New lease of life here IMO. Thought he would play centre to be honest but been brilliant in the back row. Hope he evades suspension for Monday because McCarthy struggling by all accounts

No idea, at the time I always thought it was weird, he's the only player in either code that I can ever recall doing that (bloody effective it was too!), so I can't see the rules having been changed.

No one will be banned for Monday. The disciplinary don't meet on a weekend.

Adds another dimension to our options/play in the similar mold that Ben Galea did.
Very reliable left peg too.

It was effective i never understood why nobody else did it

He has always been a bit under rated because he doesn't look like much of an athlete.
He's a better centre than second rower - not that I've seen him play much second row.
