Canterbury defeats an injury-hit Parramatta 14-12 in a match marked by late drama and a controversial penalty. The teams play a scoreless first half, the first time the NRL has had no points in an opening half for five years. Canterbury then gains control after the break, but the decisive moment comes late when a penalty—described by multiple reports as controversial—sets up a game-winning goal by Josh Crichton. Parramatta, dealing with injuries throughout the match, are unable to recover in the closing stages. The result keeps Canterbury’s season alive, extending their contention in the NRL ladder while leaving Parramatta’s campaign under pressure after the defeat. Across outlets, the key storyline centers on the unusual goalless opening half, the late penalty that ultimately proves decisive, and Crichton’s late kick that delivers the win for the Bulldogs.
