I think they all railroaded Harrigan - he can only police the laws as they're presented to him. I don't think he was alolowed to finish one sentence. Annoyed me quite a bit acutually.
Tell me if I'm wrong but the player does not have to have 'control' do they, or has that been changed.... I thought all that is needed is for 'skin, leather, grass' and there not to be any separation? Tonie Carroll was in the process of knocking it on, but the ball never 'left' his hand....try.
Once we get to freeze framing, 'common sense' can't come into it IMO - it would get all too subjective for my liking... what do we do, freeze frame it, then relase it looks a bit dodgy, then go back and watch the normal speed replay to determin a 'common sense' ruling? really....
The refs have copped sh!te for all these years about making mistakes, so they have put black and white rules in for video replays so the room for error is reduced.... now, ppl aren't happy cos they don't 'feel' like tries? Make your minds up.
