I don't think Durbin played second half either?

I don't think it's coincidence that Durbin plays at 6 first half and we play more expansive fast rugby, he goes off and were clueless, slow and back to one man rugby!

Agreed BUT i reckon it was more to do with defending them coming down the slope, i wonder if thats the same reason Stanton didn't play?

It's called playing the best team for the conditionsn and coming up the hill was always going to be a defensive effort, hence (IMO) the changes, and it did the job, nice bit of coaching there Rolls.

What would have happened if we had lost the toss and played uphill in the first half? Would Durbin have been subbed in the first minute and saved for the second half?

Or there try not been disallowed and we had lost the game

A wins a win, but when we are thinking negatively about the bottom club who are shipping points for fun shows how we have fallen.
Hope we can get things sorted with the week off, and hope we can get the Aussie 6 over to play the week after.
Still like to see

Alstead was our best centre so far this season IMO on Monday and we got to start with Mcgraff "Blood Bath" leuluia (he hits hard)

not sure about cookson watched him last fri for the reserves and he doesnt look fit he could hardly walk at times never mind run the injury does not look like it as cleared up why they are playing him he needs rest
