If the ball's knocked out because you've got a loose carry, it's as good as a drop in my book, especially behind your own line. It wasn't pulled out of his grasp, and I agree with Millward, it's up to the ball carrier to hold on to the ball and he didn't.

Totally agree. I don't want it to look like I'm ripping into the kid because I'm not, I think he could be good for us. I just don't see what happened on Sunday as anything other than a mistake, and I don't see how anyone else can view it otherwise, nor do I see the point in making excuses. He had the ball, he let it come loose, they scored a try, it was an error. All players make errors, it's no big deal, just move on and try not to let it happen again.
