OMG Leave the guy alone this was not Mc Goldricks fault this was a team problem. Ok he may not be playing the best rugby at the minute but i dont think he would sign a 5 year deal if he did not care about cas would he so just leave the guy alone.

I sometimes think some of our fans aren't happy unless they can single out a player to blame for all the world's (or at least club's) ills and have a go at – and now Sione's gone, looks like McGoldrick is in the firing line.

Friday night was painful to watch: but singling out Ryan is nonsense. One (and just one) of our problems was that our right had side was an open door – and Leeds strolled through it on numerous occasions. As it happens, that was Shenton's side.

Shenny is a international class player, one of the best in the club and a fans favourite. Nobody would dream of singling him out and demanding he be got rid of because of Friday's result. And rightly so. It's not his individual fault. And it's not McGoldrick's.

On Friday we were a team seriously out of shape. As soon as the team was announced over the tannoys and included "stand-off: Dean Widders", I thought "poop, we're going to get tonked". Not because Deano is a bad player, but because if we've got a second rower at stand stand-off, we're stretched badly out of shape.

I suspect a number of players thought the same thing. And when it comes down to it, that's a problem of squad depth.

you are getting this post all wrong i am not blameing him for fridays performance ias i have said earlier this has beeen coming since he got his new 4 year deal and if you think he signed that because he loves the club i think you are missleading yourself on that too, i dont know how much he is on but i am guessing this contract is as good as a pension fund, my point is since he signed the new deal he has got worse and worse and just doesnt look as though he gives a damn at times, so please dont think i have done this on the back of fridays trouncing.

I see what you are saying I have said to my mate that he is not playing well and he is lacking confidence, because everything that happened last couple of years came through mc goldrick all the fans was behind him (most of the time) and suddenly this year that has all changed what with chase coming in and loads off injuries he has been playing out of position he is defiantly not a half back but I think he plays well at full back although his positioning at times is not the best BUT WHEN HE ATTCKS FROM THAT POSITON HE IS HARD TO STOP.

All I am saying is give the guy a break every time we lose its mc goldricks fault!!!! When have the time its not just his fault.

no need to worry about that mate, i just wanted to see what peoples opinion of this guy was, he has still got 3 years left to run so he's going nowhere, i just think its about time he started earning what he is being given, and get rid of his i just have to turn up attitude that he seems to have.

He stuck with us in NL1 and I think he deserves better than being singled out for a poll such as this. That said, if Owen, Sherwin and Dixon are fit for the Wigan game he wouldn't be in my preferred line-up.
