Moa's try was off a sloppy play-the-ball,
but the referee didn't see it!
How about that?
Noticed a lot of rolling the ball through the legs by the Roosters - last time I checked rules were MUST play the ball back with the foot, not the piss poor attempts what we were seeing last night.
Actual wording of every rule of the game (NRL, ESL and International).
To play the ball correctly :
1. have stopped forward progression (ie been tackled)
2. have both feet on the ground
3. place the ball in fron of one foot and
4. roll the ball backwards by the use of a foot
A lot of people will say so, but technically it's either a lost ball (in which case resulting in a Wigan scrum and feed) or a penalty (due to Easts playing the ball incorrectly).
