Would you be unhappy to see The Bunker scraped?

[The Who]

It feels like I've been advocating for its removal for the past decade. I believe it has harmed the sport as a spectacle, and hasn't made the game any fairer. In fact, I believe it is just another layer that can be compromised by corruption. This morning on my walk from the beach I overheard two groups discussing Bunker decisions. It seems, by rorting Easts, that the Bunker has overstepped its usefulness one time too many.
So, is it time to move forward by revisiting the past, and placing all decisions in the hands of on-field officials?

 

[The Wheel]

Well it has taken the old shocker decisions and replaced them with new type of shocker decisions. I am not sure whether I am prepared to go back to the old ones tbh. Surely some of these new shockers can be minimised with some common sense? Although common sense isn’t very common when it comes to NRL

Referees should be allowed to referee, every major decision is outsourced to the bunker and they still get so many things wrong.

Common sense needs to come into play with obstruction rulings. These clowns are now altering games with decisions that bewilder the bulk of us.

I would also like to see referees deal with players who assimilate, the diving that we saw from the Moretti the other day belongs to Serie A rather than the NRL.

 

[KNUCKLES]

They won't get rid of it just for its advertisements revenue alone. I'm happy to go back to the days without it though.

The Bunker has made some good decisions as well as some bad ones
The Resf have made some good decisions as well as some bad ones
We all have made some good decisions as well as some bad ones
Human stuff ups is unintentional in the way we perceive things at the time
And We all stuff up from time to time

 

[KNUCKLES]

May as well make the stuff ups without the bunker and utilise the massive amounts of cash it takes to operate the bunker elsewhere

I don’t get to watch much of the UK comp nowadays but just out of interest does anyone know how their bunker goes. Is it as bad or is it just the useless vidiots here that are rubbish?

 

[maxta]

It's not the bunker as much as the rules
I have actually heard bunker say " he wouldn't have got there" and award tries
Now it's simply black n white and I can wear it if does not change AGAIN
Also a 1 minute time limit, if not defined go with refs on field ruling - these 2-3 minute stoppages several times a game destroy a games momentum

 

[Dion Johnson]

I like the captains challenge rule, you need the bunker for that..

The common sense needs to come back into the rulings, the black and white will cause greater issues as we are seeing.

The players will make the NRL authorities look silly over the coming weeks, that no try to Manu last night with the bunker disallowing the try was a disgrace.

That is a good point feathered friend
It is always good to challenge the refs

 

[Rocky]

I think the bunker should stay - so at a minimum, the absolute howler of a decision gets eliminated.

But I feel like they should have to watch replays at normal speed at least for knock-on type and try scoring decisions.

For example, the try that Haumole got taken off v Roosters should be watched at normal speed.

 

[BOZO]

Now it's simply black n white and I can wear it if does not change AGAIN

Time for the NRL to finally get serious feathered friend !

The Black and White Bunker should be replaced with the Black and White Minstrel Show

 

[frank stokes]

Should be used to rule on/check tries only…


Oh…. and forward passes…

 

[BOZO]

When coaches and Players eliminate their errors
So will the refs
It has been what it has been
It is what it is

 

[Adz]

Depends on what you scrape them with(sounds painful) and who is doing the scraping.....

 

[HK_Eagle]

Never gonna happen. Bunker = breaks = advertising dollars

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

I hate

Bunker
6 agains
No biff

 

[Rafferty]

Never gonna happen. Bunker = breaks = advertising dollars

= control of the game
and to answer the question, No, it’s ruining the game.

Only captains should be allowed to refer a decision.
Get two wrong and you are out of reviews.

This.

Up the captains challanges and leave it to that
