Airborn Shooter

[Jurassic Referee]

My contention is that when the first time the ball left the shooters hands, it was not a try if the contact by the defender caused the ball to become dislodged, therefore, the try has never started and never ended, so the shooter should have the right to regain control of the ball and then make their try for goal.

Um, if it wasn't a try as you say above, then the ball is dead immediately when the foul occurred at the time of the ball being dislodged. That's rule 6-7-7. It doesn't matter what happens after that then. You can't have another, second try with a dead ball.
