Chris Sutton appointed for the Broncos game. Why didn't they just get both Sutton boys to referee the Broncos?

The games in a really bad state if they seriously consider either Sutton in the top 8 referees in the game.

Such an open finals series this year and some great games this weekend. I just hope *gulp* that the refs don't completely **** it up. I hope the Rabbitohs and Warriors do well as they have both been enjoyable to watch this year, Rabbits in particular. Some really slick backline play with them standing and playing so deep. Sure beats watching the Storm and Roosters wrestle the opposition out of the game. Broncos have been playing some decent ball too but I just can't cheer them on with the amount of blatant leg ups they've received this year. There was about 4 or 5 games they were gifted early in the season and without those wins they would not have made the finals because their confidence would have been shot.

Disgraceful arm lock applied on Inglis.

Edit - looked almost like a 'key lock.

Yep, horrid call. The NRL wants bunnies to win do they?

But you know, it’s just our bias because we love the Raiders so much... refs are fine

Bunnies getting some very dodgy calls their way at the moment. It’s like watching Broncos at Lang Park.

A tiny bit of justice for Austin being called forward (on a pass that went clearly backwards) in the 2016 major semifinal against Storm in Melbourne 2016.

Great game dodge calls aside.

Not really semi final defense though.
