What can you say about the player? You hate to watch him, and probably hate to play against him, but everyone who has played with him speaks volumes about him as a player.
He is a competitor, and to be honest, i think a player like him is what we were missing in the squad this year.
I have kept a close eye on Michael all year, and when the dogs have fallen behind, he just keeps on giving his all.
He is a leader, he has encouraged his team mates when they are down, getting flogged ect and pumps them up when they are flogging a team.
Did anyone go to our game against them in round 2? I didn't but I watched it on the box. When we scored, he absolutely tore shreds off his team.
His interview at the end of the game was nothing short of shattered they didn't keep a clean sheet.
He is the polar opposite of the leadership that was in the team this year.
When we got down, heads went down. When we went down further, they went down further.
The only glimpse of motivation and leadership you saw from a Sharks player this year was Fifita v the Warriors.
I think Mick will be a good signing for us, not for just footballing reasons.
