OFFICIAL Jock Madden #244

[supercoach]

Great depth squad member but he will not lift us into the eight. Maybe if we had a super strong pack he could be the seven we have been looking for, but to me he is your depth half

The problem is, we don’t have a starting half in front of him currently on squad.
As these guys don’t grow on trees, we really need to work with Jock and strengthen the team around him.

 

[Lukic]

It's unfortunate he's so physically limited because he's good at so many things a traditional 7 is meant to be good at.

Put his mind in Doueihi's body and you've got a genuine superstar. Instead he's more like Adam Reynolds without the elite kicking game.

Need to find someone with a long kicking game to partner with him

 

[Alex Seyfarth's #1 Fan]

His long kicking game was terrible, but who cares, our attack finally looked functional with our outside men getting opportunities to shine.

That's because the ball went pass the no.7 for a change.

 

[Papacito]

Jock in the side showed how much we need a genuine number 7.

For mine, we'd be crazy not to keep him around for a few more seasons.

A few more seasons? If we can’t sign anyone better and have to sign him for multiple signings, the club might as well pack it in.

 

[achilles]

U reckon our strength was our edge and ball could not get there with Adam Doueihi?

Geez mate. The team has a good record when he's playing and then the bloke plays a major role in beating the Roosters and kicks the winning field goal and that's not enough for you?

I get that he's no Nathan Cleary, but with only 40 or so games under his belt in the most difficult position, I'd say there could be a lot of upside.

 

[Canberratiger]

As others have said, Jock played well but he is not the answer at 7. The question is: is Latu the answer? I still think he is a 6. So we may have the same issue of too many 6s

One decent game against a side completely off their game isn’t worthy of a long term contract. Take the emotion the emotion out of it.

if he's happy to stay on depth money then I'm all for keeping him

One of the reasons for Jock's success is that he doesn't have a strong personality. He's a team player and yes, he may not possess all the attributes of a top line half, but he does a job for WTs. A comment was made to me by a supporter of the Dragons that we could do with less strong personalities in the team. Well done Jock yesterday.

 

[Winston Churchill]

Yesterday settled the argument.

Madden is far superior to Doohey.

 

[rex2ce]

As a 7 , yes

 

[Winston Churchill]

As a 7 , yes

Madden also doesn't have unwarranted ego, has that over him also.

Doueihi can play mulitple positions.

And your namesake played a strong game!
For all his knockers he keeps turning up !

 

[upthetigers]

I am expecting big big things from Javon Andrews had a chat with a friend and he said he's a very special talent Jock will be lucky to play

Mate said Johnathan Thurston 2.0

Very good call Odessa hope you've been well mate
