Round 7 spoilers

I am not sure wasn’t this similar to the one we scored against Dragons in 2011 finals when Benji appeared to drop the ball but it came off his boot to deflect as a kick and was awarded but I could be wrong

Remember it well it was howler and somehow ended up as a try.
 
I remember that try well. I’m on tv in the background when they are celebrating in the in goal area. Or in-gold area as Blockers refers to it as.

Yeah, from memory this one bounced up a bit and barely grazed his ankle or shin.
I was surprised we got it
 
To Billy Slaters credit he tried to say it was no try to the ref and to the Broncos.

He's rocks and diamonds in terms of how he plays the game TBH.

The diving stuff is completely naff. as is the kicking players in the head on the jump.

However the Wolfman incident where Billy kept David WIlliams neck and head supported until help arrived also resonates with me.

Yes, Benji attempted to kick the ball and took an air swing, but his foot grazed the ball after it hit the ground. See on youtube:

Yes, Benji attempted to kick the ball and took an air swing, but his foot grazed the ball **after it hit the ground.** See on youtube:

Before it hit the ground. The worst kick imaginable, but a kick all the same.

Anyway, didn't get us anything special in the end.

Or a thoroughly terrific kick, depending on your POV.

I thought it was a knock-on and so did the three members of the commentary team. But, as you say, it amounted to nothing in the end.
 
The difference with Benji’s try and Slaters is that Benji had control before he tried to kick it Billy didn’t have control.
 
Canberra are awful though. Burgess lucky not to get sent off. It's 42-12 if anyone is interested. Still over 16 to play.
 
A dog of a game. Parra attack has nothing. The only team they have scored points against is us after the game was over.
