He may well have done, but I stick by the fact that he's not a loose forward, he plays like a prop, just drives the ball in, well here's a good idea, play him at prop and let a skilful player (Burgess, Donno, Menzies, Morro etc.) play at LF.

I've been saying for about 3 years that Langley would make a better prop. I still think he would, but I don't expect the clueless coaching staff to notice.

Yes, I totally agree. A loose forward should be creative, which he just is not. He seems to enjoy the physical side, so I reckon the only way he can justify his place in any future Bulls team is at prop.

We need some skill and creativity at LF, which is something Langley doesn't offer. Use him as a prop but then Kopzcak will have to be dropped as both Scrutes and Lynch were quality today.

He played LF, second row and prop today - preferred him in the latter 2

I would agree with that. I do think Langers had a better game today but I'd prefer him as a workhorse 2nd rower.

A comment that doesn't seem to have been posted is how well Scrutton played today; compared to his form at the start of the season, he continues to improve and was in my opinion, our most effective foward today!

I agree with that, Scruton gets better every game, he plays with aggression and actually makes an impact.

Fair call tbf - although he blotted his copybook with those two errors towards the end.

Only ones who came out with any credit today were Langley, Halley, Semi and Scruton imo.

I thought Nero was impressive too. Tackled strongly and made good yards.

The Team for next week should not include Deacon, Sheriffe and Worincey. Deacon could be relied on to kick goals at one time, can't even do that now. How is Worincey keeping Cook out of the Team? McNamarra just cannot see the flaws in the players he has signed. Play a team full of young kids, what's the worse that could happen? We lose again!
