Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 2601530, member: 1899"] I don't know how true it is here, but I like how you read on certain boards, "the Courier Fail is crap, I don't believe a bar of it" then they release a story like this and suddenly people are contemplating life without a proper front row forward. To me, this is just one of those dime a dozen stories the papers release because they've got nothing else to write about so they report on a total non-story. Until a team actually comes out to me this whole deal is just hogwash. As for Josh himself... When did BHQ become Passive Aggressive HQ? :laugh: I'm just playing but I see these posts from time to time and wonder where these issues have even spawned from? Seems like out of thin air. Anyways Moose/Big Show/Man With A Unknown Tribal Tattoo McGuire is a star of our pack and somebody I see as a lifer but a player I feel still needs to improve a few facets of his game before he can really push his claim as one of the elites of the game. For me, he's in that pack of forwards like Tim Mannah, Ben Hannant, Aiden Tolman etc. who are good players but haven't quite found that next gear yet. I believe Josh's problem is mostly in his defence where his technique can be soft and he rarely gets the better of his opponent allowing them to roll through the middle with ease. I still have nightmares of both him and Gillo going into tackle together, I've literally seen players drag them a good 10m while they're holding on for dear life. So that's one aspect. The other is his ball playing which was actually one of his best aspects of his NYC days but really fell down last year where he always seemed to be good for a dud pass or two. I think he needs to bring that back and we need to use our forwards more like rna suggests. A few of us have often suggested we should play like the Bulldogs but I think we forget or underestimate the use of the likes of Kasiano, Pritchard, Williams, Klemmer, Gavet and Browne in that mix. They always had mobile prop forwards playing towards big bodies but the only big guys we've really got are Oates, Wallace and Hala. Think we need a better balance. [/QUOTE]
