gavin – Horwill had a discipline problem, he was easily baited and was constantly yellow carded.
Mooney told him it wasn’t good enough. He made him captain provided he would stay on the field.
So Horwill’s mantra has been must stay on the field. If he hit the french guy he would of been sent off. Also he was hit cheaply from behind so he had no idea who it was. I suspect you would so so what just hit anyone, and be damned if you get sent off.

Horwill’s left pinky has more toughness than all of Sharpe. He would be are second hardest tight 5 behind Vickerman.

Yes a good player. Good potential. I think he could could have reacted more aggressively to that frog assaulted him. He accepted that to easily

Great player and, possibly a future Australian Captain. It will be interesting to see how the second row goes without Sharpe.

Hope he is fit enough for a whole game and can back up the following week.
