we had our opportunities, it's probably one we should've won tonight."<\/p>\n

Pressed further on the strip call, Hasler simply replied: "It is what it is."<\/p>\n

Clearly frustrated, Foran expanded on his thoughts, describing the strip decision as "interesting".<\/p>\n

"As Des said, we're not going to blame the calls for the result tonight," he said.<\/p>\n

"We got \ufeffsome go our way, some went against us but the one at the end was an interesting call."<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
