‘No way’: NRL’s decision on painful Eels calls
Graham Annesley has backed a couple of controversial Bunker calls out of Saturday night’s game in Newcastle that will only add to the frustration of Parramatta fans who feel their side was denied two tries by the Bunker.
The Eels ultimately went down 34-26 to the Knights, with wingers Maika Sivo and Blaize Talagi denied tries that could have easily changed the outcome of the contest.
They were just some of the calls out of a controversial night in the Hunter, but Annesley has backed the officials, also declaring they were right to award the hosts a try despite Clint Gutherson being blocked by the referee as he tried to make a tackle.
The tightest call on the night came in the second half when Talagi thought he’d scored his third try, only for the referee to rule he’d grounded the ball short and then slid the ball forward, constituting a knock-on.
