<p>Some questions after watching the video highlights:</p>
<ul><li>was Alex Fidow's try really a try or was it held up? I thought, and still think, there was a Shield Snorters player's hand under the ball ... (33th minute)</li>
<li>did any of you hear anything about Jonah Lowe being injured? (66th minute before the try was scored) Not sure whether he was subbed or not.</li>
<li>btw, you don't need advanced lip reading skills to understand Riccitelli's reaction to that try ... </li>
</ul><p> </p>

<ul><li>was Brad Weber really "milking it" as William Lose said in his commentary. I really think it was a nasty high tackle, but maybe I'm just one-eyed. (74th minute)</li>
<li>not in the highlights, but did you see that awesome one-hand-catch from Hugh Renton!</li>
<li>I only realised it when he came on, but geez, Ben May is a big unit! Also didn't know that Renton is so tall!</li>

<p>I am still fiercely disputing the Garden-Bachop try, it looked a clear forward pass from the winger to Garden-Bachops knee. I suppose questioning whether the Wellington No 18, who was clearly not part of any maul situation, was obstructing the HB player (Mason Emerson No. 11) when the Wellington halfback picked up the ball when laid back by Matenga after his little chip and chase run immediately before the try by the No 7 could also be something worth being disgruntled about.</p>

<p>Would also be interesting if someone could carry out a study as to where the television time clock lost those two minutes that it was showing as still left ot play when the whistle blower blew his whistle for full time.</p> -
