At normal speed and without the vid ref Thaler saw the same as everyone else and rightly gave a try. Had Thaler been unsighted and sent it up I guess it would have very dependant on his call. Mountain and molehills spring to mind here for the usual suspects.

Maybe I’m over simplifying it but the ball didn’t bounce or bobble and there was clear downward force with his right arm. It looked untidy and maybe an element of luck it transferred well to his right arm but was certainly a try.

Honestly don’t see how anyone has a case to argue.

Fair enough if you see it differently but Having watched it again on YT the ball touches the ground after leaving Kelepi’s right arm, so if it did go to VR I could see it being ruled out. It was as you say untidy.

Oh yes I remember that. I thought the same.
Can't remember who but one of the others disagreed with him.

Yes - think it was Barry Mc that questioned his view several times......

Strongly disagree with you.
It was given as a try - as an "on the field view" had it been sent upstairs it would have still gone up as a try and they wouldnt have enough to overturn it due to that.

Anyway, who gives a sh*t. It was given as a try!!!

Justin Ryder scored the best 'non' try I've seen given on the big screen!

They are - but alegend gave you a perfect example of this not being the case v bradford when the player put the ball down five yards short!
the "rules" would state that would be a knock-on....

Think it was Neil Summers for Bradford. John Holdsworth the ref?

No, I think it was Robin Whitfield or something like that. Also thought it was that beardy winger they have, looked like Jesus a bit but it could have been summers, it's a hell of a long time ago.

Cheers - knew it was either dumb or dumber......
