Another who thinks he's class act then

Not really you can read my thoughts on him on this very thread.

If we signed Thurston you'd say he's over rated, but if some bang average Nrl player who struggled to get a game at more than one club signed for you he'd become a star.

I have posted numerous good points on players you have signed!

McKinnon is no superstar and most realise it on here, calling him a class act is way off the mark!

It's a bloody good job your here to tell him otherwise then

And I did, just hope he reads it now

If Wests were at full strength he wouldnt be in their starting 13.

Who do you think he'd have at fb then?

when fit always first choice fullback for wests.

I'd agree there mate.

Their full strength back 5 IMO is:
Moltzen
Tuqiri
Ayshford
Lawrence
Utai

Disagree, Moltzen may get the job next season (if Benji has his way) but not this.

If Sheens rated Moltzen at fb that highly he'd be there now with Brown at centre and Ryan on the wing.

S'all right anything to help the 'right' side of Hull

Just think the fact that Wests are allowing him to leave early cant be overlooked, if he was such a influential player in their side they would just keep him.

They've got to pay for Blair somehow, there's been a few occasions were Nrl clubs have let older players with a year left get longer deals with sl clubs.

I'm not saying McKinnon is miles in front of Moltzen, Brown or Meany but he is in front.

Think it's fairly understandable, they know Moltzen is the future so they are prepared to let Wade leave now to ensure they keep the younger player happy and also keep Benji sweet.

They are letting him go because they have Moltzen, a bit like us letting Berrigan leave this year because we had Houghton, Would you say Berrigan shouldn't have got a club because we let him leave early? Like I said earlier the guy McKinnon will replace next season (Phelps) never even had a club at the start of the season and if we didn't sack Tansey who's to say he'd have one now.

Agree with you an extent but like shelden says they have to let some go to get the players they want in, I just think people are been to quick to judge McKinnon just based on his age and recent injuries mostly people who haven't seen him play at all which IMO is slightly unfair. On the other hand I wouldn't be offering him a three year deal either 2 years maximum.

30yrs old....injuries....jesus...Why not just keep Phelps????? Never heard of him either.

Is that what we should base our recruitment on?

Because McKinnon is better than Phelps. Would you replace Horne with Lockyer even if just for a year?

Errr no.....just saying i have never heard of him as i dont watch aussie rugby apart fron SOO........few on here saying he has had bad injuries and why we giving out 3 yrs deals for a 30yr old.....i,would personally keep Phelps.

In your opinion...some are saying Phelps is better....id replace Horne with any decent 6 tbh.

If Phelps was all that good why was he clubless for so long, don't get me wrong he is playing well at the moment but we'd still have Tansey if he could behave and Phelps wouldn't be at the club, we hardly had a fight for his signature did we.

how can you not be impressed with phelps he attacks well and supports very well, returns the ball fantastic, good under the high ball and hes only 26. why swap that for a 30 year old on a 3 year deal wrong direction or what??
im guessing phelps is a hell of alot cheaper aswell im with hull on most of the signings but this 1 has me puzzled
hope it all falls through haha
