Benji Marshall has teed off at the “outrageous” standard of the refereeing in the Tigers’ loss to the Cowboys on Saturday, declaring he will be demanding a ‘please explain’ from the NRL.

The Cowboys can lock in a top-eight berth with a win on Saturday night but it won’t come easy against a Tigers team coming off a shock victory over the Roosters last week.

A new feud was born on Saturday night, with Roosters halfback Sam Walker and Dolphins enforcer Ray Stone exchanging some expletive-laden words.

Josh Hannay has declared there is no short-term fix to turn the Gold Coast’s fortunes around, labelling any suggestion the Titans need to go on a spending spree this off-season “garbage”.

The Roosters have been handed a monumental blow to their premiership hopes after Sam Walker hobbled off the field during his side’s clash with the Dolphins.

A jovial Wayne Bennett believed Jai Arrow “should be laughing” at his expense after the master coach was pictured helping his player put his socks on before their Titans clash.

It’s been the Teagan Levi show all season, but halves partner Lauren Brown had a field day as the Titans made it eight wins in a row with a 26-20 victory over the Raiders who rallied late with a contender for try of the year.

South Sydney's Jai Arrow appears in the first of his final two matches for the Rabbitohs, leading the club out for their game against Gold Coast.
