Can't say I noticed anything at the game, but haven't watched it back on Sky yet
If that's the case we'll have lost Gale for almost a 3rd of the season in suspension/ban and it will be another break in terms of halfback pairings when struggling to get or find some consistency. Not ideal if McNamara is still out through injury, but maybe Hookem could be recalled from the loan deal?
I really enjoy long walks especially when they are taken by people I don't like!
Hopefully Mac available. Thought Gale did ok yesterday to. Evans slowly getting better. Nice to have Taylor back if rumors are right. . If our pack stays fit we can match anyone upfront. Wonder if and when Griffin returns now is the time for him to move into the 2nd row?. Not knocking the lad but bit disappointed with Macintosh. Early days but if Swift returns can see Shaul or vuni taking the other wing spot.

Both Swift and Macintosh have taken the ball in goal, ran to the 20, ref stopped them taking the tap because opposition defence not set, also at least 2 occasions at penalties. Same old inconsistency, twice on Friday, Macintosh adjudged to have knocked on when the ball went clearly backwards and yesterday, Gale pinged for not playing the ball correctly, when stood on his feet. Wonder if that’s why Referee Smith gave the on field decision as a try. No one has mentioned Evans head high, I can see him being cited? So Taylor’s back next week, no match fitness and we lose Fash and possibly Evans?
Regarding Darnel dropping the ball Armavinit, we’ve discussed this on the forum before, depending on the referees penchant he can decide if the ball goes. backwards or forwards, and controversial decisions cost teams games, I’ve said before if you drop the ball, whichever way, it’s a knock on, no confusion, no hint of favouritism.

I think both Swift and MacIntosh are wastes of contracts. Both positions can easily be filled with cheaper, more effective opitions. I'd be more than happy with Wynne, Shaul and Mitchi fighting it out for two spots with Litten covering.
The words of fools mean nothing to one who resides in the truth.
