The Penrith Panthers have been left licking their wounds after losing in golden point for the second consecutive week.
Harry Grant outsmarted the reigning premiers in Round 24, as the Melbourne captain secured the win for his side.
This time around, it was the width of a goal post in Mudgee that ultimately proved to be the difference between them and Canberra.

When Nathan Cleary lined up for a 35-metre field goal, it seemed to be all but a certainty to see the ball soon sailing over the black dot.
But the Steeden did not fly between the posts as expected. Instead, it ricocheted off the inside of the upright and bounced back into play.
From there, everyone but Jed Stuart and Ethan Strange appeared to be frozen in time.
The five-eighth had moments earlier forced the game into golden point as he produced a trademark step on his way to the try line to level the scores at 16-all.
Strange ended up with the pill in his hands once again when it really mattered and he set sail down the touchline, fending off Cleary and a desperate lunge from Dylan Edwards.
However, while Tom Jenkins was finally able to catch up to the 21-year-old, no one had the legs to stop Kaeo Weekes.
The fullback had loomed up on Strange’s shoulder and was there to take the pass and complete a 95-metre heist.
"That is the most remarkable rugby league moment, in the most remarkable rugby league season, in the most remarkable sport that is played on this planet!" Andrew Voss exclaimed on Fox League.
"That is the most remarkable finish to a golden point game I have ever witnessed," Cooper Cronk agreed.
"It will forever be remembered as the Miracle in Mudgee," Voss added.
"This is absolutely mindblowing! It’s not hyperbole. You have never seen this before."
"It was the most entertaining and gripping finish I have ever been a part of," Cronk said.
However, despite the wild celebrations on the pitch at Glen Willow Oval, excitement in the commentary box and general disbelief around the country, Ricky Stuart refused to get carried away post-match.
"They’ve got that in them and it’s been quite evident all season," the cool, calm and collected Canberra coach summarised.
"They play for each other and they’re a gritty and competitive footy team.
"Without downplaying it, I didn’t think we were that good tonight," Stuart added.
"Our attack was, at times, patchy. And it was probably more of a gritty and tough win than anything else."
