Cronulla defeat unlucky Tigers

The Cronulla Sharks have continued their undefeated away run this season with a 22-16 win over the Wests Tigers, though there was early controversy over a disallowed try.

The Tigers and the police are looking through the footage and will continue to investigate.

The incident happened on a night the Tigers fans refused to hide their displeasure over the decision of Mitchell Moses, Aaron Woods and James Tedesco to leave the club.

Despite the club sending an email to members pleading with them to respect their skipper, Woods was once again booed by his home supporters.

There were a number of banners erected taking aim at the players, with Woods called a "dog", Moses "slimy" and Tedesco a "cock" in reference to his expected defection to the Roosters next season.
