Fed up with the ongoing drama in the NRL, James Graham has unleashed a fiery proposal to shake up the bunker system after a turbulent round nine.
The former NRL great has called for change after a series of contentious decisions that marred the weekend's games.
Graham was left seething after Melbourne's controversial victory over Gold Coast, where a late penalty awarded to the Storm effectively ended any hopes of a Titans comeback.
The bunker's ruling that Jojo Fifita had stripped the ball off Nick Meaney left Graham questioning the credibility of the system.
Adding to the frustration, the video officials awarded a try to Phil Sami in a decision that left even Sami himself surprised.
With cameras capturing a mischievous grin on Sami's face after what many believed was a knock on, the bunker's inconsistency was on full display.
In another match, Souths winger Izaac Thompson was given a try despite appearing to bounce the ball over the line during a tackle.
These questionable calls came just days after NRL head of football Graham Annesley defended the bunker's controversial decision to disallow a try for the Wests Tigers.
The uproar over these incidents has reignited the debate over the effectiveness of the bunker, with Graham leading the charge for change.
The Warriors also felt aggrieved in round nine after a penalty try was not awarded against Newcastle, further fueling the controversy surrounding the officiating in the league.
As the NRL grapples with mounting criticism over the bunker system, Graham's bold proposal for an overhaul reflects the frustration felt by fans and players alike.
It remains to be seen whether his plea for change will be met with action as the league navigates through the fiery fallout of another contentious round of rugby league action.
