The Hair Ball

I guess I should comment on what has been happening in the media recently in regards to Darrell Hair.

He is a match official who has for a long time tried to be fair, and has called things when others have been afraid to.

Without much further evidence there is no real suggestion that he was being biased. It seems more so that he was just getting sick of the gamesmanship that has accompanied certain actions.

Many prominent former players might disagree with me, but it appears to be simply a case of a man being attacked for doing his job.

At this point, I am quite happy to call him not guilty.
