No mate definitely not a try.

Could you imagine the outrage here in the forums if the Eels win the game with a try like that?

EDIT: Also just to add, pictures never tell the whole story. I could make any sort of grounding look like a try with a still image.

I'm sorry but that bounced higher than a Nathan Tinkler cheque ... No try in my opinion

Yeah, clearly bounced the ball. Camera angles are interesting though

No try. If we lost a game because of a try like that imagine the outrage here.

Everyone seemed to miss De Gois' forward pass to Corey Norman in the leading up to Semi Radradra's first try.

for mine it was a no try....

but if the on field referee had of called it a try , was there enough evidence to over rule it, based on recent games, and big inconsistencies im glad it didnt come to that and the call by the on field ref was agreed to by nearly all

If the on field ref called try then it would have stood (for other teams, dogs legit try's still get over ruled) very close and closer then the biased commentators let on as shown by the photo above. Even as a one eyed dogs fan I still feel no try but have seen much worse awarded and that's the problem it is a bullshit lottery and can change games and in the finals seasons!!

He should have passed instead of taking the defence on and we would have scored.
