Yep you are right and it is an easy out for the ref which sucks. That whole period was like origin, totally ruined what was shaping up to be a good finish. But even the knock on call would be ok if every time a hall was dropped it was consistently called. Maybe that’s what needs to happen, you drop a ball forward or backward, it’s a knock on. Simplify the rule, I don’t know. But the current system is fundamentally broken.
Even so, I can still live with that but the Lee one is inexcusable, there is no way whatsoever that upon review, that can be called a try, the technology did what it was supposed to do and showed it was about as clear a No try as you can get. This is one of those rare times where the ref actually got it right and then the idiot in the box goes against what the technology shows anyone who isn’t blind. What is the point of the technology if you are still just going to ignore it?
Did Holbrook say anything about it?

For mine in that game it was the Toby Sexton "knock on", how is it a knock on? maybe he knocks it on with one hand but then he knocks it back with the other and it never makes contact with a Newcastle player, the ref now has an easy out and isn't made to feel responsible for such a ****ty call because of the challenge system, the ref can simply say "well if you didn't waste your challenge"..
I think that might have been the call that led up to Newcastle getting field position for the try you're speaking about, actually
