no slinging of jumpers. It’s dangerous,
ok?”

I thought it was pretty fair, I don’t think

it was high. What was your reasoning?”
“Oh no it was high. Anywhere above the armpits

0:02:56.530,0:03:01.810
in the safe play code is illegal, um so that’s
why the penalty was there and I spoke to him

0:03:01.810,0:03:04.739
too, and he gave me a little bit of backchat,
but we’ve sorted it out”
