Agreed. I thought he pushed Scruton and Tim for the man of the match performance yesterday. He was everywhere.

Laughable comment - I assume by a Bulls fan - that Thaler was a biased hometown ref. I'd struggle to point to much he got wrong, and secondly I'm pretty sure he's a Cas fan. Additionally, I'd have thought most observers would have acknowledged that the gulf between the two teams on the day was really what swung it.

Well - when we played HKR in the cup - the score was 50-30. So our defensive/your attacking effort is similar. Gaskell going off may have just been the difference between 3 tries and 5 tries for us. The result would still have been the same.



Best I've seen Scruton play. Your middle was great.



Any news on Owen? or Moore? - I assume he was replaced in the squad due to injury?

I think Moore was straight up dropped and replaced by Sio which turned out to be a master stroke because Sio was immense for us.



Tom Johnstone will probably replace Richard Owen but don't rule out a Craig Hall appearance instead.

Apparently Moore got an arm injury in training,

You would never want any player to be injured, but Scott Moore not been available played right into our hands, it forced Coach Smith to go with Sio and Godinet which is an obvious correct selection, I am fairly confident Moore was going to play, maybe Godinet was not 100 % and was not going to be risked. Sometimes its best when a coach does not have a choice, always remember Kear trying to get Drew, Brough, Obst, Rooney, Grix and maybe even Latu into the same 17.

Moore had to be injured. You can't change the 19 just because you change your mind. Has to be an injury......whether he was injured or not!



Godinet was a good addition but he didn't look 100% so I could believe we were originally waiting another week for him to be available to play.

Scott Moore has a torn bicep, freak accident in training. Godinet would not have played otherwise.

Godinet looked like he'd never been away.

Very sharp from the moment he went on and he'll cause any team problems.

There is an air of anticipation whenever he gets the ball.

Hope he has no reaction to being thrown in earlier than planned. Excellent interchange with Sio.
