A shattered Tim Sheens refused to enter into the debate over whether the try that ended his team's season was legitimate, arguing it was a pointless exercise now that the Tigers were out of the play offs.
Krisnan Inu's 78th minute four-pointer handed the Warriors a thrilling 22-20 win in Friday night's elimination semi-final at the SFS, but Sheens was in no mood to discuss whether it should have been awarded despite there being plenty of conjecture.
The video referee took several looks before ruling the Warriors centre had not knocked on or performed a double movement before reaching out to score.
A stony-faced Sheens said: "There's not much you can do about it."
"What's done is done. Whether it was a try or not, they ruled on it and the season's over for us."
"I'm not really fussed on chatting about it or dissecting it."
"There's no use. There's no next week for us, so it's just about next year."
"Dissecting it now is a waste of time as far as I'm concerned."
"There's nothing else I want to stay."
Skipper Robbie Farah looked equally distraught and stunned as he sat beside his coach and attempted to make sense of what had just unfolded.
The Tigers looked destined for a 10th straight win and a preliminary final meeting with Melbourne before Inu snatched the game away from them.
"I'm pretty disappointed. It was a game I felt we were in control of," Farah said.
"Credit to the Warriors, they came home strong and we couldn't hold them out."
"It's no use complaining. The effort was first class right throughout the past three months and again tonight."
"But anytime you lose it hurts."
Farah was particularly upset the loss signalled the end for several Tigers players.
