Message: [QUOTE="Culhwch, post: 2668961, member: 1983"] I generally have nothing against Maranta and I'll give him an A for effort there, but I honestly don't understand how people think he stopped it. At best he was lucky that the attempt didn't backfire terribly in either of the ways I mentioned. In the moment it's true he's desperate and doing all he can to help his team win, which is great - but he just didn't save the game single-handedly as some people seem to think he did. And the pass at the death is inexcusable. There's no defense for that. In that last couple of minutes of play he was let off the hook twice, in my mind. Yeah, that almost killed me. I can see what he was thinking, but if Hunt takes the tackle and they get a quick play the ball they might have got the defense on the back foot and threatened the golden try in regulation. I'm happy for Ben that he got the chance to redeem himself. It rarely happens that way. I thought this exact thing at the time. Gould is an idiot, and so is Rabs. What a stupid argument that was. 'Well, if he's not hurt how can it be a penalty?' Yeah, great logic, numbskulls. [/QUOTE]
