So playing on the wing today, our centre grubbed the ball through, I ran on dribbled it in goal and then got a shove in the back from a defender. Managed to get a finger on the ball and ground it, and the ref came over and gave the try, saying "Don't worry, it would have been a penalty try had you not grounded it anyway".
Well damn, I thought, I'd rather have had the penalty try under the posts for the easy 7 pts rather than this one in the corner, giving my kicker a trickier kick (which he missed). So question is, should it have been a penalty try? Technically the offense didn't prevent me scoring.
