A small update

[strider]

oh...yeah, as i was saying ... i remember in 2004 when burty ...

 

[fish eel]

Well, we've been waiting for it since '99, so I really hope it is THIS season.
Otherwise, I think I'll side with Avenger.
Because of the "Hagan Factor" if he doesn't.

Suity

In defence of luke burt, he did have a very, very good back half of the season last year

 

[Hurriflatch]

2003 - Hindy injured round 1 not back till round 14, Burty injured in round 3 was due back in about round 8 but rebroke his collarbone at training missed the season, CAyless broke his arm in about round 6 and was out for 12 weeks....after the 1st 2 mths or so of the comp it was pretty bloody obvious it wasn't going to be Parra's year

 

[strider]

hmmm....as I was saying don't forget lukie burts first 3 games of 2003 were sh*t hot

 

[Eelementary]

Yeah Burt had a good second half to the season.

Ok that settles it.

where is the 5 year contract?

 

[Pazza]

Mckinnon should be moved to wing IF Joel Reddy is the fullback of choice.

why would we put mckinnon on the wing? we have better wingers
we have good depth there:
grothe,burt,peterson, williams

 

[Jake the snake]

Yeah Mckinnon is a Fullback.

 

[punK-eeL]

mckinnon would do so well on the wing im thinking, not as good as he does his fulback job

 

[Eelementary]

Wade would be an OK winger. But he's a very good fullback.

Plus, McKinnon isn't as quick as some of our other players, so why put him on the flanks?

 

[Pazza]

Cause you dont just Dump a player like Mckinnon. He is a great addition to the team. In the instance that reddy does take Fullback (which im doubting) you would have to have him somewhere in the side.

He would make a decent winger cause he has the One on one defencive ability, reasonalble pace, Great kick returns, good dumby half runner, great support runner (if he comes of his wing ala Blacklock). I think he would be a better option than Burt.

 

[Jake the snake]

Anyone is a better option than Burt but the thing is we have specialised Wingers such as John Williams, Peterson and even Jaryd Hayne who seemed to handle it. We can't be playing players just for the sake of having them in the team. It would upset the balance. Mckinnon is a Fullback who does a good job. Put him on the wing and he would be just average. Parra experimented with Joel reddy on the wing in reserves last year and he was useless once he went back to fullback he was good.

Correct..

Don't fix it unless it is broken IMO.

 

[Stagger eel]

McKinnon's not a winger, to put it bluntly.
