Wasn't stiff in my eyes. Bunts a 2 handed spike when he could have easily have paddled it to a team mate. He panicked and should have known he had two players to give it too, but belted it out instead. If he was trying to give it to his team mates why did he smack it so hard.Hartlets deliberate was stiff but they'd been paying stiff ones all night. Had to be paid. At least it was consistent.
What about Prestia's kick off the ground from the middle of a pack that rolled out about 40m away. No control at all. Was another as well. If the ump didn't pay the Hartlett one he would have been smashed as being gutless or inconsistent. So many times last night we had the ball up against the boundary and kept it in with quick hands. Hartlett's was poor.
