The Luke Roone no try.

The thought the Ref got it wrong.

* Rooney looked short, a bit of push and shove, and the ball was promoted and the ball (I thought via Video) eventually hit the ground.
* Video Ref decision = "Refs call"
* Ref calls held up.

It should have been a penalty for double movement after being "held up"/ stopped short or a try.

I thought the ref would give the benefit of the doubt? I've already said it, but Queenslanders should consider themselves very lucky today. I think NSW will win it 2-1.

Well for starters Rooney was short when he first tried to ground the ball, And secondly there is always some element of doubt with a try that a video ref looks at. On replay some are clear cut, no problem, But if there wasn't any doubt then video refs wouldn't look at so many replays like they do with most of the tries they look at, yet we don't see every try awarded. I think it's all about the level of doubt. Take Slaters and Rooneys, a try and no try.

Slater, even with a clear view you couldn't tell if he brushed the ball with a finger tip. I honestly think that was a 50/50 call. Even bet each way so it was awarded.

Rooney, was short when he first went to ground it, had 4 QLD defenders on him, atleast 2 of those had hands on the ball holding it up when the camera lost sight of the ball. I think that was more a 90% chance he didn't get it down / 10% he did, not enough no try.

Well, when I watched the replay, it looked to me that the ball brushed Slaters left thumb !!!

I think NSW should consider themselves lucky, seeing as they scored 2 tries off forward passes.
