Wasn't the knock on in the same play as the try?

No. The play starts after the play the ball.

Doesn't the play start when the previous tackle is complete as the players elbow touches the ground?
No. After the play ball. The same point that the defence is allowed to move off the line if that helps.
Same as when they call 6 again for ruck infringement then the ball is dropped. It's a lost ball because it's the next play.
But 6 again for offside and the ball drop becomes a penalty because it's the same play.
Nine were saying the bunker can rule on the ruck/play the ball.....but I have seen what youre saying....there is 'dead time' so to speak between tackle complete and the ball clearing the ruck, I remember some years back a player stepping on the touchline once during this "dead time" and the ref allowed play on.
All that said...the ref saw it and apparently called it out in play...again according to nine comms
Do you ref?
Only kids games and rarely do that anymore. Can no longer commit weekly as I work weekends
Definitely allowed to step out after the tackle is complete, in the act of playing the ball for example a foot on the sideline would be play on. The dummy half however could not.
Cant comment on the ref seeing it. Sometimes a ref might see 'something' but unsure on exactly what. They then communicate with their touchie who clears it or basically just doesn't help make a decision so play on ends up happening because you don't know what you actually saw to make a ruling otherwise.

Wayne Bennett blasting the refs … someone won’t have a job very soon
Becoming something common for the coaches to call it out. Something will happen. Every game gets different speed and sometimes during the game the way the game is ref changes as well.

I just saw what Bennett was whinging about (didn’t watch much of the game), and wow. Apparently this was in the play the ball and allowed to play on
Replays, however, showed Ben Trbojevic appeared to drop it at the play-the-ball in the lead-up.
Referee Adam Gee later told Rabbitohs players the ball only came off the ground because of “sticky spray”. “He never loses control of it, he plants it down and it comes up,” Gee added.
Manly get away with Burbo error

Gee has done a Bill Harrigan.
Gee has some explaining to do....what he says is actually correct...but it has NEVER been this way theres been mamy instances of the ball sticking to a players hand due to the sticky spray....and these have always been called a knock on.

I’m almost certain it’s happened to us before , and of course it was ruled a knock on
Yeah that 12 point turnaround from the no try ruling (which was a try) to that knock on just before Manly’s try (which shouldn’t have been a try) knocked the wind out of Souths. Might’ve been a different result altogether. These are the mistakes that cruel the game for a team.

Not just Burbo's knock on playing the ball, but Souffs had a legitimate try disallowed.
I see no reason to keep the Bunker. Even AI would be better.

I thought the Souths no try probably wasn't a try. I probably wouldn't have overturned the on-field call as i think there was to much doubt to overturn it but did think it initial grounding was on the sideline.
