Dylan Edwards dropped a long, hopeful kick from Chanel Harris-Tavita, and Te Maire Martin pounced to score a try to put the Wahs in front.<\/p>\n
However referee Gerard Sutton immediately went to the Bunker to determine whether Jackson Ford had committed a knock on as he challenged Edwards for the ball.<\/p>\n
The try was checked thoroughly and Ford was judged to have touched the ball by the slimmest of margins.<\/p>\n
The Warriors forward brushed the ball with his pinky so the try was overturned.<\/p>\n
That proved to be a key decision as Panthers held on to win by just two points.<\/p>\n
Fans felt the Warriors were hard done by and that their performance deserved more.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t think that was knock-on from the Wahs. Pinky finger your a*** that was knock back by Dylan Edwards for sure. Wahs got robbed,\u201d wrote one fan.<\/p>\n
Another added: \u201cWarriors were robbed tonight.\u201d<\/p>\n
A third wrote: \u201cClear try everyday of the week.\u201d<\/p>\n
And another commented: \u201cRef near on blew it no try while they were still in the air! Yet takes six replays to confirm a fingernail touched the ball.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Warriors being denied at the death meant Paul Alamoti proved to be the hero as he scored the winning try – moments after costing his side.<\/p>\n
It was his slip under a kick that allowed Alofiana Khan-Pereira to cross the line to put the Wahs in front in the 58th minute.<\/p>\n
But he was on hand to finish a brilliant flowing move in the corner to take the Panthers winning run to seven.<\/p>\n
