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.

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 ?

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.
