With 10 seconds on the clock, Kepaoa attempted to make a last-ditch attempt to steal the ball from centre Will Penisini.
Standing at dummy-half, Gutherson and Kepaoa then shared a quick exchange before the Eels fullback ran backwards and surrendered with a smile of his face.
Gutherson then walked straight towards the Tigers No.2, tapping the ball on his chest and saying “take the ball”.
Kepaoa slapped it out of his hands before turning his back on his opponent who clapped his hands and smiled with teammate Bryce Cartwright.
