No they didn't. Watts didn't play the ball properly in the run up to his try. He put the ball down on the ground and just stepped over it - didn't make no attempt.
As for the grounding, it was contentious. Had he did what he did in the field of play it would have been a knock-on and I'm of the opinion it should be the same over the whitewash too.

Watts didn't play the ball for Murrells try in the first half but don't let the facts spoil your rant.
He placed downward pressure on the ball over the tryline before it hit the ground so it's a try

I wouldn't because it was a try, he lost it but it never hit the floor before he grounded it so it has to be a try

No way could benefit of the doubt be applied to the Roby try. Get over yourself and your 'success', that has nothing to do with a shocking decision.
"Hey lads I think i have a bite!!!!"
I knew that would work. I thought that a Leeds fan would take me up on my offer rather than a pie. I usually don't troll but it was 2am and I could believe what I was reading. 5 pages on an incorrect video ref desision, WTF, It happens every week!!!! The quality of the refereeing isn't great in this country but the video refereeing (an easier job) is even worse. We have had video referees for almost 14 years now and there is still not an outline as to what they have to check.
Video refereeing in its current format doesn't work. It needs to be re-evaluated or scrapped.

It was a shocking decision and the video refs should have to take some responsibilty when they make calls as bad as this. Bill Harrigan was dropped in the NRL for his shocker the other week.
