The Tigers looked to have secured the upset of the season when they held a 26-25 lead in the dying seconds, but a captain's challenge from the Cowboys turned the match on its head.

The Bunker pored over footage and deemed that Feldt had been denied an opportunity to contend for the ball, opening the door for Valentine Holmes to slot a penalty goal after the siren and clinch victory for North Queensland.

Holmes duly kicked it from about 25-metres to snatch a 27-26 victory for the Cowboys and shatter the hearts of Tigers supporters.

"Although the referee had blown his whistle to stop the game after the last tackle was completed as time had expired, he had not yet called fulltime," - a NRL spokesman said.

While, Josh Addo-Carr entertained with a hat-trick of tries as the Bulldogs downed the Titans 36-26!
