The free kick McEvoy got for high contact before his goal was a shocker. Don't think he was touched above the shoulders. Complete guess.

The high contact rule needs a review and particularly the question asked why is it there in the first place - so blokes don't get their heads ripped off. If the head is so sacrosanct then the rule or interpretation has to be changed because at present it is encouraging players to draw contact to the head.

Hille's free on Friday night must be up there with the worst of the year...

The only saving grace of the Kosi one was the fact that McEvoy's evened the ledger in the end.

What was more intriguing was the fact that the commentators were saying 'in the contest, fair enough.' Remarkable!
:D :D


"The inches we need are everywhere around us. They're in every break in the game. Every minute, every second. On this team we fight for that inch. On this team we tear ourselves and everyone around us to pieces for that inch. We claw with our fingernails for that inch. Because we know when we add up all those inches that's gonna make the f***in' difference between winning and losing! Between living and dying!'

That was Dwayne, he managed to convince Danny that it was in the contest....actually his obsession with Kosi through the call was quite fascinating.
