He jumped up to try and smother because he was late in making the decision. It's like a Joe the goose situation where the last defender has to choose when to come at the player streaming towards him before he attempts to handball over the top or kick it to the guy all alone. The player always ends up leaping to smother because they reacted too late. If Brayshaw was having a shot it's a downfield free is it not? So which bit of what Maynard did was part of the game?. You can't just smother anyway you want. We don't absolve incorrect technique and leaping to smother is incorrect technique because there's a risk you will smash into somebody which doesn't need to happen. Don't give me it's a contact sport either.
What a load of crap, I take it you’ve never played the game! Brayshaw was in the action of kicking Maynard jumped to try and smoother the kick.
