I know exactly how you feel about this and I feel the exact same way. Some of the stuff that blokes like Macca and Reed cop is unnecessary and undeserved, but it will never change mate. I found I just had to let it go because it will just never change. Macca could save someone from a burning building and people would argue that they aren't entirely sure he didn't light the fire in the first place.

That's not the point we were making and you know it.
Saying 'Macca is slow, there is no reason he can't maintain that slowness' when talking about a beep test (or similar) is either showing you have no idea what a beep test is or just taking another opportunity to have a undeserved dig. A beep test gets progressively faster so if he is so fucking slow how did he score high.
You tell yourself whatever you need to to make yourself feel justified though.
Yo-yo not beep- the speed doesn't increase it is just running and running and running up and back until you drop out. More league specific than beep test.
Here is the All Black's doing it.

Well I didn't realise the yo-yo test didn't increase in speed.
Some of what I said is probably not relevant then.

Is Macca perfect? No. Is he one of the top 3 or 4 hookers in the league? Yes. Is there a difference between pointing out a flaw and making a snide comment? Absolutely.

Exactly, we shouldn't we be trying to have a dig at our players at every opportunity.

You did an amazing job of missing the point there. Truly exemplary.

No not really, No one repeatedly has a go at you on every topic no matter whether it is deserved or not.
That is the point I was making with my post, so yeah, point was missed.

I thought it was funny, especially considering the test they were doing required literally no speed, which is probably why he holds the record.
But you know, some people just have to spoil the fun with their hyper-defensive attitudes.
LEAVE ANDREW ALONE.

I have no problem with macca in our team he is what he is. .a good quality first grade hooker who serves us well .but to say he is in top 4 in nrl imo is of the mark. I think he sits mid range with a bunch of hookers with different strengths and weaknesses all of which we would argue are better or worse depending on our biases. Putting aside club loyalty and player personalities imo he is not better than smith luke Jake friend Farah or ennis. I think he sits in a group wit h segyaro Glanville balin Nathan friend, depending what you want from your team hooker. But like i said he serves us well. .no team can have the best player in every position.

Fair point. Hooker is a position that has a lot of depth in the NRL at the moment and how you rank them is a subjective thing. For me his consistency puts him ahead of the Glanville, Ballin group and his discipline puts him ahead of Luke although he can be outstanding on his day. I also find it hard to discount their personalities when assessing them and so would rate him above Ennis and Farah simply because I think he would be less divisive in the team environment. Either way I am really hopeful that Macca will take his game to another level this year.
