ONLY in rugby league could we find ourselves arguing over a coin toss.

Fortunately, there’s no need to continue bickering because Fox Sports has unearthed the audio of the most controversial on-ground conversation since the Mick Ennis and Nathan Hindmarsh biff.

Gold Coast skipper Ryan James claimed Cronulla star Wade Graham “lied” during the coin toss to decide who would receive the ball during extra time of Monday’s thrilling 18-all golden point draw.

The Titans forward said Graham conned the referee into redoing the toss after changing his decision.

As the old saying goes, ‘there’s two sides to every story’.

But we don’t need to hear Graham’s version of events because we have proof that James is telling the truth.

Having produced the transcript from the conversation between referee Allan Shortall and the two captain’s, Graham clearly calls ‘heads’ before claiming he called tails after the toss.

Take a look at the transcript below and click on the player at the top of the page to see and hear how the coin toss played out:

Graham: Heads.

James: Tails.

James: We’ll receive.

Graham: Yeah. We will receive.

Referee: What did you call? (directing his question to Wade Graham)

James: Heads!

Graham: I said tails.

Referee: Tails, yep.

James: No you didn’t. (to Graham)

James: Check. (to referee)

Graham: We’ll receive that way.

James: No he didn’t (call tails).

Referee: Call it again. Toss it and call it again.

Graham: Heads.

Referee: What’d you call?

Referee: It’s heads.

Referee: You’re running this way, you kick off back that way.

Referee: See how we go.

The NRL said on Tuesday that it was comfortable with the decision to redo the toss after reviewing the incident, although clearer audio has since emerged.

“Assistant referee Alan Shortall conducted the golden point toss and did not hear a call from Wade Graham,” an NRL spokesman is quoted in a statement provided for Fox Sports.

“The toss was re-taken as a result. During an initial review of the referees’ communications there was no audible call from Wade Graham.

“Subsequently following the airing of audio from Fox Sports’ separate feed, we will request a copy of that communication from our broadcast partner.”

Fox Sports has agreed to the NRL’s request and on Tuesday afternoon provided its feed of the coin toss to NRL HQ.

After the match, a furious James blasted Graham during the press conference.

It was a huge call within the context of the game.

“I won the coin toss and had to toss it again because Wade Graham lied,” James fired.

“I flipped it, he called ‘tails’ and it landed on heads and the ref made me do it again because Wade said he called ‘heads’ but he called tails.

“It should have been us receiving (the ball) but we had to kick off. We would have had an extra set. That’s a massive play.

“Having to flip the coin toss twice at the end when you win it is ridiculous.

“All (the referee) had to do was listen to his thing and go up to The Bunker that comes in at every other play. I was frustrated at that.”
