      So, your mates and mates of mates would vote overwhelmingly to get rid of the bunker and find some workable solutions to the dire ref situation?
      1985: 1 try vs Parramatta, 1 try vs Manly, 1 try vs Wests, 2 tries vs Souffs
      1986: 2 tries vs Illawarra, 1 try vs Balmain, 2 tries vs Norths.

        The game is so over scrutinised by the media which in turn has the fans over scrutinising it.
        There has always been dud calls by the officials & now the bunker but we are talking about humans here & humans make mistakes.
        If everyone could get perfection out of their heads the game would be alot better off.

          Mate, I agree with the media involvement. I think that the issue most people have is not with the on field decisions made in a split second, but rather with the bunker involvement. The bunker has the time to review the on field calls but still manage to come to inconsistent decisions. Case in point, the ruling of the obstructions during the Riff game. Or this new distributior rule. The bunker is supposed to remove the inconsistency that is made from on field decisions made by humans on the go. It seems to be a lottery at times as to which way the officials go.

            sloan charged by the match review committee for kicking walker but we don't get a penalty. not so much v the bunker but don't know how the touchie missed it
            If I was to be critical of the bunker it’s that I thought Keary’s try should’ve been an 8 point try, the way Sloan comes in with his knees was beyond careless.

            Problem with the NRL is they punish based on the injury sustained front the act, not the merits of the act itself. Had Keary or Walker been knocked out from either of Sloan’s acts he’s looking at weeks on the sideline.

            Taane Milne’s actions in the dying seconds of the game had serious malicious intent, but he’s only getting 2 weeks. It’s one of the biggest dog acts I’ve seen in the game in a long time…

              I would just put Gus Gould in the bunker every game.

                Tyrell Sloan (Dragons) Grade 1 Dangerous Contact 1st Offence TBC $1000-$1500 fine

                k s is a thinker and he raises a good point here. i guess it comes down to the fact that he committed that second offence without having yet been charged by the mrc of a first offence

                  yeah, although to be fair i didn't pick that one up on the day.
                  speaking of matters judicial - i reckon the nrl should make some allowance for players being sent off or spending time in the bin. a player sent off in the last minute of the game for a reckless head high tackle will be given the same suspension as a player sent off in the first minute - or in dom young's case in the first half. it doesn't make sense given that playing with 12 men for more than half a game is worse than playing with 13 men but being unable to select a suspended winger for a couple of games

                    fair call but it doesn't hurt for us - or more importantly for robbo - to call out bad reffing and bunker decisions. the squeaky wheel get the oil

                      Well the Tigers had a shocker against them on the Korisau no-try. They aren’t biased. Just incompetent.

                        That decision exemplified what is wrong with the bunker. They over scrutinise stuff to justify their existence and come up with some bizarre decisions instead of just using common sense and awarding what was an obvious try.

                          Maybe Rooster_6 could also highlight the diabolical decisions that Annesley is forced to admit were wrong.
                          Highlight fkn Annersleys apologies!….no one has that much time on their hands

                            I've had an idea. Reduce the influence of the bunker, and put more onus on the refs decisions.

                            Each team captain has 2 challenges. One 'try' challenge and one general play challenge. The bunker only gets involved on captains challenges. The try challenge can be used either for a try awarded against your team, or a try disallowed for your team. If successful you keep or lose further challenges depending on the outcome, same as now.

                            It will mean some refs calls will be wrong and get through, but you have more continuity and decisions made in the moment in real motion, not slo-mo nitpicking. Bit like the old days with a caps challenge safeguard.

                            It's more pressure on the ref, but now they are lazy and sloppy with the over policing from the bunker.

                              If you saw the penalties differential over the past 20 years you might change your mind.

                                What a great suggestion JFC!
                                Maybe send it to Buzz and the NRL so it can be further discussed, and hopefully implemented??
