The NRL’s Bunker faced controversy over a close call during a Storm vs. Dolphins match, where a try by Sua Fa’alogo was disputed as potentially being on the dead ball line. Despite the questionable call, the Storm dominated the game, with players like Harry Grant impressing and leading them to secure the minor premiership with two games left in the season. Many fans and commentators were shocked by the Bunker’s decision on Fa’alogo’s try, feeling it should have been overturned. The Storm’s victory also came after the Panthers’ loss to the Raiders, giving Melbourne the opportunity to secure the minor premiership. Grant praised his team’s performance and expressed confidence moving forward, despite his early exit due to a precautionary measure. On the other hand, the Panthers struggled without Nathan Cleary, losing a crucial match and now needing to win their remaining games to secure a second-place finish. Panthers coach Ivan Cleary acknowledged the team’s current struggles and emphasized the importance of improving before the finals. The NRL fans and experts continue to scrutinize the Bunker’s decisions, with many questioning the reliability and consistency of their calls.
