Is that the way you want to play? State of Origin, Game 2, 2007.So you agree then that Thaiday's try was legit and NSW have NOT won a series in over 10 years?
The simple fact is that the refs err on the side of knock on any time the ball is dislodged from a player's hands in the act of scoring a try. It is consistent with past rulings.
Queensland win 10-6 by scoring a try off a forward pass.
Had the forward pass been called, NSW would've had the ball in good attacking range. So no, I don't agree that NSW wouldn't have won a series in over 10 years.

A pass (that appeared to be forward but was allowed by the referee) went to Thurston who, keeping the ball alive, chipped a grubbing kick through the line of defence for centre Steven Bell to pick up and dive over the try-line in the corner.
Now stay on topic.
