Sucks to be losing Taumalolo for awhile. Given they're also playing without Granville they're doing well to be winning.
Once again, Taylor you are kidding yourself mate if you think the Cows a prem contenders. They can't tackle for shit.
Thompson gets the ball on the last after a rushed pass from a pressured Thurston and decides the best thing to do is to give it to an isolated Matt Scott. Such a numbskull play.
Roberts will be lucky to keep his spot next round I'd reckon. Gidley's done too, stick a fork in 'im.
So assuming worst case scenario and Mullen is out for a while as well, who plays in the Halves in 2 weeks time?
Morgan showed his immaturity as a half a bit today. Forcing two offloads that were never on when the game was in the balance. He did some good things but still has a lot to work on.
