E\ufeffxperts were left confused over the Bunker's decision to put Tom Flegler<\/a> on report early during the Broncos shock 18-12 loss<\/a> to the Titans<\/a>, only days after its coach Justin Holbrook was ruthlessly sacked<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Queensland Maroons prop went hard into a tackle on Jaimin Jolliffe which wasn't initially penalised.<\/p>\n

Jolliffe then stayed down before the Bunker intervened and Flegler was put on report.<\/p>\n

Footage showed Flegler's head clearly connected with Jolliffe's shoulder, however the contact towards the Titans prop's head wasn't completely clear.<\/p>\n

On commentary, league legend Steve 'Blocker' Roach wasn't certain the Broncos prop had connected high with his opponent. \ufeff<\/p>\n

"I don't think so … Flegler got hit on the chin from the shoulder of Jolliffe," he said on Fox League.<\/p>\n

Broncos legend Steve Renouf agreed on the sideline.<\/p>\n

"\ufeffI agree boys, there's not much in that, I thought it was a great hit but there you go," he said.<\/p>\n

Flegler will now await a decision from the match review committee. \ufeff<\/p>\n

For the Broncos, it was a case of dysfunctional attack and \ufeffa number of opportunities missed with the Bunker having an incredibly busy afternoon.<\/p>\n

Flegler started the day with a try in the 28th minute, moments after he was put on report.<\/p>\n

David Fifita then helped level proceedings right on half-time, barging over close to the line.<\/p>\n

The Titans hit back after the break with Brian Kelly going over to make it 10-6. \ufeff<\/p>\n

Alofiana Khan-Pereira showed incredible pace in the 52nd minute to burn Selwyn Cobbo down the sideline with an upset on the cards.<\/p>\n

Controversy reigned not long after when Reece Walsh appeared to have scored. However, the Bunker ruled Jordan Riki had obstructed David Fifita in the lead up.<\/p>\n

The Titans second-rower then came under scrutiny from Roach.<\/p>\n

"He played it pretty well, Academy award there for Fifita," he said.<\/p>\n

Brisbane eventually broke through with Ezra Mam scoring to make it 12-6 with 18 minutes left. \ufeff<\/p>\n

\ufeffThe home side's afternoon was summed up when Reece Walsh over ran in support of Selwyn Cobbo from a kick return, and was then marched 10 metres for verbal dissent. Tanah Boyd kicked the penalty goal to seal a 18-12 win.<\/p>\n

NRL premiership winner Michael Ennis was strong in his criticism of the Broncos.<\/p>\n

"I think Brisbane threw that away," he said.\ufeff<\/p>\n

"Kevvie Walters will be livid with his side, there was a couple of really bad chances missed in that second half but overall I don't think it had the intensity of what we've seen from Brisbane this year."\ufeff\ufeff<\/p>\n
