It was more legit then most of the Dragon's tries.
The guy was reaching out for a try, Soward pretty much stripped it, play on, Anasta got there first.
It's like 1 on 1 strips in the field of play, if the defender strips it the team that had the ball can come through and pick it up and play on.
I hate both teams but the Roosters were definitely robbed by some very poor decisions.
As for the Dragons being the better team, that was only after they got that lead and could relax, the Roosters were then playing catch up footy in the wet.
Before the Dragons got their lead and some more dodgy calls it was anyone's game.
Although, I think if Perret didn't tackle Morris in the air the whole game could've been different. Morris was dropping the ball before Perret hit him, the Roosters would've had the ball in a good spot and if they scored they would've got momentum, who knows what happens then?
Instead he did something dumb and a minute later the Dragons get another dodgy call go their way when Morris pushed Perret, they scored straight after. Those couple of minutes had a massive impact on the game.
Are you honestly saying that soward stripped the ball with his thigh
