I was thinking of sending a message to Phillyroo asking why he hadn't jumped to Jamie's defence already! My view is that he was very unlucky. I can understand why the umpires didn't pay the high contact because it takes a slo-mo to spot it. However, it may not have been as slight a contact as most people think. Cyril is an excellent tackler because he hits very hard. His swinging arm was moving very forcefully and caught Jamie in a glancing way. The way he threw his head back looks bad in one way but it's a very natural response to that sort of glancing blow. I say all this in hindsight. I was absolutely livid with him when I saw it live. Just one of those things, I suppose.
