The Jets, with two seconds left on the clock, looked to had snatched victory in what was a physical game of Group Seven Rugby League.
The home side, down 30-28, looked like it had recorded one of its best wins of the season when fullback Dwyane Connors chased a Geoff Johnson kick into the in-goal area to ground the ball.
