‘Kasey got it wrong. Again': Des Hasler takes aim at the Bunker after crucial call costs the Titans dearly
Titans coach Des Hasler has slammed a controversial Bunker ruling against his side that sparked a 12-point turnaround for the Storm, declaring 'it was the wrong decision' based on what he'd been told by the NRL. The Storm left the Gold Coast with a sloppy 28-16 win in awful conditions, but it could've been a very different result had the Bunker not denied the home side a try that proved very telling as the visitors scored a minute later. Down 22-10 with 16 minutes remaining, Titans hooker Sam Verrills waited an eternity at the ruck to pick up the ball before he burrowed through some flimsy defence to score under the posts. The original decision was a six again to the Titans and a try on the field, but Kasey Badger in the bunker intervened and ruled that Verrills had burrowed through Tino Fa'asuamaleaui who had blocked Ryan Papenhuyzen from making a tackle. The Titans received the penalty but it didn't help as Grant Anderson picked off a pass a few plays later to put the Storm further in front. 'I thought it was the wrong decision,' a frustrated Hasler said. 'I think there was an email that came from the NRL about players laying in the ruck, and that's fine, that's good, let them lay in the ruck. 'But you shouldn't lose the advantage. 'On that particular field position, I spoke to (officiating coach) David Fairleigh and sent an email because there's a similar play that Melbourne use with big NAS (Nelson Asofa-Solomona) who is very good at that. 'I just thought we took that space. I don't think we contacted anybody. Tino played the ball so he's allowed to hold his ground, I was told. 'Verrills picks up the ball and doesn't touch anyone. Papenhuyzen wasn't obstructed, and that was word for word what the NRL set out so I'll be interested to know what their explanation was. 'Kasey got it wrong. Again.' A fuming Hasler ended the press conference abruptly and received some support from Storm coach Craig Bellamy who didn't see much wrong with the contact. Coaches have been told not to criticise officials, with North Queensland's Todd Payten recently receiving a warning from head office. 'I didn't think there was a whole heap wrong with it when I watched it live, but I didn't look at any slow motion (replays),' he said. 'All of a sudden when we were trying to rearrange things, it got disallowed so I wouldn't comment on it.'

Bolton shines as Dockers rain on Suns' parade
Fremantle star Shai Bolton kicked three goals to get one over former mentor Damien Hardwick, inspiring his side to a hard-fought 11-point win against fast-finishing Gold Coast. Bolton showcased his elite talent in wet and wild conditions, leading the Dockers to a precious 11.9 (75) to 9.10 (64) victory at People First Stadium on Saturday. Highlighted as Fremantle's 'barometer' by ex-Richmond boss Hardwick in the build-up to the game, Bolton shone in the front half with 20 disposals. But his late tackle on Nick Holman was every bit as important, directly leading to Jye Amiss's match-sealing goal in the final 30 seconds. The Dockers had led by a game-high 20 points in the final quarter, but saw the lead trimmed to five as Gold Coast gave them a huge scare. A third straight victory put the Dockers (7-5) into the top eight, while the Suns (8-3) suffered just their third loss of the season – and their first on home turf. Caleb Serong (27 disposals, six clearances) and stand-in captain Andrew Brayshaw (30, five) were important for Fremantle, and Patrick Voss stood tall in attack with a career-best three goals and eight tackles. Luke Jackson (27 disposals, 20 hit-outs) was influential as a ruckman, and Jordan Clark (30 touches) was composed in defence. Gold Coast captain Noah Anderson was immense with game-high tallies of 39 disposals and 12 clearances.
