Match Notes
ABC Sport's radio coverage reported just before the match that the NRL Bunker had been impacted by a major national outage from telecommunications company Telstra, and as a result, Gerard Sutton would replace Chris Butler as Sr Review Official, utilising broadcast facilities onsite. The NRL later confirmed that the Bunker was fully operational for the entire match and that Butler fulfilled his duties as appointed.
