In a controversial move reminiscent of a knock-on call in a Grand Final, the NRL has decided to drop referee Ziggy Przeklasa-Adamski for round three.
It all stems from a Bulldogs try that was disallowed due to the referee obstructing Cronulla's five-eighth Braydon Trindall in the play leading up to the try.
As Viliame Kikau's try was deemed null and void, the rugby league world was left scratching their heads at the decision.
The incident saw Przeklasa-Adamski collide with Trindall as he tried to make a tackle on Kikau, leading to the try being disallowed after a lengthy bunker review.
In a move that could be likened to a forward pass in Golden Point extra time, the NRL has sidelined Przeklasa-Adamski for the upcoming round of games.
However, he will still be involved as a touch judge when the Wests Tigers take on Cronulla at Leichhardt Oval.
This decision has sparked a furore in the rugby league community, with Penrith star Jarome Luai weighing in on the controversy surrounding Jahrome Hughes' ban.
It's a case of deja vu for Przeklasa-Adamski, whose handling of the situation has left fans and players alike questioning the consistency of refereeing decisions in the game.
But, as they say in the rugby league world, the show must go on.
Fans can expect more drama, more controversy, and more nail-biting moments as round three kicks off without Przeklasa-Adamski at the helm.
Let's see how this all plays out on the field - will it be a game-changer or just another chapter in the rich tapestry of rugby league history? Only time will tell.
