During an action-packed encounter between Leeds Rhinos and Catalans Dragons, there was one particular moment of controversy. Mitchell Pearce's first-half try for the Dragons certainly stood out as a contentious call, with the veteran halfback being awarded a try despite calls for a double movement.
Pearce had gone close to the line but having appeared to be stopped, ended up planting the ball on the try line. The Rhinos were adamant he had grounded the ball illegally via a double movement, with the Catalans man believing it was all part of one singular motion.
Ultimately, the referee agreed with the French outfit despite on-field official Liam Moore sending it up to the screen as a disallowed try. It resulted in a chorus of boos at Headingley after the try was awarded.
