We've all probably had a brain snap on the field and made a horrendous decision. Unfortunately for Ben Cummins, he's done it on international television. He sin bins a player for being offside and breaking down play... the only problem is that player not only got back 10 metres, he got back 45! It's a brain snap of monumental proportions.

The call dramatically changed the complexion of the game, with the Dragons scoring 2 tries whilst the Broncos were down to 12 men, and another shortly after his return. They were within two points of winning the game due to this, however, the Broncos scored late to win by 8.
He apologised to the player when he came back onto the field, and an NRL representative apologised to the team after the match.
