‘That is the best dive I’ve seen’: Bunker slammed over latest ‘embarrassing’ call in thriller

Despite being without their Origin stars, the Melbourne Storm and Dolphins have played out a 30-24 thriller at Suncorp Stadium.

But the Storm called for a captain’s challenge, arguing that Dolphins lock Max Plath had obstructed Storm hooker Bronson Garlick.The replay appeared to show Plath running on the outside shoulder of Garlick but even the most one-eyed fan would struggle to argue the hooker didn’t chase the contact before falling to the ground.

“Textbook, yes, but I’m sure Garlick, if he just held his ground, he stays on his feet there. He barely brushes his arm.Smith said that calls such as that would stay in the game because of the way they’re officiated. “The Phins should have taken a leaf out of Garlick’s book. Brush a lead runner, go to ground, get the penalty.”But fans blew up late in the match as well when Sua Faalogo looked to have raced away for a length of the field try, only to be penalised after he ran behind Jahrome Hughes.
