South Sydney coach Wayne Bennett says he wants the NRL bunker removed after a decision is overturned during Friday night’s match. He is left “seething” following a crucial call made midway through the second half that is reversed after bunker review.
Bennett’s comments reflect a long-running frustration with the bunker system, which some coaches and players argue can disrupt momentum and lead to contentious outcomes. The report coverage from different outlets focuses on the same incident: a game-changing ruling is corrected using video review, prompting Bennett’s criticism of the process.
While all accounts emphasize Bennett’s reaction and his desire to see the bunker discontinued, they provide limited additional detail about the specific overturned call. The broader context is the ongoing debate in the NRL over the role and impact of bunker reviews on on-field refereeing and match flow.
