It was stinker of a call and ruined a great try. How they got a forward pass from Anthony Milford last pass to Ben Hunt I don't know...... The video is in the link
"AS the Brisbane Broncos impersonated the Harlem Globetrotters on Thursday night, not everyone wanted tickets to the show.
The home side looked to have scored a certain try early in the second half of its 32-8 win over the Sydney Roosters when Ben Hunt finished off a game of hot-potato by crossing the stripe.
Hammered for its lacklustre attack early in the season, Brisbane line breaks were as regular as Craig Bellamy blow-ups in the first 50 minutes of the match. Its daring approach was set to be rewarded with another four-pointer to stretch its lead into double digits against the Sydney side.
But leading 14-8, officials disallowed Hunt’s try when they called the miracle play back for a forward pass.
Anthony Milford had the ball on the break before he was trapped by a defender about 10m out from the tryline. The out-of-sorts playmaker was back to his best on Thursday night and managed to get a hand free and slipped a brilliant offload back to Hunt who was trailing in support.
But as Hunt slammed the ball in the in-goal before getting to his feet and shoving Roosters centre Latrell Mitchell, the referees cut the celebrations short by bringing the play back for what was deemed a forward pass from Milford to his halves partner.
To the naked eye it seemed the ball went backwards and replays only confirmed that suspicion.
“What? No!” Penrith legend and Fox Sports commentator Greg Alexander said. “We’re behind the action but you could clearly see Milford pushed it backwards out of his hand.
“Who’s calling that? Who made that call?”
Alexander’s colleague Warren Smith agreed the Broncos were robbed.
“That is a real howler against the Broncos,” he said. “They’ve been hard done by there.”
