Show Notes

It was recently confirmed that NRL referee Ashley Klein has been removed from duty from the preliminary finals following 3 heavily controversial calls in the Warriors' semi-final defeat to the Knights on Sunday. Klein and the Bunker came under heavy fire from the general public and media on both sides of the Tasman - as a missed obstruction penalty in the final minutes would've given the Warriors a chance to send the game to golden point.
