Danny Brough's drop goal sank Hull KR, but did it go over?

Danny Brough's winning drop goal that sent Hull KR into the Million Pound Game was disputed by Jamie Peacock and coach James Webster.
You be the judge. The video above shows a freeze of the frame when the ball goes over the upright. The next two angles are from behind Brough; from the right side the ball looks in, and from the left it looks outside the line.
What a difficult decision for the referee but how unfortunate for Hull KR that their own short posts proved to be the catalyst for pitching them into the relegation dogfight this Saturday. Webster told Sky Sports he has said all year the posts were too short. Will those words now be ringing in their ears?
There is no way of proving conclusively but the referee was in a good position and the ball travels straight from Brough's boot all the way without deviation. Either way, it proved to be a dramatic end to an absorbing encounter.
