Will McIllwrick's performances this year drive his price up?
If so, I think he is only going to get better and his price will probably go up and up.
I think based on last night's performance we should sign him during the week for 200k-300k.

| cannot believe how good this kid is…..hits like a train in defense and dead set is killing it up the guts.
Very good at finding lazy defenders and making huge ground.
Dead set gem IMO!

He showed he knew when to run and when not to
His defence is pretty good
What more do you want for the money we are paying him
He could quite easily end up as our buy of the season , the other player who also impressed was Idris , he seems to be getting some mobility back and started to look dangerous
2-3 weeks time and the sleeping giant that is Jamal Idris might fully awaken

I like his attitude, works really well and defends good
I doubt he will go anywhere, he is enjoying his footy and hasn't had a real crack in first grade at his other clubs, sometimes it's about enjoying your footy and not the money

Loving what McIlwrick has been doing. As i mentioned in another thread him and Liddle will keep us in good stead for the hooking role for a while. No need for Ballin anymore especially with his injury concerns.

It would be a crime to let today's loss overshadow his performance. He's been heads and shoulders our best player so far in 2017\. Funny how the position most thought we would struggle in the most has turned out to be our most settled position. So good out of dummy half and is becoming so dangerous close to the line. Wrap him up ASAP.

Bagged him at the start of the year, should be offered an extension ASAP. Is as tough as they come and does a lot of dirty work that some of his higher paid and more glorified offsiders do not seem to be willing to do.
I thought he would be a good buy for us this season but even I am surprised how solid he has been.
Its a no brainer sign him up for another 2 years and between him and Liddle the Hookers job is all settled for us.
Ballin has delivered nothing as he is always injured and TBH this year will be his last in the NRL.

After he came off we lost our way, we need another 12 of him.

Gonna go ahead and echo what everyone else has been saying; he's been one of our very best and has to be up there in buy of the year talks. Would love to see him co-captain with ET based on performance this season.
Interesting tidbit in the commentary saying how he's battling arthritis in at least one of his knees, can't doubt his heart, seems a great asset to the club.

Has been a great buy. Exactly what you want from a hooker in the modern game.
Some of this passing yesterday wasn't great but that was mainly due to players lying in the ruck. His weakness I have noticed he struggles in dealing with a body in the ruck. Its like he gets caught in two minds of trying to milk the penalty and just give good service. But this is a minor criticism and if refs properly reffed the ruck, which they haven't done in 10 years, this wouldnt be a problem.
