Come on guys, be realistic. Hayne and Goodwin were not in competition for the ball. Hayne was never, ever going to get there. Look at the photo on the daily telegraph front page. Goodwin already had the ball down and Hayne is yet to go to ground. The same way when Thurston kicked out at Williams the problem wasn't that he used his feet, it was that he was late and the ball had already been planted by the time he tried to kick it out. Not to mention that he connected with Williams face.
All this stuff about biomechanics is rubbish. The fact is he tried to take Goodwin over the sideline with his knees and he did so after the ball had been planted. You can't be allowed to get away with that.
I'm not saying he should cop a week, but he's got to be charged with something.
If he was walking over to him i would totally agree but Hayne was running and he isnt a small bloke that can just stop himself like that...
