As for the other 3.. Don't even get me started on them.
The Fox Sports commentators all said no try, most of them former players, what would they know?

TBH neither side of those commentators fill me with great confidence in situations like this.

Another thing that pissed me off was when Lodge got the ball and crowd booing. Bloody hypocrites when they have Packer - he even looks more a thug than Lodge.

It would be downward pressure if he got his hand on the top of the all but he didn't. No try all day.

But his not playing for the Broncos, so that makes it ok.

Really missed a halfback in this game. Such disappointing attack.

Massive credit to the Tiger's defence. It's not like Milford or Nikorima had much to work with. The Tigers just never gave up and were able to scramble in order to cover up any half-gaps. Even on our breaks, the had 3 or 4 defenders around the runner, stifling any chance to get a ball away.

He touched the ball when it was on the ground. It really was very clear.

It was a similar tactic we used against the Cowboys last week.

The emotion cannot lat past round 5 without something of substance to back it up.

The way I like to approach contentious decisions is to put the shoe on the other foot.
Would you have been ok if that was a tigers player, clearly knocking the ball on, be awarded the try?

If people are arguing whether there was ‘downward pressure’, then there was some force to propel the ball forward.
HOWEVER in saying that, that was no way what I would call a try but I find it ridiculous that you can ground the ball with your torso and still be called a try without any ‘downward pressure’ from the hands.
