Man the whinging that goes here. I think Mary's fate will be sealed in a matter of weeks but there is nothing he said here thats not a positive. The fact that Field is getting another 40mins after playing last week is great. This would be his highest pressure game to date. If Mary is talking up McCrone then fantastic, hopefully it takes the pressure off Field to perform.
I can't stand McCrone and I reckon I was one of the very few who argued what a rubbish signing he was when he was signed. But I still want to see Field handle this game, and in particular what his kicking game under pressure is like, before he gets the reins in Rd 1.
Its a trial, and unfortunately we are in the position where we need McCrone to get some minutes.
