A good story there..

We wish him the best of luck..

With him at FB, Mullen at 6 and Gids at 7, we'll do well...

Why did you start a new thread?

‘It’s just been unlucky for me that I’ve been playing at the same clubs as the two NSW fullbacks [Brett Hodgson and Gidley] ... I’ve always seen myself as the No.1 fullback here, but that’s out of my hands. I try not to worry about that sort of stuff.

Extremely arrogant remark right there, he is a fringe first grader and a somewhat ok backup to Gidley nothing more, I doubt we will even resign him and if we did Id assume it would be on minimum wage.

 

[Coastbloke]

He's entitled to make that statement..

I mean in all seriousnous, Gids will probably play FB all year but McDonnell has a right to talk himself up and make a statement..

His form in the trials will determine whether he can put his monet where his mouth is..

I say he can..

 

[Coastbloke]

Why did you start a new thread?

Because it's about a Knights player in a Knights forum... :roll:

Yep a bit like SBW being the next Muhammad Ali. Moronic statements week.

The number one fullback at the Knights?

It's either a pisstake or he is delusional.

 

[Adsy]

You already have your own super troll thread on here, cobbs. Should have just added to it.

 

[Bicey_18]

Number 1 Fullback here? Get over yourself Shannon!

You are mediocre at best, heaven knows why you were brought here in the first place.

Expect to spend the season playing reserves....

 

[Bicey_18]

And this c**k...i mean Coastbloke rubbishes Beau Henry... yet drools over Shannon McDonnell?

McDonnell might have what..??

22 NRL games over Henry..

Anyway this is NOT a Henry thread..It's a McDonnell thread..

Discuss..

LOL @McDonnell. That is all.

 

[RHCP]

Talent is not measured on a mediocre amount of first grade games.

Wes > McDonnell

 

[roopy]

If McDonnell didn't believe he could be a quality firstgrader, he should walk out the door and get a real job.
If we have any players who don't think they have it in them to play firstgrade, they should leave.

 

[Pika]

I agree roopy.

An athletes self belief is so important at the elite level.

Hot tip. In anything you do, if you say you 'cant', or you are 'second best', news flash, you 'wont', and you will forever be 'second best'.

He might look back on his career and accept he was never the best , but right now, if he carries the attitude that he is second best, thats where he will stay.

That said, might be best not tell the paper you feel that way haha

 

[RHCP]

Good points, and I understand the need for self-confidence. The way it's worded though just makes McDonnell sound cocky as f**k.

 

[aqua_duck]

McDonnell sux, I mean the bloke couldn't get a start over Beau Ryan ffs

 

[Joker's Wild]

1. Gids
2. Wes
3. McDonnell

This is how I and judging by selections from last year, R.Stone see things.

Confidence is everything but jeez, you dont go to the press with that sort of line. It just makes you sound like a tool

 

[Baron Vo Mandor]

Agree with JW completely.

McDonnell is just weak in all facets and comes across as a real cat with his lack of willingness to put his body on the line.
