So why wasn't that a try NSW?
You haven't been allowed to run behind a decoy since 1908.

I've seen ball handlers literally fall over like they've been shot to avoid doing it because it's been an automatic penalty for 105 seasons.

Knew that was happening. All these old league players saying "No try", but the video ref (and all referees) have no feel for the game, and don't care about defenders having to anticipate illegal play or some such.

They measure the distance to the ball carrier and if it seems too great, say "he wouldn't get there". Referees and players have very different expectations, and that moment highlighted it.
