Referee Ashley Klein has been heavily criticized for an incredibly poor decision during a recent NRL game.
The incident occurred in the 25th minute of the match between the Storm and the Roosters, with Melbourne leading 6-0.
The Roosters were on the attack, and a defused bomb was touched by Harry Grant.
Despite clear evidence that Grant had not caught the ball, Klein ruled play on, leaving everyone stunned.
The commentators were left confused by Klein's decision, as he was positioned just a few meters away from the incident and had a clear view.
This blunder had a significant impact on the game, and many are calling it a "game-changing" mistake.
Referees in rugby league are expected to make accurate decisions, and Klein's error has sparked outrage among fans and pundits alike.
