Re: Canberra Raiders miss out on David Fifita

Re: 2024 NRL Round 4: Teams and Game Day

I hate the Broncos as much as the next guy. But that’s an obstruction. Fedlt can’t be interpreted as a support runner by the video ref when he’s out of play in front of the play the ball - that’s utter nonsense. It's a bogus call, but Feldt through the offload that you led to the break. It's not li...
