Video saves Hindmarsh's Origin
May 07, 2007
INCONCLUSIVE television footage has saved Parramatta forward Nathan Hindmarsh from being suspended for New South Wales's opening State of Origin game.
Match review committee chairman Greg McCullum revealed Hindmarsh was lucky to escape censure for striking Sydney Roosters player Anthony Minichiello on Saturday.
The committee called upon extra camera angles for Hindmarsh's apparent strike of Minichiello which could have resulted in a two to three game ban but all views were obscured at point of contact.
"He came over the top and appeared to strike Minichiello with a forearm but the video is inconclusive as to the point of contact," said McCullum.
"The incident looked pretty ordinary. We got all the additional angles and there was an obstructed view of the point of contact."

Oh how convenient :roll:
One rule for some, one rule for others it seems. This overrated hack should be sitting down for three weeks plus. Terrible hit.
