If you want to put everything into super slow motion, you'd end up disallowing every try. Football is played in real time. In practical terms, Morris never lost control of that ball.

Agree. Even one of the commentators was about to comment on the fact there is a rule where u cant force the ball against the opposition, but then the green light came up and he didnt bother finishing lol

You said yourself that you had to watch a REALLY slo-mo replay to pick it up. How slo-mo are we going to go to disallow a try? One single frame of footage that suggests lost control?
In real speed, and in the replays they showed during the game, it looked like a fair try.

No matter what speed you look at it, it's not a try.
He hit the ball down on to Boyd's back. Knock on.

Well, sir, I may not agree with what you have to say, sir, but I shall defend to the death your right to say it, sir.

Did you just find a way to call me racist? :finger:
I understand where you are coming from, and from the sportsmen themselves, I expect nothing less. However, from the supporters after a fiery rivalry such as the Origin one... ain't happening mate. It's not bad sportmanship, it's pure hatred! :haha:
Probably has a lot to do with my upbringing in Europe with soccer rivalries you wouldn't believe. Try to get a Real fan to applaud anything Barca does or vice-versa.
The supporters of Ajax Amsterdam and Feyenoord Rotterdam arranged online to meet at some friggin potato field halfway between their cities on the eve of their match so they could belt eachother, because the security was too tight at the stadium. The ensuing field battle resulted in one death and hundreds of injuries!
Yeah, I know. I was referring to my earlier answer where I pointed out that I gave them a double bird...
This doesn't stop me to tell my mates from the blues that they can hold their head high, even if it is only for the fact that their team had me shitting myself for a while during the decider. Haven't felt like that in a while tbh... :rolleyes:
Recognising the other team's value and effort is good sportmanship. Hating their guts isn't bad sportmanship imo...

Brilliant! Now just have to send it to Freddy and his mob..
Nah, Freddy had a meeting with Bill Harrigan 2 years ago so he's an expert on obstruction and that wasn't a try...

Meh, I don't think there was ever separation between his hand and the ball. Happy enough for it to be given a try, and I certainly don't want to see every video ref referral slowed down to super slow mo - thats just not the way our game should be officiated.
