Sterling said:and everyone wants him dropped after one bad performance ..... his attack is awesome and is the player in our side other than tahu likely to make lines brakes....and his defense ?....one of the best one of one defenders.....

I dont rate the guy, hes good, but hes not that good, Sunday proved that.

and everyone else??
ParraAds said:Im not saying drop Wade cuz of Sunday, I think he struggled a bit but every player has an off game.
I just dont see him as the kind of player who is gonna win games for us, people talk him up like hes an awesome fullback, but hes not. He hasnt got the attacking flare of the Hodgson's etc.
McKinnon in my eyes is just a toiler, he makes everything look difficult, runs sideways and breaks tackles yet generally doesnt break the line at speed.
His support play is ok....but I think he picks the wrong moments and wrong players to follow.
Dont get me wrong I'm not trying to bag the guy, because I think hes a pretty decent player and a lot of clubs would probably want him, but I just dont see him as a long term fullback for the club. Jarryd Hayne is the best young player at the club, and his development is being hindered by playing on the wing in premier league.
Wade is good, but hes a player who I dont think is really ever gonna get much better than he is now, and with players like Grothe and Tahu in our backline, I think someone like Reddy or Hayne would provide a better link to them, especially in counter attack from kicks.
It's just my personal thoughts, not having a go or anything, and I certainly wont kick up a stink about him being picked because theres a lot of other positions that need to be sorted out before his.

You are allowed your opinion.
I thought you expressed yourself very well.

Rebuttal:
"He doesn't have the attacking flair of the Hodgson's, etc."
When was the last time Hodgson or Bowen were rated number one for broken tackles per match? When was the last time ANY fullback made 345 metres in a single match? And, as I said above - was it now McKinnon's breaks that led to tries in both the Warriors and Panthers matches?
Saying he has no attacking spark is just wrong.
