NSW debutant Jack Bostock has made a painful start to his state career, dropping the ball cold in a moment that would have handed his side a certain try.
The fumble came at a critical juncture, with Bostock failing to hold on to what appeared to be an unopposed scoring opportunity — a costly error on what should have been a milestone occasion for the debutant.
The dropped ball drew immediate attention, with the chance representing one of the more straightforward try-scoring opportunities a player could be presented with at this level. For Bostock, it was a moment he will be eager to put behind him quickly as he looks to settle into his debut appearance for New South Wales.
