Vossy and Flanno and all of us were confused as well mate, you aren't the only one.

FTFY

Yeah - that's how I interpreted that one. Can't penalise for double movement because he didn't ground the ball.

The most technically correct ruling would have been a "cribbing" penalty.

Bunker official said the wrong thing. Planting your free hand is what players are supposed to do.

Comes down to your interpretation of what constitutes a player having gotten to his feet. Is having one foot flat and the other on his toes "on his feet" or not?

As someone who has spent dozens of hours teaching kids how to correctly play the ball, this one is pretty bloody good. Ramien just makes it look a bit awkward.

If we do it. I bet it’s a penalty against us

that play the ball looked decent
seen much worse

shame frawley kicked the ball out probably would have been clean

100% it would have been clean. The bunker only ruled it as a plant because we challenged the lost ball decision.

Didn't realise Don Burke was in the bunker.

50/50 with that call. Not surprised we lost it given the planted ball rule these days, but its not like he was still on all fours. Tad unfortunate. I assumed we would lose it for that strip on Ramien. Didnt think there was much in that
