Of course, the umps may well have paid advantage, at which point we get rewarded with Durdin's point.
But in a nutshell - 4 points in the bank, move on..... no dissent from me!
That's exactly as I saw it. Harry fumbled the ball before he was tackled and should have got a free for holding the man. The umpire's view was obscured by Harry and the tackler and a free either way would have been a guess. The umpire had a better view than Coniglio.
