More the Bunker as they can replay it 100 times (as they do with some tries).

The NRL takes one step forward two steps back. All the technology in the world and bunkers and all that and they still make poor and ridiculous decisions.

What makes it worse is the kicker is leaning backwards, if you look at the foot, it's in front of Ken. I've seen worse given the all clear.

Call it the wunker - shocking as usual.

That's because there are humans involved.
It takes very little time to get a correct call in tennis with the ball hitting the line or with cricket the ball hitting stumps and hot spot.
The reason we have the bunker is to spot something the officials can't see and more likely because the TAB is involved, betting.
I think we, the supporters and the game as a whole should recognize that even with all this technology, the officials will still get it wrong and get over it. The bunker will still have it's limitations when humans are involved.
I would like the bunker to review only in normal speed, not frame by frame. If it looks like a duck......
Just make a quick decision and get on with the game.

The decisions made aren't always up to scratch, and frustratingly so, but it is simply a review system, and that is unequivocally a good thing.

The problem with them looking at it in normal speed is that the TV broadcasters will slow it down and say look they missed this. Should be slowed down but if it is not 100% clear just go with on field none of this looking to see if his finger scraped the ball or not rubbish

So a player from a top 8 team tried to decapitate a player from a bottom 8 team and everyone but the ref and bunker thought it was a sin bin minimum. Does Mr Annusley agree they are biased yet or are they just incompetent?
You can add the MRC to the biased/incompetent list as he has only been hit with a wet lettuce leaf (1 week if he pleads guilty)

It's unfortunate that the calibre of refs atm is not great. Probably the worst in recent memory.
