The Chicka Ferguson try in the 1989 Grand Final, which forced extra time, would have to be on the list.

The NRL website says that a club has 24-48 hours to respond to a notice of charge, which would have been issued on Saturday morning to the Raiders and Papalii. That means today is likely the cut off time for Papalii.
