Lol... Sione lost control of the ball. it was in his hand, then it was lost before being grounded by his arm. Therefore he lost control.

CONTROVERSY erupted late in Newcastle’s 22-12 loss to the Bulldogs when the men in the Bunker robbed the Novocastrians of what appeared to be a certain try.

Knights back-rower Sione Mata’utia got on the end of a grubber and looked for all money to have grounded the ball in the in-goal. The on-field officials thought so but video referee Jarrod Maxwell disagreed, saying the 20-year-old lost control of the Steeden.

The decision wasn’t well received by the home fans, nor by Penrith Panthers legend Ryan Girdler.

“That’s a try every day of the week,” Girdler said on Triple M. “That’s ridiculous, what a farce.”

The Dogs were leading 18-12 with less than 10 minutes to play when Mata’utia was denied and the Knights couldn’t recover from the disappointment. A Canterbury try in the dying seconds wrapped up the win for the visitors.

Blah blah blah........ http://www.news.com.au/sport/nrl/na...s/news-story/be93134bd0076c94075a92556f40d196 if your interested.
Watching the replay on this article, it wasn't that unclear that the ball had popped out of his hands, was between his arms in the air before he fell on it.

We where a bit lucky there, but its not that controversial, and didn't look at all certain did it?

Honestly, i think that last try was a try(well not enough evidence to not award it) but the hard thing is we don't see all the angles that the video ref does unless something has changed that i don't know about.

He lost control of the ball, he needed to regain possession - falling on the ball wasn't enough

It wasn't. Not even close. He lost the ball on the way down. Nothing else other than a dropped ball could have been ruled.

From the angles i saw i didn't see any conclusive evidence to not award it but as i said in my other post, i don't think we get all the angles the vid ref does. Either way happy to see to awarded no try :grinning:

FFS...
What a load of hot fucking shit...
Sensationalist hogwash/codswallop at best...
The lost ball was as clear as the intention of the article and this thread...

was 50/50 I thought, he looked to have lost it on the angles they were showing then after it was disallowed they showed another angle where it appeared his fingers never lost contact with the ball....what stood out to me though was just how dumb those Matatatartiua's (fucked if know how they spell it) are time after time dumb and low percentage plays from all the brothers.....we dodged a bullet with them in what could have been another Des disaster signing coup
