Wests Tigers prop Dave Klemmer has sensationally been accused of cheating to ensure his team beat Parramatta in an Easter Monday NRL thriller.

The allegation comes as the veteran front-rower was also busted making an obscene gesture at Eels star Clint Gutherson, who missed a penalty attempt after the fulltime siren which would have won the game.

Klemmer, 30, was the closest Tigers player to the fullback when he set up for the shot at goal, standing in between the Parramatta captain and the goalposts. 

Just before Gutherson kicked the ball, Klemmer could be seen jumping up in the air in a clear attempt to put off his rival.

NRL rules state that an opposition player can't distract a kicker before a shot at goal, with many footy fans adamant Klemmer should have been penalised - and Gutherson given another opportunity to be the matchwinner.
