Does it get counted as a hit up .
When you charge down the bomb and pick up the crumbs for that try assist you mentioned ?
5 runs for 47m seems more like it .
The penalty was for over exuberence from the kick off to try and get the ball back .
Yes not ideal , but better than laziness like some forwards have produced in the past
Gotta give credit where credit due Chadley
You don't charge down your own teams bomb, yes, he did get to a contestable bomb though, and did good off it (what a great kick).
Regardless of what you think 'sounds more like it' the stats are the stats, I will accept they don't paint a full picture, not sure you can just decided which of them to count. To clarify him grabbing that ball was not a reception or a hitup.
If you take off his 14m kick return he had 5 hit ups for 33 meters.
And also so the penalty was okay because we needed to get the ball back (ref had literally just warned us to stay on side). Does Billy or Woods get a reprieve for dumb penalties if they are 'trying to get the ball back'?
Credit where credit is due, sure, not credit for the sake of you liking him better. Lets not pretend that was a shadow of 2016 Fifita
