Anyone who has laced a boot knows that's a try to Koula and even with the Jake not running through the line, the defender actually moved up and into Jake and basically "bear hugs" Jake....which in many ways is on the defender.
I do know also jake has a right to run through the line as an option runner, but this was a very touch and go call and in most cases would have been awarded.
The real problem about this black/white stuff....ok there was a Roosters try where the Cheese brandon Smith recieves a pass , runs across field behind his player (which is auto obstruction and you must submit) , but threw a "flat" pass to Tedesco who scores under the post.
Did Smith obstruct anyone (hell no) and would I say try - (100%), but if we are doing this black/white ruling it's 100% no try.
My point is this game will keep dishing up dog**** decisions, when we have the refs using both common sense and black/white rulings......I mean the rules should be enforced until such time, the officials can use the good of common sense when replaying the action and have the ability to make the ''right call"....not based on a stupid text book by some nerd who has never played the game.
