Official Jesse Ramien

It was an interesting one, for sure. Someone might have a better answer on when the bunker has full authority. Perhaps the ref needs to hand the decision over, which he didn't do in this case

Edit: this was educational:

Huh. They must have taken it down due to our scrutiny...

This is the official link:

And here's a (cough AI cough) summary so you don't have to read all of this boring ****:

According to the document, specifically in the section "NRL Bunker – Official Review Room" on pages 25-28, the referee can ask for a bunker review, but the final decision-making authority remains with the referee on the field.
  • The bunker reviews incidents when a challenge is initiated by the captain or when the referee requests a review.
  • The bunker provides advice, recommendations, or confirms decisions based on video evidence.
  • The referee uses the bunker’s input to make the final ruling on the field.
  • The referee is not obligated to accept the bunker’s findings blindly but typically follows the bunker’s advice since the bunker has access to multiple camera angles and replay technology.
  • The referee retains discretion and judgment in applying the bunker’s review to the game situation.
  • If the bunker finds an infringement or error, the referee will usually overturn or amend the on-field decision.
  • If the bunker finds the original decision correct or the review inconclusive, the referee will uphold the original ruling.
  • The referee can also call time off to allow the bunker to complete its review before restarting play.
In summary, the referee can request a bunker review and considers the bunker’s findings carefully, but the referee has the ultimate authority to accept or reject the bunker’s advice when making rulings on the field.

This is detailed in the "NRL Bunker – Official Review Room" section starting on page 25, including the process for challenges, reviews, and the referee’s role in final decisions.

AI missed a few mate.

  • The bunker is not obligated to make the correct call at any time
  • The bunker reserves the right to use a magic 8 ball
  • Should Jesse Ramien appear in any frame of the video, award a penalty against the Sharks
