The only issue was, did Cross hit Ben before he touched the ball? Seeing the replays, it's certainly not clear cut - and certainly close enough to receive the benefit of any doubt.
I know Ben's not a natural taking the high ball, but if he had caught/attempted the ball in a Briscoe style of take it in mid air and use your body as a shield, then Cross couldn't have even attempted a hit/tackle like he did.
Completely agree, probably a foul I think, the tackle was maybe just a fraction too early, that's all - nothing malicious IMO.

Galea was very good as well and Vella showed his leadership as well.
No-one had a poor game and it was nice to see Colbon get a bit of confidence back, despite his sill kick over attempt far too aearly.
I thought both Green and Galea were excellent. One if not both played a major part in all of the tries except for Vellas... I think. Cockayne was very good, always gives 100% and a very dangerous attacking player, if only he was as good under the high ball and we'd have one of the best fullbacks in the league.
We still Dobson back ASAP though, we were seriously lacking a scrum-half yesterday. Is there no-one in the reserves he might do a job? Murrell isn't the answer.

your mind games dont get any better do they Mrs B??? your no Fergie or Arsene thats for sure.
Where did the team come from and I hope Morgan plays them all on Friday they showed passion and commitment from the the off even with two try's against them. A mention to cook who shows he can take the place of fox for a while and show what he can do going forward.
