Coach Michal Marum

Marum: I thought it was a try

The only one at the press conference, Marum vented his frustrations, criticising referee Michael Gordon’s control of the match.

Marum opened up by going back to Gordon’s controversial call in the 74th minute that saw Wawa Paul pick up a loose ball from a Wartovo Puara Jr tackle on Magpies halfback, Sam Scarlett, and run 90 metres to score.

But Gordon ruled that Puara was offside and penalised the Hunters.
