No Separation

Watching the Knights-Rabbitohs game and the attempted put down by Tuimavave late in the game was instantly dismissed by the VR.
After watching it again on slow mo there was no separation as he went to put the ball down. His pinky stayed in contact the whole time.
Where is the consistency shown? Was it not glamourous enough? Was it that the game was already decided?
Thoughts?

Thought he knocked it on before he put it down.
What about the knock-on by Gidley that led to a try and why wasn't it referred to the video ref?

Doesn't matter anyway, game is over.

The better team won . . . I think. Looking forward to the lollypop finals series with refereeing like this

Those rulings only come into play if you happen to be doing something highlight-reel worthy.

All other tries you actually have to put the ball down.

That was my thoughts when I posted. If he had done a backflip over someone's head and got up with one finger in the air they would have checked every minute detail.

This is one of the reasons VR is so shit.
