Jye Gray has been awarded a penalty try, after he dropped the footy over the line but was impeded.

It is a contentious call, because Gray was clearly grabbed without the ball, by opposing fullback Trey Fuller, while chasing a little kick he put in, but he had time to gather himself and attempt to ground the ball.

He dropped it, but a penalty try has been awarded.

The ABC Sport commentary team cannot believe a player who composed himself and then cold dropped the ball was awarded a penalty try.

North Sydney legend Billy Moore says Fuller should have been sent to the sin-bin, rather than a penalty try being awarded.

“He has five more steps to compose himself to ground the ball.”
