The Newcastle Knights have bundled the Warriors out of the NRL finals in straight sets at Eden Park, and the argument since has been about whether the referees decided it. Three calls in the final 15 minutes are under the microscope, headlined by the Tyson Frizell escort with the Warriors in possession on the 40-metre line. The panel is split on whether it was a clear penalty or a call the bunker was never going to overturn. We also break down the ugly post-match scenes, what the NRL should do if the culprits are identified, and whether Ashley Klein and Adam Gee have done enough to keep their whistles for the preliminary finals.
