There were a few calls that went the Broncos way in the first half.
Not saying that Warriors would have won the game but as a neutral, the spectacle was taken away after the missed forward pass (this led to points!) and the sin binning. The ref should have known it was a massive blunder and just ignored the sin binning as a square up. Instead the square up calls come in the last couple of minutes. I thought if the warriors stayed within 2 converted tries they were a chance but ref decided to change styles and just kept nit picking at the warriors.
- Egan got hit high in first half - no penalty yet in the 2nd half, there was a soft high shot called in favour of Broncos.
- Warriors marker got taken out which led to Broncos 2nd or 3rd try
- Egan got called for a forward pass that didnt look very forward
It seems so easy to rig an NRL game at the top level since the players are so good but the ref was just hopeless they dont really need to rig anything to get the final the NRL wanted.
