South Sydney coach Wayne Bennett has reiterated his long-standing disapproval of the bunker system following a contentious decision during Friday night’s match. A key ruling in the second half, initially made on the field, was subsequently overturned by the bunker officials, sparking outrage from Bennett. The coach was visibly upset with the reversal, which he believes negatively impacted his team’s momentum. Bennett has consistently voiced his opposition to the bunker, and this latest incident has intensified his calls for its removal from the National Rugby League. He believes the system introduces unnecessary interference and ultimately detracts from the game. This is not the first time Bennett has publicly criticised the bunker’s decisions, highlighting a persistent tension between coaches and video review officials in the NRL. The incident is expected to fuel further debate surrounding the role and accuracy of the bunker in professional rugby league.
