The Tigers may have set a record in their thrilling last-gasp 21-20 win over the Eels at CommBank Stadium yesterday. On a weekend dominated by set restarts, the Tigers didn't get a single 'six again' call from referee Chris Butler. The set restart is a game changer - the Eels got four to the Tigers' nil yet the Tigers held on for an epic victory. It's unusual for a team not to get a single set re-start in 80 minutes - and unheard of for that team to go on and win. The lop-sided count adds weight to claims by Cowboys coach Todd Payten and his Titans counterpart Justin Holbrook in recent weeks that the 'big' clubs get the rub of the green from referees. Full marks to the Tigers on a courageous win - they also lost the penalty count 6-4, went into the game as rank outsiders but refused to toss in the towel.
