The Phins are denied a “crucial” Bunker decision moments after the Warriors receive favourable luck with a Bunker call. The dispute centers on an incident involving Kurt Donoghoe, where the on-field call is a knock-on.
According to multiple outlets, referee Chris Butler sticks with the original on-field decision rather than reversing it through the Bunker review. The reports describe the Phins as unable to secure the same outcome that the Warriors had just achieved, suggesting the Bunker process does not overturn the decision in this case.
While the articles share the same core details, they frame the moment differently in emphasis rather than fact: all three focus on the timing relative to the Warriors’ earlier Bunker call and on Butler’s decision to maintain the knock-on ruling. None of the sources indicate the final match result in the provided excerpts, but all present the Bunker call as a turning point that goes against the Phins.
