The No Try

[jirskyr]

Technically no try…..in reality a try every day of the week.

I don't even see it being technically a try.

A bomb is defused when you come down with complete and full control of the ball after leaving from your own in-goal.

Lawrence already has the ball more than half away before they both touch down, at which point he pulls away with the footy.

How Aubusson can be judged to have had control at any point is complete rubbish.

100% wrong decision and Archer needs to come clean. They are lucky it had no bearing on the game.

It has been so long since Lawrence scored the ref just assumed it wasn't a try.

If that doesn't happen in the in goal area, but say one metre out. Lawrence goes for the ball, its one on one and he comes up with it. Wouldn't the tackle count then restart for the Tigers? Yet in goal it is considered a 20m restart for the Roosters.

Should have been a try.

It didn't cost us the game but 22-6 may have given the Tigers some hope of keeping the scoreboard a bit closer.

That is exactly right; never had control.

Terrible decision, but wouldn't have changed the result.

Doesn't change the result yes, however gives us a sniff. Whether we did anything with it, thats for another day.

Was a totally wrong decision but you expect nothing else from the inept onfield and video referees of the NRL. Both players had the ball in the air and when they hit the ground Lawrence had the ball and scored the try. 100% wrong decision that had no affect on the overall game.

 

[goldcoast_tiger]

Under that ruling. Does it now mean that you can jump for the ball , drop it on the way down, and still be considered to have taken the ball ?? Same thing.
Has to be the dumbest decision for a long time.

 

[sunshine_coast_tiger]

For mine they need to seriously re-write the rule book soon. It should read a bomb is caught when a player with full control of the ball lands in the ingoal with both feet on the ground, simple. Should even have a part clarifying what happens if their is contested mid air ball and state the player landing with possession of the ball has the advantage. Lawrence was not tackling a player in air he was contesting for a ball in the air and won, should have been a try under any rule.

What annoyed me most was how Horsehead was so quick to rule no try.
Garbage decision but as others have said we were flogged so it'll get swept under the rug.
Losing interest in NRL more and.more with this incompetence

Lol can't believe Lawrence actually score a try off a bomb. He's one of the worst when it comes to high balls.

Irony wasnt lost on me. Jumped higher than he has in 5 years.

Actually I've noticed Lawrence has been jumping high a lot this year, it's just the timing of his jumps that have been out.

i think it's more his hands tbh.. he seems very un coordinated in general when it comes to multijoint mvt imo..

 

[Milky]

What annoyed me the most is that the on field referee ruled no try even though he didn't see what happened. The referee should be able to not give a call. The old system was better IMO.

Yep, the equine comparison gave me a chuckle, and whilst I obviously follow WT with a passion, the game overall has lost me a bit, but more so because of the interchange and resultant demise of skill. Hope there are significant changes in the number allowed asap.
