I'd have gone for the lineout and drive
Why? They get a bonus point, all they can get.
Points difference and I didn't trust Gilbert not to fuck up.
That two points is going to be really costly at the end of the season.

@SouthernMann Hard to disagree, potential though.. he looked a bit deer in headlights at time...
Yeah he actually went better than I expected, some nice touches on attack - just a bit pedestrian
Gilbert at 12 doesn't help any of our 10s....
Apart from the best one you mean?
Goal kicking aside I am just not a big fan of Gilbert

@antipodean sometimes easier said than done when someone has extreme pace, margins get smaller.
Decent game, looked close to breaking into a brilliant game, but didn't.

The Clan never fail to frustrate. Only the Clan can gift the Brumbies a 5-metre lineout with a few minutes to go. You couldn't make that shit up. WTF!

Bullshit. I reckon the canes definitely could too.
I guess this year's crusaders would've been too far behind already....

@Bones don't bring this year's Canes into this. We've turned a corner.
I would have agreed if you referenced the 2023 Canes because I'm pretty sure we did that under Holland. -

Was it @frugby who said Harmon wasn't a strong carrier?
Certainly in the past, I think that has been the weakness of his game compared to say Cane? But that try was superb, and he has been on fire so far this season.
On form, he's the early front-runner for the ABs 7 jersey...

Can't beat out and out pace
You can decide not to give him that kind of space though. Bad read to turn in and end up defending no one.
yeah, have to have the faith in you inside man, even at club level we tell guys you'll never get in trouble for covering your man....you'll get a rocket for going after someone elses

Cam Milliar's performance certainly confirmed what I thought of him. He is a long way away from our big hope at 10. Faleafaga looks a lot more confident at this level.
was a step up when Faleafaga came on but i think millar offers some squad depth. What i did like is Millar looks like he's trying to work on some of the things he has been critiqued for before like attacking the line

I seriously think you've been watching someone else and confusing them for Harmon. The only noticeable thing about Harmon when he first hit the scene was his support play and running.

Have too agree, hard running was often the first thing i listed under his name
