Wasn’t so long ago that the agreed interpretation was that the player needed to grasp of the ball as it was planted, and if the ball left the palm on the way down, needed to be re-grasped else deemed lost. Ever since Souths riotous tries awarded in last year’s prelim, the interpretation has gone back years to when you could follow the ball as it was falling with a pinkie. When it comes to having control, ask yourself this. If the player is following a ball down pinkie style, could he by choice, grasp the ball before it touches the ground. If your answer is no, then the player clearly has no control over where the ball is going. He has lost control. Knock on.
Cowboys players and fans are use to NRL interpretations. Feldt gets a whacked in the chops with a swinging arm and nothing to see? Teddy and Tolman dive into a defender and the Burr and Robson get sent. It’s just how it is.

That’s more of a knock on than Kyle Feldt’s disallowed try, put it that way.
