Jason Paris, chief executive of One NZ, initially accused NRL referees of “cheating of the highest order” in a tweet following New Zealand’s 18-6 loss to the Panthers. “However, I do believe that there is unconscious bias happening every week against the Warriors & it needs to be addressed. But Warriors great Logan Swann and Dean Bell echoed Paris’ claims and Swann has even taken the leap to contact the NRL. You can’t keep sweeping it under the carpet,” Swann, who played 195 games for the Warriors, said to Stuff.co.nz. It just speaks to the idea that they’re just indentured servants to rugby league and Australia.
