Menzie's was belly button control, clearly.

WE ARE TOP OF THE LEAGUE!!

Menzie didn't play at the ball with his hand or arm. Potts kicked it backwards, it touched Menzie's arm and came backwards off him. Menzie grounded it with his upper body, which is fine.

Bit of an unusual situation with the ball being kicked backwards - does that count as a charge-down by Menzie ?

mmmmmm not sure that is true looked to me like Menzie did knock the ball forwards in the process of trying to ground the ball, prior to him grounding it with his belly button (which is quite legal). Having said that I thought there were some decisions that went against both teams, though I suspect that Batley might feel that more went against them...



However Sheffield where more than good value for their win overall, defended like deamons at times. I look forward to our game against you later in the year whether it's at BL or DVS.

Also a lovely gesture by QLT to give the man of the match price money to the Tangi fund.

Personally, I thought he was trying to keep his hands out of the way - but that's just an opinion.

What is fact is that "control" wasn't an issue. You can't knock on with your stomach.

Agreed you can't knock on with your stomach, but you can with your arms regardless of whether your trying to keep them out the way or not. It don't matter now, just read it in the papers.

I thought Joe had a cracking game, Vinny played his best game to date and Michael Knowles is awesome. But they all did their bit to secure that win, great team performance, defense was phenomenal.

Let's be honest though Griff, he could've thrown it over the line American football style and you'd have still given a try.

Looked to me like he knocked on.

I need to look at this again ......

Right, so I'm looking at it now. Where does it go forward off his arm ?

Nobody ?



Thought not ........
