Re MCK...

He is a decent final ten min each half forward in broken play.

But he is a TERRIBLE outside back...just absolutely woeful defensively.

Our problem is we give him that 17 spot and he is our 'cover' for the backs also. We need a massive upgrade in outside back cover on the bench.

Yes and no ..
Watch again ...Mbye was worse in defence and he’s an origin player .
Centre is the hardest position to defend and everyone says he’s a rock solid defender in that position so defending on the wing should be a breeze..but Mbye was puss .

Have a go defending a high kick like that with a player with substantial height advantage running at you .... no way .... and then tell me what the other three WT “traffic cones” defenders were doing standing around looking like we’re ready for a game of cards.
Absolute rubbish.

 

[Tigers_Tigers]

Yes it’s nice to have one player we lost not come back to bite us on the arse.

Indeed. The alternative title for the eels vs roosters game was "Wests tigers player giveaways that bit them in the arse"


Out of all the players that have left us........3. Its not that bad a strike rate. IMO Teddy is the only one I regret leaving.

Taupau, Teddy, Moses, Matterson, Suli, Sironen (he's been quite good for Manly), Papenhuyzen, Addo-Carr

woods, korebiete, austin, tatola, brown and fifita.

The lack of effort from Mbye in that instance was garbage at best
Didn’t even try to jump or didn’t even try to wrap up Feldt with the ball .

That was one instance MCK was not to blame...you want to try and make a case for the dozens of other defensive misreads and arm grabs he has done whenever at center? This has gone on for years.

So not clear who we are talking about here.
I’m just trying to defend Mbye .... I’m not a fan of MCK either .... but in this instance there were enough WT defenders to defuse the situation .... even a penalty if they tacked him over the sideline would have been a better outcome.

I agree he could've done better....contest the ball regardless.....

But the other defenders could've jumped for it as well.....not just him

To be fair I don't think he called Mbye names, just described his defense. While I don't agree with his post no where in that quoted comment does he call Mbye names.

None of that is in the post you actually quoted though, if you have a problem with his post report them, if not argue his points. I disagree with @hobbo1 all the time, I very rarely agree with him at all, but I do not see anything in there that is overly insulting, things I disagree with sure, but that is par for the course on here.

Taupau, Teddy, Moses, Matterson, Suli, Sironen (he's been quite good for Manly), Papenhuyzen, Addo-Carr

glad we lost Moses and Matterson, can't stand either of them and they would've proved toxic if they stayed. Taupau had his families best interests at heart when he asked for a release, and Suli went through two clubs until he finally pulled his finger out. Papenhuzyen and JAC hurt because both of them slipped through the cracks, and as for Sironen, I think he'll come back one day.

not going to talk about Teddy, I don't watch roosters games because sadly there's still a part of me that's still in love with him.

You post crap most of the time lol, but I'm happy to disagree with you, that's what makes this place fun. Just didn't see your posts as worthy of having the rules thrown at you.

Can I just ask if you meant:

Puss as in a cat

Or

Pus as in a thick yellowish or greenish opaque liquid produced in infected tissue.

"Moses was puss" was in the post I quoted.

 

[realdeallil]

I am surprised about the criticism as most of the tries came on the wing where we had no winger. We had Mbye on the wing and that is not his position. Most of the Cows tries came due to the fact that we had our winger injured.

And it's not name calling, it's a description. I disagree with the description has I thought he was in our top 3 players last night. but it is still not name calling.
