Warriors CEO seeks clarification on refereeing decisions after semi-final loss

New Zealand Warriors chief executive Cameron George has contacted the NRL for clarity on several controversial refereeing decisions from the sudden-death final against the Newcastle Knights on September 20, 2026. George's inquiry focuses on three rulings, including a knock-on call and a penality involving Te Maire Martin, which could have impacted the match outcome. Following the game, referees faced abuse and projectiles from fans, prompting an investigation by the NRL's integrity unit. ARLC Chairman Peter V'landys stated that individuals responsible will face bans from NRL matches. The match drew 48,511 attendees at Eden Park, marking a record attendance for NRL in New Zealand.
