Parramatta Eels secured a crucial victory over the Brisbane Broncos in a nail-biting finish, while the North Queensland Cowboys emerged triumphant against the St. George Illawarra Dragons in another captivating NRL round. The Eels’ win, arguably their most significant of the season under Jason Ryles, was sealed after a controversial Bunker decision denied a last-gasp try to Reece Walsh, sparking debate and drama at Suncorp Stadium.

The match was a back-and-forth affair, with both teams displaying impressive resilience and attacking prowess. The Broncos, riding high on a winning streak, looked poised to extend their dominance in the dying moments. However, a late surge from the Eels, coupled with Walsh’s disputed try, ultimately proved decisive. Replays showed the young Broncos fullback may have been marginally offside, a call that left many fans questioning the Bunker’s interpretation.

“It’s a tough one to swallow, especially for a young player like Reece,” commented former NRL star, Darren Lockyer, on Fox League. “The Bunker’s role is to ensure accuracy, but these marginal calls can have a significant impact on the game’s outcome.” The Eels players celebrated a hard-fought win, acknowledging the importance of maintaining composure under pressure.

Elsewhere, the Cowboys showcased their strength and skill, overcoming the Dragons in a spirited contest. The Cowboys' forward pack dominated the early stages, setting the platform for their backs to exploit gaps in the Dragons' defence. A clinical kicking game and strong defensive efforts ensured the Cowboys remained in control throughout the match. While the Dragons fought valiantly, they were unable to break down the Cowboys' resolute resistance.
