Fair enough if that's a should charge, but why did the bunker not intervene when McGuire put an awful crusher on Bukuya?

It's the fact that they pick and choose where they overrule seemingly at random that is the issue.

Dare I say we just saw the Grand Final preview?

Well played Sharks, your first half won it in the end. We had a few players who had shockers.

The bunker is making itself a massive joke. It was almost like they were intentionally trying to piss off Sharks fans by favouring the Broncos at the end there with that insanely biased intervention on one shoulder charge and then completely ignoring Milfords.

When the emotion dies down, Sharks,fans will realise that was the least contentious call of the game. It was the very definition of a shoulder charge.

Also not knowing the rules

The bunker is out of control. That wasn't a shoulder charge. Bukuya was bracing himself as hunt changed direction and he hit his chest anyway. No way it's a reportable offense. the NRL need to do something before it costs a team a final.

Well done both teams. Brisbane are class and was good to see them being forced to play footy chasing a lead. Sharks are a clear top 4 team but I think still need to improve to match the broncs/cows in a big finals game, especially since it will likely be in Qld.

did well to make a game of it, noone likes to play at that hole of a place

everything Cronulla did in the first half worked, possession swung and we showed we're capable of the same, defensively we weren't at our best and that's why we lost

Now given we lost this game because Parker can't kick anywhere but in front, can we please just give Kahu the job permanently.

f**k this daylight game shit.
Anyway I knew it was going to be a hard slog down there.
Happy with the comeback.
With a full strength team we are still premiership favourites.

Came to congratulate Sharks fans, and I see merkins sooking about the refs. You won ffs

90% of the people whinging about refs in here aren't Shark fans. Mostly neutrals and some maroon coloured glasses wearing Bronco fans.

Well done sharkies fans. Classy team this year. Always been friendly people when they come up to suncorp.
Hopefully waddell learns to pass behind him before the manly game or start kikorima

Funny how everyone is saying it wasn't a shoulder charge, but roostah won't have a bar of it.

I agree with skeepe though, the biggest issue is the inconsistency in which the bunker decides to get involved. They should be tries or nothing. The Sharks losing because of the bunker would have brought about change for sure, it's almost a shame that they held on as it means the NRL can keep sweeping the issue under the rug (until a Sydney team is affected)
