who is the other option for fullback? Moltzen??
He's a better player than tonight which was one of the all time poor NRL performances. 2 dropped grubbers led to 2 tries, he didn't get close to a bomb (yes the post was a hassle but he totally misjudged where it would land) dropped another pass, and got hit in the face by another kick. The things was, he just seemed incapable of getting his hands in the right position - it was like he had double vision or drunk 10 schooners before kick off. I don't consider myself a troll and he others made errors but gee he was close to being the difference between the teams tonight and not in a good way.

Terrible, terrible game tonight. Cost us two tries and looked lethargic from the get go.

Come out swinging why don't you Tiger05 :slight_smile: Tonight's game was a critical one for the team, club, members, supporters and anyone else I've left out, yet McK's attitude just wasn't there, he had a shocker as many have pointed out in this thread it was very deflating to watch. I believe he is a much better player than tonight's performance but it was an important game to win and a professional footballer should treat his game accordingly.

McKinnon is sadly half the player he was. He knows how to position himself but his legs only allow him to do things at half pace. Bring in Jake Mullaney. We have nothing to lose. He can't be any worse than McKinnon and Moltzen should stay away from fullback and go to half. Lui has no confidence in attack or defense at the moment and the opposition knows it.

sorry cunno but ithink the guys time is up …..his hammy will tear as soon as he runs it hard and he is playing broken .....we owe him nothing so we should cut him loose early.....he wouldnt tie hodgos shoelaces.. even now ....yes th ... whats the problem with mullaney... he definately had what it takes in attack ...is his defence sheens major drama ....
The posts above make good points about McK I'm not pushing his cause just want to point out that to be fair to the bloke he shouldn't be hung out to dry just on tonights performance, having said that, it is worth considering other options as he is injury prone. Moltzen doesn't seem to fit fullback at the moment, yes Brown played well there at the end of last year and I wonder whether Sheens would be willing to give Mullaney a go?

Everyone is harping on about Mckinnon's 2 mistakes last night. Yes, they were horrid, but they happen to all players at some point.
The problem I have with him, is his lack of general speed and strength. When the opposition kicks, he is slow to get to the ball and has absolutely no power in returning the ball. Usually he makes about 10 metres on the return, but is picked up and driven back 5 of those 10m. The same goes for when a winger fields a kick, Mckinnon takes it from dummy half on the next play, scrambles a few metres and then gets driven back because he can't evade the markers. It's so frustrating to watch! And yes, I will agree he is generally safe under the high ball. He also supports the forwards occasionally (although his lack of speed and a genuine step means we never score from these line breaks anyway).
I think we should give someone else a go. Someone with speed…someone with some strength.

Yep.
@benji_da_gun said:
If he gets there and no one is around to out-jump him. It's not exactly a strength of his play.
@benji_da_gun said:
This is the strength of his game however as you state he lacks the speed for it to be any good.
@benji_da_gun said:
So do I. Unfortunately a lot of peeps like to lose so they think we should stick with them. Tigers supporters are a funny bunch.

should have known better than to try and pick up a spinning ball at his feet. had time to stop it with his foot then pick it up. simple errors like this cost us the game last night. mitch brown comes to mind as a replacement, if required, if mckinnon injured, cant remember mitch making too many errors when at fullback.
