Looking at the wording of the rule, seems like the correct call though.
Code:
Possible Eight Point Try 
If a player fouls an opponent who is touching down for a try, a penalty kick at goal shall be taken from 
in front of the goal posts after the attempt to convert the try.
Touching down includes: 
a . In the act of scoring; and 
b . Until the try scorer regains his feet

In fairness, Eels fans have a reason to be salty.

It's all well and good saying that a call is correct, the problem is for years there has been zero consistency on certain rules, with refs only acting once in a blue moon.

Unless refs have been told to crack down on tackles in the act of scoring 9 times out 10 that would never be a penalty try.

Looks like another try here, this is just poor covering up.
Johnson there again in no mans land.

That Warriors edge again.

So so pathetic.

It's so frustrating when the forwards do a decent job only for pussy shit on the edges to open up constantly.

I do completely agree with that.
If it weren't for the blood river coming from the nose, I don't think they would have given the 8 point try.
