Bunker Decision Ignites Maroons' Controversy in Origin

Lindsay Collins makes an error from the kick-off.

The Bunker has once again drawn attention for a controversial decision that left the Maroons in an uproar during Game 2 of State of Origin at the MCG.

During the 55th minute, after Jojo Fifita's try on the right edge, Maroons forward Lindsay Collins took the first hit-up from the kick-off.

He made contact with three Blues defenders but ended up losing the ball following the initial hit.

What seemed to be a simple handling mistake turned into a point of contention as Collins insisted he was hit with an illegal shoulder charge.

In response, Queensland opted to challenge the ruling, but were left bewildered when the Bunker determined that Collins had knocked the ball on.

This decision has sparked debates among fans and analysts alike, questioning the consistency and clarity of Bunker calls during crucial moments.
