Herald has article on McGann, our recruit

[HappyTiger]

Tim McGann will dominate.

He is a hard worker, he is young, he is of an enormous build and extremely talented. Union fans are missing out.

Sonds like a great pick up for us.

I rate McGann highly.

Think he will be a good performer for us. Not big at all, but very mobile and skillfull

Saffy confirmed in today's Herald.

If this McGan bloke's name was mentioned along with Ray Price, I for one will be very happy.

I am, I won't use the word 'Old', I will use the word 'mature' enough to see a lot of Ray Price as a Wallaby and a Kangaroo.

I have always maintained that if Ray Price played Marbles, he would have been a world champion.

He was definitely, one out of the box. His only problem was that he played for the Eels, not the Western Suburb Magpies.

I used to marvel at whet the bloke could and would do, both League and Union.

If he's anywhere the standard of Pricey,m we're on a winner. I'm glad I got to see Price play several times too - he was something else!

good front and side on defence .. not a fire up and kill type of player .. more like % player .. does the small thing that people don't notice, body on the line, covering tackles, cleaning up mistakes .. could cause some defences problems, doesn't look quick, but has got pace, good hole runner and ball runner .. physical, will get dirty and roll up the sleeves .. strong leadership qualities, has high expectations of himself and from team mates ..

Sounds very similar to Ben Galea.

 

[Weasels Ripped My Flesh]

Except Galea does things that we notice - hits holes hard off short balls from the halves, can outrun Newcastle's entire team, makes some big hits in defence :mrgreen:

 

[super_coach]

saw that west harbour centre cris saile on tele a few weeks ago--really looked like a good player,quick and tough--would be a good pick up

 

[smoke more pot]

if it takes saffo next year to find his feet .. he'll do the current league players a lot of good .. he may not cement a spot straight away, but i think his versatility may push a lot of the boys to perform ...
