Message: [QUOTE="Allo, post: 2869303, member: 8190"] Macca's an interesting case. Is it that he just doesn't know when to pick his moments for attack? Can he just not do it well? Or was it coached out of him during the Hook years? Has some 'next best QLD hooker after Smith' talk made him go into his shell and not chance anything? Or does he and/or the coaching want him to put defence first second and third? I love Macca but agree that he does lack in areas when it comes to attack. Namely his dummy-and-go at the line which has worked maybe 4 or 5 times ever out of about 50 and his 'textbook form' when passing from dummy-half where he plants both feet and spirals the **** out of the ball which mainly happens only when there's no momentum in the tackle, because he's still pretty good at running at offside markers (that never get penalised) and making a good 10-15m off quick ptb's. But at the same time Hunt will look for a pass or something whereas Macca gets tackled, and I get that too from a possession standpoint. Out of those available hookers, who's better than Macca that we could've signed? Probably a more relevant question before his first re-signing in '12, then again in '15, as there were more options. But this year, it's not like we were going to cut a 200-gamer that's been here for life with no one on the market. He was always going to stay. You can keep saying Parcell or whoever as much as you like, but it was never going to happen. [/QUOTE]
