Yep, no argument at all that he grounded the ball.  It's just a crying
shame that it wasn't 6" further down the field.  ;-)

Given that the distance involved was microscopic, I think you could be
magnanimous here and give Harragon the benefit of the doubt.  My complaint
is with the referee, who quite obviously did NOT see the ball grounded,
otherwise he would have disallowed that try.  And he was selected by Qld
too!

 BG> Wally is a wanker, and always has been. ;-)

 BL> Couldn't disagree with that, but he used to be great, too.

You're right.  He was a GREAT wanker.
