Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 2800937, member: 1899"] The bunker can only rule on point-scoring plays, goal-line restarts or foul play. That means that on-field knock ons and 40/20s will be left to the referees. You can read more on NRL.com: [URL]http://www.nrl.com/changes-to-the-nrl-bunker-in-2017/tabid/10874/newsid/103579/default.aspx[/URL] I don't think those changes go far enough. Either the bunker should be restricted to scoring plays and goal line drop outs or they should be able to be used whenever necessary. My biggest gripe here is that you're still encouraging players to take a dive and you're asking the bunker to play the role of the Match Review Committee which isn't their job. So what ends up happening is that you get inconsistent rulings and the fans get pissed off because it can make or break an entire game. BHQ_NEWS_ARTICLE [/QUOTE]
