Message: [QUOTE="ningnangnong, post: 2425475, member: 1848"] Have to agree with the few comments regarding how we use Macca. The difference in quality between McCullough and Hunt as hookers was plainly obvious last night once McCullough went off. You don't really notice it so much when he's on the field, but Macca provides the team with fantastic direction and organisation, plus his defence is top notch. Hunt isn't a horrible hooker, but he's of a much lower standard than McCullough - that said, hooker isn't his natural position, so we probably shouldn't expect him to be as effective as Macca. Hunt did impress for that brief period he had at halfback after Wallace went off. Glenn and Norman were clearly our best. I love Norman's running game. Sure, sometimes he might hog the ball (although I think this is more to do with not wanting to force the play, which is a good thing!), but he's so unpredictable and elusive when attacking the line - it's brilliant. His kicking game continues to improve too. He's doing a cracking job. Thought Parker had a strong game, and got through a lot of work as usual, but... his inability to recognise players outside of him and pass the ball is really starting to annoy me. There were a few opportunities last night where Parker received the ball in broken play with numbers outside of him, but decided to put his head down and head back towards the middle of the pitch. It's not a huge concern I guess, but it'd be great if he showed a bit more awareness. Hannant and Petero did well too. Hannant was his usual self, taking plenty of hit ups and making lots of tackles, whilst I thought Petero provided some much needed go forward at important times. Great win! On another note, Alfie Langer was on my plane back to Newcastle this morning! Wonder what the deal is? :shady: I saw him walking down the aisle of the plane and I couldn't believe my eyes! For a fleeting moment I thought he was going to take the spare seat next to me, but alas he ended up a few rows in front. I swear only about a handful of people recognised him. :haha: [/QUOTE]
