From where I was he touched the ball down while he was in the air. There is a photo currently on the Leigh Journal website which would appear to somewhat corroborate my view, naturally I was following the ball so missed the late hit, I would say it was a flat pass
I'd concur with a previous post, Nene does seem to get white line fever, he's far better coming back on the inside too, which given the kicking performance might have helped was a more flattering scoreline.
