Bunker is a SHAM

[XV-1]

The bunker made a lot less mistakes than our muppets today

Im under the impression that the bunker cant check anything before the play of the ball anyway.

 

[KNUCKLES]

If it was Luke patten in the bunker don't you think there were two contentious calls made by him against ourselves and the Knights in favour of his two old clubs in the dragons and bulldogs? Past players shouldn't be able to aduticate on ex club games

I think the first bunker decision was wrong. Yes, they have given a clear justification for their ruling with the DCE incident technically occurring before the play the ball. The key word is "technically" and I think they are clasping at straws to cover their own a$$.

As I have mentioned a few times elsewhere and another poster mentioned here, they never at any stage scrutinised Widdop's marker positioning. There was just the one quick glimpse from a single camera angle, (which strongly suggested Widdop was indeed NOT square), yet no further scrutiny. It seemed that the bunker was just watching the DCE incident and then realised that technically it was before the play the ball and therefore over-looked everything else.

In regards to the 2nd decision over the strip I can live with that as a reasonable call. If I saw an opposition team lose the ball like that and us getting penalised for a strip I would in all honesty be pretty peed off.

Can't really blame Badger for that, he told the bunker to check it. They ignored it for some reason and just checked Widdop was square or some ****. And he gave the strip one as try too, but was overruled.

Incorrect. Badger did not ask for the bunker to check it. All he asked was to check if Widdop was square, nothing else. He completely ignored the fact that Nightingale took DCE out of the play.

The bunker made a few errors but how bad was our passing. Not to mention the arm tackling rather than full front on defence..... anyway there is always next week!

Now I've seen it all.

 

[castle eagle]

All true, but how does a first grader play the ball to nobody?

Manly need to get back to basics ASAP

watch it again & you will see walker do what he is supposed to do,
he begins to move into dummy half & when he sees dce running back to that position he moves to first receiver for the hit up, the same as every other time there is a deep kick to the winger.
i don't think coaches train players to deal with obvious foul play as seen today - silly of us to think the ref can get a simple call right

what about the touchie he was right there and as if badger or the other ref didn't see it they need to get the bunker to check but they didn't . The bunker is a joke how could they not pick that up there's 4 of them in there pathetic

Fact: We didn't lose today's game because of the bunker.

Fact : But I agree they made a **** decision.

Question: Would it have changed the game , probably not.

Ruling Explained

Last week one of the players (I can't remember which game) was ruled to have caught the ball inside his goal area on the full and his team got the 20 metre tap. He had lost control of the ball, but it wasn't noticed by the refs.

After the play the ball on the first tackle of the set, the refs stopped it and ruled for a line dropout. Why?

Who do you think interjected? The lads watching on the video. They ruled AFTER the game had played on.

What a crock.

We were miserable today, but that doesn't take away from the poor performance of the Bunker. I'm tired of that whole thing.

In attempting to limit mistakes by referees by introducing more complex and elaborate methods, they have created a greater problem, in my opinion (which is all that matters).

Trying to create a utopia inevitably brings about a dystopia. Perfection is impossible.

Apply Ockham's Razor. All things being equal, the simplest answer is usually the correct one.

To me, that means one ref and two touchies. It isn't perfect, but from my viewpoint it is a better system.

Now, here at The Quirkster, we understand that you may have a different opinion. We also understand that you value your own opinion. We also understand that your opinion is wrong, no matter how much you value it. My opinion is right.

41 Missed tackles on the NRL's stats page, bunker error or not we were not good enough today.

Who says it's why we lost?
What a reject
At best this blokes played lawn bowls
Should change the name to Wombat drop kick....legacy is an injustice

 

[Danly Manly]

The bunker can't rule on what happened before the play the ball however after the play the ball Nightingale was 10 metres offside and it wouldn't matter if the encounter with DCE was all DCE'S doing , it was over by the time that the ball was played . Simple verdict is Nightingale offside and penalty to Manly.

I totally agree, it is ****ed beyond all comprehension!

 

[Shoe1]

I call it the ADRIAN. After the hack ex player Adrian Brunker. The Adrian will always let you down.

seriously you don't think that changed the game? 4 points makes a difference. After that they got a penalty and scored again. Now it's 10. they got confidence from that try and got a roll on. It was massive and changed the game 100% imo not too mention the afb strip but that's 50 50 but the 1st one no that's a penalty all day every day but as usual we cop the nuts like how lussick got a penalty for slapping someone. dces response was perfect he simply said really! when asking if a slap was a penalty.

 

[HoldenV8]

Klemmer was penalised for slapping DCE so on that one the refs actually got it right and it was dumb play by a clearly frustrated Lussick.

 

[PhredXor]

Do we really want the bunker to be able to check previous plays though? Imagine how long everything would take then, they're already slow as **** half the time. The refs missed it, but that's just the refs being rubbish as usual.
