if it went upstairs it was a penalty for double movement IMO however at the time had my gf not been with me at the game I was about to jump the fence!

For sure, Referees are sponsored by OPSM , and yet they still cant see properly, Maybe they should invest in some glasses!

I've watched this plenty and I don't think it's a double movement as his arm never advances the ball. He drives it over the line using his legs which, as I see it, is the same as sliding over the line in the wet, it is legal. Anyway, doesn't really matter now I guess!

With more angles it's definitely a try.

The most annoying thing is simply the fact that the moron didn't even take the time to send it upstairs, when just about every other try in the game had gone to the video ref!:No:

Agreed, especially given the fact that Gallen repeatedly claimed the ball was on the line.
I'm a bit iffy about whether it was a try or not, but for the ref not to go upstairs was totally inconsistent with not only this game, but every other game throughout the season.
As snowman pointed out, that play (or decision by the ref) changed the whole context of the game.

With the way they award tries these days once it's up to the Video Ref, that would of easily been a try. As others have mentioned, even if they did award it No Try after the video ref had looked at it, I would of been slightly less pissed. But since we didn't even get a look in, thats what really had me pissed off!

No try. Could have been a penalty.
