A controversial knock-on call has left the Warriors' NRL top four hopes hanging by a thread, as they fell 26-22 to the Eels at Mt Smart

A controversial knock-on call has left the Warriors' NRL top four hopes hanging by a thread, as they fell 26-22 to the Eels at Mt Smart

30 August 2025 - article from www.rugbyleague.co.nz

The Warriors - who at one stage faced a 16-point deficit - stormed back in the contest, only to have a late Adam Pompey try that would've seen them take the lead denied by the bunker due to a knock-on by forward Demetric Vaimauga in the kick chase.

Coach Andrew Webster is unsure about the bunker's decision.

Meanwhile, Vaimauga made this admission on Sky Sport.
