Wade McKinnon poised to make a comback with WT

[Diver]

This is good news, put him at 1 while Teddy is injured and now bring Miller into 7….

Byebye Moltz....

Signed, a former Moltz fan.

My goodness. What will be the average age of our team be if McKinnon is added into the mix?

 

[softlaw]

He will always be a risk of injury but he's played 10 of Hull's 11 games so far this SL season so he's obviously not completely broken.
Far better FB than moltzen and a good mentor for young Tedesco's development.
Unfortunately it will mean sheens will probably put moltzen back to 7 but we can only hope that he gives Miller or maybe even someone like Chisolm a chance first.
Humble strikes me as if he would be a perfect 14.

 

[seijai]

Seems quite a lot here are fans of Miller.

I have only seen him in a handful of games, and from those games, nothing spetacular.

Maybe you guys have seen him in the play in lower grades to rate him so highly??

 

[Swordy]

One giant step backward if McKinnon ends up at fullback.

If he was so good, and everyone on here thinks he is an option, why was it that no one screamed the house down when he left? It's because everyone knew he was passed it. Now we are going back there? Oh come on…....

On his day, he was excellent. Unfortunately his day was somewhere between 2004 & 2009\. A lifetime ago in the NRL.

 

[innsaneink]

Cant really see this being a raging success….my lasting vision of McKinnon is him being assisted limping from the field by a trainer

Meh

 

[innsaneink]

It is understood Tim Sheens has not been approached about the move.

So what do we assume about this comment?
Is the board taking control of future signings?
The joint is stale with Sheensy at the helm,big changes need to be made.
We seem to only recruit past players or fringe Penrith players.

Tim covering his ass

 

[1_4_chicken_chips]

Well said Swordy.
We do have short memories sometimes. But he is still a better option than Moltz at fullback.

 

[Tiger_Watto]

Cant see why this would happen unless Humble is really on the outer and Benji wants his mate back at 7?

 

[tigerbenji]

Mckinnon @ the back & maybe Moltzen on the bench or on the wing for Lotti if he doesnt come good & Miller or Chisolm @ half.

 

[king_sirro]

We have the slowest backline in the comp….so lets go buy a slow fullback to make it complete.

So stupid.
If Sheens isnt happy with Moltz at 1 then surely Ryan would do a better job than McKinnon and then we could bring sone speed onto the wing.

Will the opposition be afraid of a back 3 of McKinnon, Ryan and Tuqiri????? No way.

 

[ti12ga]

Atleast he won't let the ball bounce not scared this man. Always puts his body on the line like a fullback should

I'm with you Sirro. There is a thread somewhere about our lack of speed. Hardly improving the situation replacing McKinnon for Moltzen.

 

[PYMBLEPETE]

I'm for it.

Our attack has completely lost potenency this year. McKinnon's backing up will help with that.

He is good under the high ball. And he will be cheap. What is there to lose?

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

how depressing. beau ryan would be much better there and then room for utai or another player on the wing that the forum prefers. its a shame mckinnons body cant keep up with his mind.

 

[Andyvee]

Win win situation. If McKinnon plays well, then great. If he doesn't, back to usual team list, no probs.

There is no negatives to having him back. Look forward to seeing how he does.

 

[fergiefurr]

I like it, would only be for this year and is safer then Moltzen

 

[tigergirlz]

The negative about McKinnon coming back is that it sends our young second stringers a poor message, that there is less chance of them being groomed for first grade.

That ship has already set sail me thinks

 

[tigertye]

I'm really concerned about his hammies, the Tigers really need to start settling into one position and stick with it. If McKinnon's hammies are good for a week and then he misses two, then we would be forced to move players around which isn't a good thing when your trying to work on combinations, and an individuals game.
