Refs were unprofessional

Whether or not the ball was hit out of the Lions hands has nothing to do with it, so it was unprofessional for the ref to even mention it! What you CAN say though, is that the ball may not have actually gone forward from hand to ground... the ball effectively bounced BEHIND the player, and subsequently came off the boot t be pushed over the tryline...it certainly didn't "spill into the in-goal area".
