NRL finals footy discussion 2026

As much of a muppet Klein is, that was poor form by the Wah's fans. A full can thrown from height can knock out or or even kill someone.

It's becoming apparent that the bunker should have the power to review all situations when the refs decision is incorrect. There was a blatant escort and Klein got it wrong.

I think it was a flow on from the Lions-Hawks game the night before. Similar scenarios and rarely seen at NRL games.
Imagine if we did that every time we got a gut wrenching wrong call, we’d run out of projectiles.

Looks like NRL are going to deklein further bad calls from this ref.

NRL set to axe ref Klein after controversial semifinal ending

The NRL admits the Warriors were wrongly denied a crucial late penalty in their 12-10 semi-final loss to Newcastle, and that could cost top referee Ashley Klein a preliminary final.

Fancy that...most of us were correct in that disruptor no penalty after all

Absolute farce that he could still be allowed to officiate after what he admitted to.

Very very poor from the Wahs fans and a bad way to end their season.

Theyre usually very easy going and good natured after a loss...a few bad apples can smear them all.

We went to the 03 GF when roosters beat them and I was surprised leaving the ground most warriors fans were in good spirits

Tough way to end the year ...klein cant not just make it about him

Couldn’t happen to a more deserving guy. The fact he is allowed to ref after everything in the papers reeks of corruption and is a disgrace. Not to mention PVL has him involved in racing as well.

Both are grubs.

Would you prefer a badge or a chest to pin it to? 🙄🙄🤔

I seriously don't understand NRL. I genuinely thought it was a very well reffed game apart from that one call.

But Klein has enough bad runs on the board I guess..

We might have seen one of the greatest finals finishes ever. As fans we we were robbed by Klein again.

This is partly a result of the NRL or the refs boss not being disciplined and consistent.in rulings ..they have crackdowns....they focus on certain things for a few weeks and then.slacken off
Early.in the season if you farted near a fulback catching a high ball - penalty
Two hands up going for the ball became one hand is ok.
Play the ball touch it with your foot pinged pinged.pinged...naah its.ok just roll it now
6 again etc etc one ref blows 15 next day another ref gives 2.
Fans have no idea what was a penalty last week
..this week its ok

Refs.have an insanely difficult job just made.more difficult by their superiors.
Some.sports the rules are.fairly simple and straightforward but our game.keeps changing things

I still hear a lot of complaints throughout the year that the bunker interferes too much during games. Hard to get the mix right.

In this match there was no natural stop in play at this time as Sharpe caught the bomb and it was play on. Was then stopped due to potential injury. Even if the Warriors had a challenge left I don’t think that they would have be have been able to use it here.

Klownbet is currently paying $1.28 for all to be forgotten after a week off at the races with the main man wheeled out for the GF as usual. Also paying $1.88 for the number of plastic bottles pegged from level 6 to be under or over 2026.

I get that refs make mistakes, and the Bunker stuffs up decisions. However, after watching that game and remembering how many times we’ve been ripped off by wrong decisions, it must be hard to take for the Wahs supporters.

Football uses SAOT as well as in chip balls to track player position. The technology is there so it's time the NRL uses it.
