NRL REF CRISIS? Finals Controversy & Prelim Preview

Does the NRL have a refereeing problem? This week on Down the Sideline, we break down the biggest controversial calls from Roosters v Sharks and Knights v Warriors, including the missed Tyson Frizell escort, the DCE sin-bin debate and the growing frustration around six-again calls. We also review Newcastle’s win over the Warriors, look back at the Roosters ending Cronulla’s season, and Boldo gives his verdict on whether the Sharks’ 2026 campaign was a success or a failure. Then we turn our attention to the preliminary finals, including Roosters v Dolphins, the keys to victory for each side, the finals kick-off time debate, tips and our upset alert. * * * Hosted on Acast.
