Some of you blokes need to give yourselves a triple uppercut. Make it a quadriple uppercut, Shannon McDonnell ddin`t play last night yet is still critisized ?
I`m a big Beau Ryan fan, i`ve been a fan of his since watching him in his very first trial for the Magpies against the Bulldogs at Belmore early last season when he single handedly ripped into the massive Bulldogs side even though his pack of forwards were being belted from pillar to post. Ryan has plenty of ticker and has proved his class both in the top grade and for the Wests Magpies this season and I agree that he should definately be in the first choice Wests Tigers side.
Whether it be Shannon McDonnell who is the player who deserves to make way is debateable ??? He hasn`t made a single error so far this season, while we have a bloke on the other wing who has made terrible mistakes each game. Now i`m also a fan of big TNT as a footballer, but he`s no good to us on the wing if he keeps making mistakes and maybe better off back in the forwards. Back to Ryan, he really is a centre and our centres aren`t exactly setting the world on fire of late, so I don`t see why their spots are cemented in either ??? Chris Lawrence has to be in the side somewhere, whether it be at left centre or on the wing and Collis did go ok last night, but in the fair dinkum department, he`s been just ok for far too long, a good quality centre should do something spectacular each and every game, not just be ok.
The point is that Beau Ryan along with Tim Moltzen are definately ready to be first grade regulars and if you want to give a fair dinkum acesssment, it shouldn`t just be Shannon McDonnell who is on notice !!!
