McCrone

Thoughts on what a Raiders fans think of J.McCrone in the starting halves?
Personally, I don't think he is a first grader but not really sure if Cornish is the answer or who could currently replace him. The effort was there last night but cohesion and creativity in the halves was poor

Had enough of him.

If Campo didn't get injured in 2010 then McCrone probably wouldn't have had a career.

I don't know if Cornish is the answer yet, but in his limited time out there he's shown some real potential. He's put on a few tries and he's out there trying things. They don't always come off but they've been potentially good plays and should start to come together with more experience.

The thing I like best is that he doesn't appear at all phased by the step-up to first grade. He was in everything.

I've defended McCrone in the past while Campese spent an eternity out injured and he was showing signs of improvement from week to week.

But now I'd like to see both McCrone and Campese punted. They are both equally useless.

Useless merkin and I hope he reads this. Still makes rookie mistakes after how many years in first grade? Kicking out on the full, knock ons, poor passes. He has it all, our Josh!

How bad was he it was so infuriating to watch him stink the joint up while Cornish sat on the bench.

He's clearly missing a few McCronosomes.

One of the worst first graders I've seen. He flat out struggles to pass the ball.

McCrone re-signed for two years.

In the absence of better players I don't think we really had that much of a choice, really. He has been woeful at times this year, but has had his moments - unlike Campese who played one good game against a vastly understrength Cowboys.

Hopefully Campese is headed elsewhere next year. He is the most important one to get rid of. He offers absolutely nothing these days and after watching him on Sterlo last week it would seem that the players don't really have that much respect for him as captain.

Yeah no choice in it really.

In all honesty, this guy shouldn't have had a first grade career. He's benefited a lot from circumstance.

Disgusted.

If you move him on and bring in even a NSW Cup player, at least you're sending a signal that the utter shit McCrone serves up every week isn't acceptable.

We're accepting mediocrity. But what else is new?

Didn't think it was that confusing however ill point out for you that I was referring to the club . I'm one of those wankers who get off on other clubs misfortunes, I never used to be like that but after years of copping shite about Parra well now it's someone else's turn . As for your mates they're adults Garry I'm sure they won't find the nearest rafter . It will test them out as a fan , trust me it'll be good for them if they can stick with their team . Canberra did declare war on us after all .

Hmm , they got our star recruit to backflip on us and then snuck under the radar and stole our coach . Whether they did us a favour or not on both counts is irrelevant as their intentions was to f**k us .
So f**k them I hope they're miserable . Ricky's just a bonus .

Poor Bitter Wazn Sleeve.

Two wooden spoons really did drive him mad.
