Force v Tahs wooden spoon battle?

Still can’t cop these ‘so called‘ tries with zero control of the ball. No try in my book every day of the week. Law needs to be changed to having control and downward pressure.

Because that would be easier to adjudicate on super-slow mo? I doubt it.

So you're saying it was a try you just wish the laws of the game were different such that it wasn't a try?

Maybe we could introduce Gus Goulds rules on a try, it doesnt need to be grounded, so long as the arm touches the ground and its yours (haha) its a try!!!

Here is clip from Wayne Barnes about six years back demonstrating what consitututes grounding:

Intepretatation may have changed slightly since then, but something like this clip adds good value to our understanding of different peoples intepretations and we could do with more of this.
