Nene McDonald

[latemail]

I think it's time for Mann to take his spot

 

[BlackDuckSaint]

When Dugan returns, Flo back to the right and Mann on the left. Maybe Nightingale can stabilize the defence on the right.

1. Dugan
2. Mann
3. Lafai
4. Aitken
5. Nightingale.

 

[Smack]

Yup agree, he is the weak link

 

[Pro Dragons]

His defence at times is terrible. How was his defence at the Titans?

 

[giboz71]

Not sure what's going on with our right side?

Both Nene and Aitken are at sea out there.

Hope they fix it soon.

He's 106kg's and runs like a skirt, Can't catch. He's bloody quick when out in the open though. He started so well. Maybe thinks his spot is safe.....

The Lafai 1st year syndrome.
They payed the money and i'm here now hunky dory no pressure.
Mary should give him a taste of reggies real quick not wait around like last year with Lafai.

If Dugan comes back I wouldn't be surprised if he makes way. McGregor stated Mann would've been playing this week.. I interpreted that as at the expense of Aitken. Yet Aitken in his last few has been scoring tries too.

Whatever Mary does he has to balance the right hand side and get Nighty back over there regardless.
Mann again showed how good he really is and will kill it in 1st grade.

 

[Drakon]

Nene will play next weekend with Nighty at the back but if he fails again I'd do exactly that Old Timer. Mann with Lafai and Nighty with Aitken. Gotta sort that right side defence out. Mann has shown he deserves his place time and time again. He proved it again these last 2 weeks.

I guess we are still winning even with his bad defensive reads... a massive unit but seems to be stuck in second gear sometimes...

Isn't it great to see nightingale still killing it. A lot of people have called for him to be dropped but he has proven those doubters wrong. He was excellent AGAIN today

 

[chowiesplatterpoo2]

agreed and agreed

 

[R&WTILLIDIE]

Nene reminds me of Peni Tagive. Built like a brick shithouse. Plays like shit

 

[thebigredv]

Some harsh comments. I did say that he needs to contribute more otherwise there will be someone ready to take his place.

Kicking to his height is one way we can bring him into the game. I hope he kills it against the Cowboys. Has a lot of tries in him.

Both he and Aitken are reading terribly in defence!

What I like about Aitken, is he can make 1 on 1 tackles. He will get better with time. Nene seems like one of those big for nothing kids in high school.

I just think Nene doesn't have any confidence in Aitken and therefore is in two minds.
Then again, I could just be wrong!

 

[monsterkev]

McDonald has no confidence in aitkens defence that is the problem manly's 2nd try was a prime example aitken was standing on his heels and the manly attacker would have run around him so McDonald came in to make the tackle but I think the centre would have scored anyway
This did not happen at all last week with Mann at right centre
Aitken is a poor defender thus forcing McDonald to make poor decisions

Mann is a all round better player , more aggressive with what he does , for a big man Nene shows little , he dosnt contest any high ball he just jumps for the sake of jumping , he should go ....
