Those frees were garbage. He gave them away...
Let me kill that argument slightly.
Elliott engages his opponent to push off and create separation. They grab each other. Ump sees it pays a free kick. Watch every single duel and tell me that they aren't all identical. I watched Rhys Stanley do similar to Max gawn (and arguably worse) and it was play on.
The subjective nature here is what the problem is. They ping Williams twice and then don't pay another free like it until mason Cox gets a bit of the same.
That equated to about 3 goals. There was also the cripps handball paid holding the ball and then the jack crisp "drop" handball that was paid play on.
These things are a frequent occurrence, and I don't really debate the action I debate the consistency. It's a free in our defensive 50 but you won't find a similar free for essentially the same action in our forward 50. Why?
The blocks that occur that take walsh off daicos and at other times cowan off Elliott.
They're not illegal. Their blokes get on the bike and run around others who are there to hold illegally but no one cares about those holds.
He put his arms around him, once you do that youre gone.
