That sin bin was a massive momentum changer. We were cruising and in typical broncos fashion lost the plot and only just held on for the win
Yeah the Benji “kick” was a clear error and should’ve been ruled as such. At the time Benji was in such freakish form that I remember feeling “just reward it!” and that felt like the general vibe of the commentators. The refs obviously felt the same lol19:05 @Super Freak
Hodges makes a big break down the right hand-side, tries to link up with Gillett who spills it 20m out and kicks it away in frustration.
Funny how you remember things. The way that I pictured it, it happened right on the half-time siren with the defence slackening off, Gillett spilling it cold 30-40m out before kicking it over.
That was instantly what I thought of with the Slater kick. Except with the Marshall one, he may have grazed it with his heel but for all intents and purposes it's a knock on.
Even the Marshall example didn't shock me and I remember Kurt Gidley setting up a similar try to Billy down the northern end, probably some time in 2006-07.
Then this year you had Parramatta challenge that Moses had in fact knocked on, instead of kicking the ball against the Bulldogs to get a better result.
