Why the bunker only reviewed one angle for Holmes try

Been wondering why the NRL's multi-million dollar bunker only reviewed one angle of Valentine Holmes' crucial Origin try?

Well, wonder no more.

Veteran reporter Buzz Rothfield has explained to NRL 360 the sequence of errors that led to the incident.

"Channel 9 had 34 cameras there, there was supposed to be three to give the bunker three angles on that (try)," Rothfield explained.

"They got him from the end of the ground where Holmes was going, looked on the line to me.

"The backpack guy with the camera (who was situated behind Holmes) he only got him from the thigh up so they didn't get it.

"And the guy from the other corner, he was doing crowd shots.

"So when the bunker wanted something else it wasn't there... it's cost 12 million dollars that bunker too."

The lack of angles reviewed was a bad look for the Bunker, but now it seems like they were left with no choice but to base their decision off just the one angle.

"The review official assessed all available angles," referees boss Tony Archer explained.

"In relation to this particular decision, the most relevant angle is camera eight as camera nine does not show the foot at the critical point and camera 12 does not assist in the decision making process.

''As a result, the review officials assessed camera eight and relied upon that to determine whether or not there was sufficient evidence to overturn.

"After reviewing camera eight it is clear there is insufficient evidence to overturn and as a result the live decision of try was confirmed."

Holmes' effort was stunningly similar to Jarryd Hayne's controversial disallowed try in 2009:

Holmes himself has confessed he thought he put his foot into touch when he first saw the replay.
