The NRL is set to embark on an urgent review of the Bunker after a tumultuous weekend that left fans and players scratching their heads.
NRL heavyweights Peter V'landys and Andrew Abdo have pledged to overhaul the league's football department in the wake of the Bunker's disastrous Round 25.
Amidst the chaos, questions were raised about the Bunker's decisions, particularly regarding sin bin offences and high tackles.
Two Sea Eagles players found themselves sin binned for high contact, while Bulldogs captain Stephen Crichton managed to escape sanction for a similar incident.
This inconsistency has ignited a firestorm of criticism, with NRL legend James Graham labeling the officiating as a "complete guessing game" and Michael Ennis lamenting the lack of consistency.
In a bold move, the NRL has handed down a grade two careless high tackle charge to Crichton and reports suggest that Liam Kennedy, the Bunker official from Friday night, may face consequences.
The league is determined to restore order and clarity to the game as the finals loom large on the horizon.
