Coaches David Furner and Craig Bellamy have both criticised a decision to award a try to Melbourne on Sunday after the ball bounced off Greg Inglis' chest and went forward in the lead-up.
Five minutes after half-time, the Storm were leading the Raiders 12-6 when Ryan Hoffman got an offload away to Inglis who had acres of open space ahead of him but the burly centre failed to get a finger to the ball before it bounced off his torso.
Inglis kept going and gathered up the ball before passing for winger Justin O'Neill in support and video referee Tim Mander subsequently awarded the penalty because Inglis had not to the letter of the rules knocked on.
But Furner, speaking after his team had gone down 36-12 as an error-riddled second-half in which Canberra completed just four of 13 sets proved costly, was still shaking his head about a decision he described as 'embarrassing'.
"I thought that try there, they've got to have a real good look at that," Furner said.
"He can't be rewarded for playing like that and that's got to be looked at."
"That's twice now we've had a try scored against us like that in a tight game; when I say tight, at that part of the game it was."
"It's there at the moment and every team has to play with it but that's a bit embarrassing to be honest, to score a try like that."
"That could've been a knock on and we're down the other end but after that we kept trying and blokes kept turning up for each other but it seemed to be that we made it worse for each other."
Furner also found unlikely support in his Melbourne counterpart Bellamy.
"That's obviously the rule but to me it (should) probably (be) no try," Bellamy said.
"If common sense prevails it's probably no try but at the end of the day that's the rule, or I suppose it's the rule or they wouldn't have awarded it."
"I would've preferred to see a no try but that's not my decision I've got other things to worry about."
