Here's another chance for commentators to make fools of themselves arguing the toss over a clear black and white double movement.

Arm touching the ground, even slightly, is automatically held

Isn't the rule that if he's been touched by other players even if it's one on one, it's still a penalty?

Lol that's an obvious no try, what is wrong with these commentators?

The ball-carrying arm touching the ground constituting when a 'tackle' has taken place is is use for situations involving the double movement (i.e. when a player tries to use that second effort to ground the ball)

Even if the ball-carrying arm of the Broncos player slightly brushed the ground, it was still in one motion (i.e. not a second attempt at grounding the ball).

Absolute joke. I know it's going to have no outcome on the final result, but how could the bunker get that wrong?

Suck shit broncos - with the amount of BS calls we've copped this season I have absolutely zero sympathy for anyone else

If he doesn't extend his arm he doesn't score. Once you touch the ground you cannot extend to find the line
