Another round of NRL, another weekend of Bunker controversies with video replay officials once again finding themselves under the pump over some questionable calls.cost Manly a chance at running down the Eels on Sunday afternoon came when Tom Trbojevic broke through the defence and put Tolu Koula over to score.
“Now Moretti dropped off yesterday, for sure, he was never going to stop Tom Trbojevic, but unfortunately, the fact Jake was in the road and denied him the opportunity to close down that space and Tom went through that space, it was always going to be pulled back. “You understand the ruling yeah, so you can understand it so it’s black and white right, but those ones are really hard to watch,” Cherry-Evans said.
The Warriors then marched down field and scored two tries in three minutes in what proved the final points of the match.Teenager Ethan Strange barged his way to the line and the No. 6 looked to have planted the ball on the line in the 30th minute. All eyes then turned to the post-match press conference of Canberra coach Ricky Stuart, but the Christchurch media somehow didn’t ask him about the Bunker.
Warriors coach Andrew Webster admitted the Raiders were in control of the match before the game-changing Bunker decision in the second half.“They were definitely on top. Somebody was going to have to come up with a momentum play and there were a couple of huge plays and then somebody got us a penalty,” Webster said.
