Bunker

Don't blame the bunker , blame the ref that sent it up as a no try

Also blame the NRL , all tries should be sent to the bunker without bias

Bunker made the correct call (inconclusive evidence). They had to go with refs call.

And what happens if its inconclusive? How would the bunker have decided yesterday if there was no "refs call"?

I like the current rule. Places emphasis on the ref to get it right. If the bunker can't prove the ref was wrong, then Im happy to live with that decision. It means the bunker is only there as a fail safe not as proxy for the ref.

Didn't work, which is why they changed the rule. I much prefer the current rule.

We also need a culture change. We are one of the few sports where people obsess over referee decisions. Phil Gould is partly to blame for this. Just accept the refs decision and move on.

Just accept the no try call. Just accept the two balls on the field joke. Just accept Lawrences no penalty try call against the storm at Leichhardt…the list goes on.

Just accept, accept, accept.

50/50's i can cop, because thats life. 80/20's is just not fair.

Yep because it works out in the end. Good example is the knock on call against Mamo in the first half yesterday. Ridiculous call. Probably 99/1 if you want use percentages. It went our way and I will take it but clearly the wrong call.
