Message: [QUOTE="Locky’s Left Boot, post: 3204266, member: 9358"] As someone who has been fairly critical of McCullough over the last couple of years and wanted him gone, I’m actually genuinely intrigued to see his game this year having been at another club for a season because I don’t think it’s a coincidence that he played decent football at Newcastle when he was under the guidance of one Danny Buderus who was probably the second best hooker of the modern era. It’s also made me wonder if our problems at 9 over many years is a result of neglecting that position and not having the right people at the club to develop that position? I mean it’s one of if not the most important position on the field in modern football yet we’ve had the likes of Sam Thaiday and Josh McGuire play there FFS. Not to mention we got lucky that we plucked an underperforming Jake Turpin out of QCup but did a decent enough job that we had to shoehorn him in as our starting 9. The fact we also had to panic buy James Segeyaro and Issac Luke on minimum wages means the club has still been neglecting this position. I actually wonder now if we have failed Macca by not actually developing his game. It’s this very reason why I think our halves will be infinitely better next season under Walters tutelage. You can never be too old to learn new things and am actually interested to see Macca brings anything intricacies of hooker play that he picked up in Newcastle. But I won’t hold my breath... [/QUOTE]
