In rugby league the ball has to touch the ground to try but if you drop the ball it is a knock on.

Any part of the ball must touch any part of the tryline to be a try. (Obviously if you scored over the tryline we wouldn't be asking this question). If only your arm touches the tryline, then the ball is grounded short of the line, and it is a standard tackle.

It would be no try as the ball must touch the ground with downward pressure.

Yeah yeah the ball must touch the ground but you must have your HANDS on the ball when it makes contact with the ground not just any part of your body! One Hand or two as long as you got pressure!
