WARRIORS ROBBED?! & Roosters Blowout Sharks | NRL Finals Week 2 Review With Michael Caryannis

NRL FINALS WEEK 2 REVIEW!

Chad Townsend breaks down all the biggest talking points from a huge second week of the 2026 NRL Finals.

Were the Warriors robbed against the Knights at Eden Park?

Newcastle escaped with a controversial 12–10 victory after several major refereeing and Bunker decisions became talking points, including the late Tyson Frizell escort decision, the Ali Leiataua knock-on reversal and the Te Maire Martin strip call.

The Warriors have since sought clarification from the NRL over the officiating.We also break down the Roosters' incredible 46–10 demolition of the Sharks at Allianz Stadium.

Sydney scored five second-half tries to blow Cronulla away, with Daly Cherry-Evans producing three try assists and a try, while the Sharks lost Nicho Hynes to a failed HIA early in the game.
