Quote: cheekydiddles "I thought Falloon showed what he can/could bring to the team given an injury free run in the team.
He's not had a massive amount of game time and I think he's another that has been brought back previously when not fully recovered from his back injury, probably in part due to him wanting to impress, new overseas recruit and all that and that fact he's only here on a 1 year deal and McD was probably keen to bring him back too early to get a 'proper hooker' in the team and he's broken down before.
I think he could, given the chance turn a lot of fan's opinions round on him, a bit like Galloway has.
Like I said on the Farrah thread, I actually think if he continued like the hooker we saw last night, I don't think we'd need to bring in a new NRL hooker and instead could use the cash to try and get the halfback we desperately need.
I also think another of the 'favourite scapegoats' in Achurch was pretty good last night and got involved more and I remain convinced there is a good player in there somewhere if he can remain injury free.
He was certainly far from our worse prop/forward last night, that 'honour' would go to Cuthbertson who whilst clearly not looking fit, was gash and IMO his 'fall from grace' this year is as spectacular as Watkins.
I actually think Cuthbertson began to drop off towards the end of last year and couldn't put it down to whether it was the fact the teams learnt how to nullify his offloading game better or whether it was his wrist/hand injury that he seemed to keep playing with, or a combination of both?
Had this been his first year here, I can only imagine the amount of stick he'd be getting on here and at the ground, given the comments this year about other new recruits in Galloway and Falloon'"
Thanks for above. Missed game last night went to see Neil Young. Great gig. Came out and saw we had nilled them and was chuffed. My hopes of a great performance soon dismissed on here. Great to get a win, will do them a lot of good
