Looks offside.
Should never have got to the kick, pass was a metre forward.

Honestly I think he's well onside.
Great image. Based on that he looks onside to me.
What is the exact rule. Does he have to be behind the guy kicking and is that being judged by where the kickers foot is on the ground???. Im not sure of the rule, but if that is the rule he is offside.

Can you find a photo showing Joey Leilua didn’t have his arm into touch in the lead up to a Nick Cotric try?

Offside is ruled in relation to the ball. Forget the player with the ball in hand, it is the loaction of the back most part of a player in relation to the ball.
So in this case, if the ball is on the 10 meter line, assuming a player is running, the very back part (the foot) of the chasing player need to be behind the ball, aka the 10 meter line.

I may be wrong but I think the rule is both feet behind the ball, based on that he’s onside.
My first thought was that the pass was forward but looking at it a few times I’ll live with it.
What I do find a tad disturbing is that the touchie is nowhere close enough to adjudicate on either regardless.

Mystery hand under Kelly's head.....
And Kelly was even considerate enough to show he wasn't holding Lielua down in touch.

This so-called bunker really stuffed tonight, Horsehead who used to punish us for fun when he officiated our games, misses something so bloody obvious and the bomb that Cotric clearly knocked is given as a line drop out. Sick of the bent rulings that we cop!! Sick that every game is now decided by these idiots and you are not allowed to complain and you can only talk up the game. Tonight our team lost that game through these crap ruling and our own shortcomings in relation to closing a game.
