More concerned with how feeble Sam still is in defence. Drops high/low kicks and never makes a one on one tackle. If Matty Russell played like that he'd be dropped for 6 months

Hansen was an absolute monster tonight, my MOM. Dudson & Fielden did alright on their returns. The backs in general were a bit meh though.

Hansen and Lockers were outstanding tonight imo.

McIllorum was just bloody stupid. 2 games min for him and deservedly so.

Can't really comment properly on the game as it was ruined from the 16th minute.

It appeared as if we were "ok" but nothing more.

Anyway, tbh it was the best result for us.

Real question is can we kick on.

Performance was more important than the result for us, especially when we went down to 12.

The other teams have much to worry about after that, there was a point when we could have even won that game!

Very much so. And if Hock hadn't been pulled back for that forward pass that never was, might have been a different outcome.

yea and then the clock ticked to 17 minutes and all was lost

Whoever didn't give H the sponsor's man of the match must have watched a different game to me. A towering performance.

O'Loughlin and Pat were fantastic too, Tommy coming just behind that group for me.

McIlorum's dismissal has been brewing for quite a while now.....he went for a couple of big hits before he was sent off that were mistimed, and fortunate not to connect.

I did think that, although foolish, the red card was harsh....a word in Child's ear from off the field I wonder?

How can you say this? You obviously were at a numerical disadvantage, but you were pretty average (we were average too, but less average than yourselves....)
