Quote: Jaywire "That contested high ball was still rubbish, though. The saints player (Meli?) had his fingers on the ball when he hit the ground, but Joel had it securely in both hands by that point, which doesn't sound very defused to me.'"
There is a picture on garyskent thread which shows Meli has hold of the ball and Joel has his hands outside of these. So MAYBE the officials got that bit right BUT was watching the SL show highlights last night and I am not sure whether Meli's left foot was actually touching the try line. If it was I dont know whether this counts as "in goal" as it was for Brett try or whether it counts as "outside of the ingoal area" as it would be on the three other lines.
Anyways it didnt cost us the game so lets move on and get ready for Saturday. Afterall....the games only have 4 days inbetween Eddie.
