Broken record here, but Rugby League should not be ruled at 1/25th of a second.

If you can't tell in real time, then benefit of the doubt needs to go to the attacking team.

Save the bunker for the howlers only - it's ruining my enjoyment of the game.

Gagai didn’t drop the ball. I guess maybe it’s a rugby league drop (I don’t think it was at all but whatever) but why have we invented a concept of dropping the ball that doesn’t involve dropping the ball?

The concept of having to regather the ball in the act of scoring a try is nonsensical given that the act of scoring a try usually involves something that would be a knock-on in general play anyway.

Which is why it's important to have control of the ball. If you drop the ball and use the ground to regather it, it's a knock on.

Yes which is why forcing the ball isn’t the same as carrying it in general play, because in general play banging the ball into the ground and letting it go isn’t allowed…

If when slamming a ball on the ground it separates from your hand a nanosecond that doesn’t mean you lost control of it.

Funny how Fox show a brand new angle which wasn't shown in that Gagai disallowed try. And from that particular angle, it looked more of a no try than the other angles.
