And then you have that.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s not going to change what happens next week either. So in fact, if I\u2019m sooking about it, it will put pressure on me next week.\u201d <\/p>\n Munster’s cheeky flirt with St Helen’s | 00:44<\/p>\n Fitzgibbon, perhaps courageously, brought up the world \u2018integrity\u2019 when talking about the Bunker\u2019s influence and how it is changing some on-field decisions but not others.<\/p>\n \u201cI don\u2019t want to challenge the integrity of the game, but I\u2019d like to see the integrity of the game remain. A forward pass is a forward pass, and if you\u2019re going to back the referee, back the referee. But don\u2019t back him some weeks and then turn around the week after and don\u2019t do it,\u201d Fitzgibbon said. <\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/1788636395_270_poster-fallback.png\"\/)
