Wade McKinnon - get off

[vaney88]

Wade McKinnon is the weakest link he needs to go.

I know Moltzen is not 100% fit but i was sitting behind the Tigers bench and he was desperate to get on there! what was the point of putting him on with 10 to go.

Brown to fullback
Moltzen to Halfback
McKinnon to NSW Cup

The whole team played like busteds last night. I would give them a couple more games together to show what they are capable of before making wholesale changes.

Thats a fair point Rad but i think Mac played to his best! trouble is he is far to slow and pissweak these days that his best will never be up to it at this level of footy. Its a shame as i thought he may have been a reasonable buy, we had a few in here from the Warriors division 2 years ago saying he was washed up and we can finally see it now ,unfortunatly its 2 years to late.

Wade McKinnon seems to have lost everything it takes to be an attacking fullback...sure the brain might still be willing but the body certainly isn't. I'd like to see Mullaney at fullback. I know he is small but he is fast, he can kick goals and he can sniff out a try...bit like Hodgo and Gallant and I never heard Hodgo being called a liability. We MUST get a genuine goal kicker into this team to take that pressure off Benji Marshall. Four has to become six!!!

Doing this also allows Mitch Brown to take up the right wing position where height and speed is more important. I rate him as a wing and I don't think he'd let the team down at all.

I know people seem to think Mullaney is young etc etc but if he is good enough he is old enough as the saying goes. I look at it this way, can he be any worse than McKinnon...are we going to go forward as a team.

I love McKinnon's commitment. He's a goer and will try hard all day. But it's clear he's not the player he was and can't hurt teams like he used to. The football brain is still going well but the results aren't there. Mullaney's time is now. Add to the fact he's a quality goalkicker and it's a no-brainer.

 

[macnaz]

Yep i have to agree with you TigerTale and Charlie Lets get him up there while the season is young.

After one game back fro injury???
mullaney is not a quality kicker!!! He aint much better than Benji

The reality is he wasn't much chop last year either. I can't remember him busting the line open once in his time with the Tigers.

As for Mullaney, I'd like to see his numbers but I reckon he'd be 75%+
He seems to get some pretty big bags of goals.

The interesting thing was when Wade first came back from the injury in 2008 going into the finals, he played genuinely good footy again, scoring a bit and breaking the line off the offloads still. Then he had the spit incident, and from there never ever played the same again. Wade was never fast, but he was elusive, well balanced, and agile enough to hold defenders off for an extra few steps when required. He always hit really good gaps, taking very good lines off the offload. There were some Warriors fans who thought he got genuinely hard done by by being left in reserve grade or put on the bench, but it seemed fairly evident to me that the club tried to give him as much time as possible but he was maybe 40% as effective as he once had been which was a bitter pill to swallow, given he was absolutely brilliant for a period there.

Good luck with him, but realistically that Mullaney kid looks an absolute sensation and should be in first grade ahead of Wade.

Even if he as bad as Benji at lease we have a dynamic fullback option as well as taking the presure off Benji, the last thing he should have on his mind is the last kick/s he missed.

 

[Hooch]

What happened to Wade? He was deadly for a period there. Just got the yips? The knee slowed him down just enough to bring him back to the pack?

Thats pretty well summed it all up .. thanks Iafeta:thumn

Wade has got to go. Was atrocious out there. Lacks a key ingredient in speed.

Fulton, KG and Lui were very ordinary too. Lawrence is far from a Rep player. Overrated. Needs to work on his step.

This is why we need a new coach. These players get complacent. Job for life. I dont give a f**k if half the team walks if that farkwit of a coach leaves. How many years do we have to put up with softc#%k performances.

Soft side coached by a softc#%k.

Hmmm. Your post surprises me Reek

Lawrence is "far from a rep player" on 1 game- and he wasn't poor.....FFS that will do me...

Seriously, what the f**k has he done lately ?

Morris made him look like a school girl. The guy gets too many praises. Talented footballer, but he should be setting the world on fire which he aint. The guy aint improving. No one is improving under this farkwit of a coach. This is why our players don't play rep footy.

HAHAHAHA- our players dont play rep footy- Benji won the Golden boot by a landslide, Gaz is the worlds best 2nd rower. Lawrence, Lote and Farah all got Australian Jerseys last year...

Where do you get this stuff!!

Benji aside. He was talented b4 farkwit got a hold of him.
Ellis was already an international
Lote was already a dual international

Lawrence, Lote and Farah would not play for Australia had farkwit not been the coach. C'mon m8. You know that.

FACT: Farkwit can't get average players and turn them into something good like your Brian Smiths, Wayne Bennett and a few others out there.

How many SOO players do we have? Zippo.
