   Jake Duke: NRL commentator on referee Ashley Klein being removed from duty from NRL finals

   It was recently confirmed that NRL referee Ashley Klein has been removed from duty from the preliminary finals following 3 heavily controversial calls in the Warriors' semi-final defeat to the Knights on Sunday. Klein and the Bunker came under heavy fire from the general public and media on both sides of the Tasman - as a missed obstruction penalty in the final minutes would've given the Warriors a chance to send the game to golden point. Jake Duke is an NRL commentator with Fox League, he joined D'Arcy to discuss. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener (https://omnystudio.com/listener) for privacy information.
