Going to be a lot of disappointed people when ET returns.

Cleary would be mad not to leave MCK on the bench even when ET returns. He has had good impact. As Tacky said, take the extra hooker off the bench, Taylor can fill dummy half if Liddle still isn't up to playing 80 minutes.

ET will go back to the 13 and Eisenhuth will go into the prop rotation on the bench. There will still be a spot on the bench for a 2nd rower, so he'll have to duke it out with Aloiai. He has the advantage of being able to play in the centres, but he'll have to show he can match it as an impact player.
MCK will not likely get the nod over Aloiai.

That the coach shifted Lawrence to centre the other week may give an indication that he sees MCK as a back rower.

X2\. Wishful thinking to suggest Cleary would play ET at hooker just to accomodate MCK. Someone has to miss out.

How does a bloke playing off the bench become a beast :unamused:
Bah humbug
Thomas Mikaele is the one and only BEAST at this club

He's coming back from injury. He's still running hard but his output isn't horrible either.

I am in if you will have me Tacky.
MCK has greater energy and involvment. Aloiai does more bruising runs.
The style we are playing with numbers everywhere and our excellent scrabble MCK is an important part of that.
Parkerlino, Rochow, Hooth, Twal are undroppable.
These four MCK, Lawrence, ET, Aloiai are competing three spots if we have a utility or second DH on the bench.

In my opinion MCK has benefited from Cleary's coaching style.
He has a couple of off seasons with the NRL squad.
He was a highly skillful junior who made the Australian Schoolboy team but sometimes junior stars do not always transit into NRL stars (i.e Owen Craig)
At 26 years with 35 NRL games experience MCK appears to have found his niche as an impact second row player. He was a makeshift centre for most of last year.
I love the energy he brings from the bench and highly involved.
I wish some of our player trial he cause he does break the line and provides second faze options which are not being taken.
He could actually be used for longer minutes but I have complete faith in Cleary and his management of the bench,
