Another skill error by Frankston. Naish to Silvestro to Thompson on 50. Poor kick into the pocket misses Chol. Throw-in. CCJ possibly pushed in the back but it's a ball-up. CCJ grabs it out of the ruck which is legal now but the ump pings him for HTB.

Fletcher off HB. Should have bee a free for a hold to us but not paid. Frankston get a point.
