Haven’t seen it live but going off that pic they have 100% made the correct call, you can’t see any part of the ball on the line, and you can see a hand under the ball

thats Andersons hand... it happens pretty fast but you will probably change your mind when you see the replay.

Yep, and it is covering up any point where you can actually see the ball on the ground to overturn a decision. His hand on the line also suggests that the ball can’t be, the ball would be on top of his wrist
are you being pedantic Beaver? its more than just my "dodgy" screenshot for the bunker to go on. watch the replay and then come back to me. the ball is on the bloody line.

As I said mate just going off that pic, didn’t watch all of the game, just off that pic there is no evidence of ball on the line

k ive swapped out the screenshot for the highlights video. :) 1`min mark.
i dont know if the bunker watches the replay in normal speed but for it not to be a try would be defying the laws of physics and gravity.
i would be interested to know if the ref consults his linesmen before going try/no try, as that linesman was in the perfect position and Smith wasnt.

Have to be honest, based on that highlight package, I didn't see a try. It looked short to me. Joey clearly wanted it to be a try, he called it on the line when there was absolutely no evidence that it was from that view.

I'm not sure how that defies physics/gravity? It looks like he hits the line short then they flip him up.
