That worries me about next week if that same Bunker official (is there) or if he or someone else is going off the same script, then I’m concerned.”

There are a lot of referees not reffing next week and they’re some of the best in the game, so surely someone can work that out.
“Wayne Bennett– the most effective of perpetuity– appeared after their video game versus Newcastle and he was 100 percent right. He claimed that somebody’s mosting likely to experience in the finals. There’s no understanding of what we’re really attempting to do and the play we’re attempting to run, specifically when it’s run appropriately.
“Sifa got taken off straight after because I think Fitzy knew how fatigued he was. That pretty much says it all. I know we got through the game tonight, but next week is the biggest game of the year and I’d hate for something like that to happen.”
