Would have to be the best tackle that Fras has laid in his time at the club. Being the only tackle he has laid also helps
It looked like he was trying to help Thornton get into the BMW X5 parked on level D in the carpark. Someone should tell Fras that you don't enter through the sunroof !!
I loved it, would've loved him to tackle whoever it was running away from our half back line in the third quarter when he tried to take on GTrain but Oh well can't have em all... sensationsal tackle!
Frase got the benefit with that tackle, and was a little lucky because the tackle appeared to pin the ball. Plenty get balled up in similar circumstances.
The motivator for the umps was that a "ball" call by the crowd for a Gilbert tackle immediately beforehand (which should have been paid - it was dead set tackled and dropped it) was ringing in their ears, and the crescendo became even louder when Frase pinged the guy who gathered the dropped ball Gilbert's tackle initiated.
The umps obviously thought "geez, we missed one so we had better pay this one!" And they did.
Generally they plucked free kicks from anywhere and everywhere - a whopping 60 of them!
With no consistency.
They also appear to umpire to name players.
Not that Fraser or Roo would agree. With some justification!
