The bunker debacle a joke!!

Posted by Ed on June 2, 2016 at 8:04am

I'm a passionate rugby league supporter and the bunker has destroyed very fabric of the game by jumping in when they feel like it. I've got a solution for Daley sacked the refs and let bunker officiate the game from bunker. They think they do a better job. Gagai knockout reversal was turning point last night's game. They destroyed this years Anzac Day match between roosters n dragons too by playing god. The bunker should be only utilise in try scoring scenarios in goal only not for a incompetent referee who may missed a knock on 60 metres down the field at dummy half. The Daley loses this series he should sack himself same as great wise not bozo. Fucken walker on bench was only there because influence of bozo merrin or Cartwright should had final jumper.

flashback to round 1&2 this year!!!
"how good is that bunker???"
"we get the right decision everytime"
"we all love the bunker"
I honestly don't see anything different but the idiots in the box wear a stupid bunker shirt, and we get 4 screens to look at.

The bunker constantly mystifies me. Whilst I didn't think Morris scored that try, there was surely enough doubt either way, that the bunker should have gone with the on field call. Week in and week out, out of the blue they'll overturn an on field decision, then in the same game, in the same situation, they'll ignore it and let play go on. They seem to be untouchable, no criticism accepted or bad decision ever explained by the powers that be. They've got more bloody power than Donald Trump!

Bunker saved us against the Knights.

  True, they were due for a good decision.

  The bunker was used in the correct manner try scoring scenario

Morris was not a try; the ball never got to the line, but I see your point. They come in on certain things (the scrum) but then not when a player is shadowed off the ball. Should only be used in the try area.

I feel your pain with the bunker. I remember Sterlo saying years ago when they first introduced the video ref "I don't like the idea over a game, a season or a career the good and bad decisions will even themselves out" BUT how the hell have Quensland got the rub of the green for the last 10 years is mystifing to say the least.

The frustrating thing is they don't come in on all the decision that could or should be overturned. Every now and then is not good enough. But then the Mel and refs boss make excuses for them and say it's ok that they do that. The decision was the wrong decision anyway and should not have been over turned.... gob smacked! We still may not have won the game but we lost all momentum and we had wild on the ropes as they were shagged at the time

Momentum is everything in Origin, What's the chance of any 50/50 calls going our way in game 2. To win up there we'll need to score at least 20 points I just can't see this current Blues side having that many points in them. Time maybe for Jack Bird and Croker to be in the centres?

Blake Austin should've been on the bench. Also i would somehow make room for James Roberts and Tedesco. The back line is lacking some serious X factor. Moylan did ok but he dead set looked lost out there at times.
